Character Background 

Augusta is the undefeated gladiator of Septimont Arena. With her crimson hair and Roman-inspired armor, she embodies a "Goddess of War" aesthetic. Despite being mortal, her combat prowess rivals the divine. Her kit revolves around a three-resource rotation system.

 

Augusta Skill Mechanics

1. Core Rotation

Augusta gains three special resources to empower her skills:

 

Momentum: Obtained via normal attacks, charged attacks, or Resonance Skill hits. Fully stacks unlock Enhanced Charged Attacks.

 

Authority: Gained through Enhanced Charged Attacks, Intro Skills, or Ultimate. At max stacks, unlocks 4-stage Enhanced Resonance Skill (Deals Electro DMG).

 

Deterrence: Earned via:

•  4th hit of Enhanced Resonance Skill
•  Teammate's Outro Skill
•  Exiting combat for 4s

 

At 2 stacks, triggers 7-second time-stop during Ultimate (Tower timers freeze) and summons a 30s Solar Domain.

 

 

2. Key Abilities

Augusta - Skills Preview (Subject to Change) 

Note: All information is based on leaks and beta testing. Final kit may differ upon official release. 

 

Basic Attack

•  Expected to feature electro-infused sword combos with high heavy attack multipliers 
•  Final attack in sequence may trigger AoE electro explosion 

 

Resonance Skill

•  Creates an electro field that:
•  Deals persistent AoE electro damage 
•  Potentially boosts Augusta's ATK speed/Crit Rate while active
•  Enemies inside may receive conductive debuff (increased electro DMG taken)

 

Forte Circuit

•  Summons the griffin shown in teasers for special attacks:
•  Phase 1: Griffin delivers high-electro DMG AoE slam 
•  Phase 2 (Forte Gauge full): Transforms into electro greatsword for:
•  Enhanced heavy attacks with bonus electro penetration 
•  Massive single-target lightning plunge finisher 

 

Resonance Liberation

Enters storm avatar mode with:

•  3-stage electro nuke (scales with heavy attack bonuses)

Applies "Conductive Vulnerability":

•  15-25% increased DMG taken (all sources)
•  Extra 30% vulnerability to electro/heavy attacks
•  Possible 7-second time-stop during final hit (Tower clock freeze)

 

3. Resonance Chains

Basically, it's all about increasing the values. The mechanism depends on whether it's for 2-chain or 6-chain.

 

 

Augusta Signature Weapon

Thunderflare Dominion

Base ATK: 675丨Crit. Rate 12.2%

• Increases ATK by 12%.

Augusta Potential Teammates

While self-sufficient, Augusta excels with:

1. Iuno

•  Shield-to-Crit DMG conversion synergizes perfectly
•  Outro Skill boosts Charged Attack DMG

 

2. The Shorekeeper

•  Converts excess Crit Rate into Crit DMG

 

3. Yinlin

•  Enables triple-carry Electro team

 

Augusta Pulling Recommendations & Version Outlook

•  Priority: Fully functional at S0. S0 + signature weapon is recommended for time-stop abyss clears.
•  F2P Option: Sanhua can replace Iuno if unavailable.

 

Final Thoughts

Augusta's time-stop and braindead rotation make her a top-tier pick for 2.6. Her Roman gladiator design and overwhelming power solidify her as a must-pull for meta and waifu collectors alike!
