Cipher

Cipher is a 5★ Quantum character on the Path of Nihility. As a Nihility unit she applies debuffs that soften enemies while contributing her own Quantum damage.

How to Play

Run Cipher alongside a debuff-reliant carry like Acheron. See her tier on the HSR tier list.

Best Build

Light Cones: Her signature Nihility cone first; otherwise debuff/CRIT Nihility cones or an ERR/CRIT support cone. Relic Set: Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters (4pc) for debuff-gated CRIT and DMG; Genius of Brilliant Stars viable in Quantum-weak fights. Planar Ornament: Firmament Frontline: Glamoth (2pc, at 160 SPD) or Lushaka, the Sunken Seas for energy and front-ally ATK. Main Stats: Body CRIT Rate/DMG, Feet SPD, Sphere Quantum DMG, Rope ATK% or Energy Regen. Substats: SPD (to breakpoint) > EHR (if desired) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK%.

Best Teams

1. Acheron Nihility: Acheron, Pela, a sustain.
2. Follow-Up Sub-DPS: Feixiao or Dr. Ratio, a buffer, a healer.

Kit Overview

• Skill: applies her mark and contributes to her stored-damage mechanic.
• Ultimate: detonates stored ally damage as True DMG and applies vulnerability.
• Talent/Role: Nihility universal Sub-DPS that follow-up attacks marked targets and debuffs enemies.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Flexible Quantum Sub-DPS; satisfies Acheron's Nihility need; frequent follow-ups and debuffs. Cons: SPD-breakpoint sensitive; her stored-damage payoff depends on the rest of the team.
