Character Profile

Illuga is a 4 star Geo Support focused around the Lunar Crystallize Reaction. Illuga is able to provide significant buffs to both Geo DMG and Lunar Crystallize DMG, with the latter gaining a decent bit more. He does this by buffing the Crit Rate and Crit DMG of Geo and Lunar Crystallize DMG dealt to opponents, but also providing additional DMG to damage instance of either type. He will also buff the EM of his teammates alongside the above. These buffs are teamwide, have high uptime, and besides the quill effects of additional DMG, are unlocked entirely through his Skill.

Illuga primarily finds himself in Zibai teams and other Lunar Crystallize teams. His additional DMG effects can only be used up by the on-fielder, and Zibai is the best at using them. While Illuga is not highly reliant on his Constellations to function, his C2, C4, and C6, are all significant power-ups for him and his team.

Talent Priority

  1. Elemental Burst

Illuga's Elemental Burst contains the value of his EM-based quills / additional damage. His other buffs are not contained in a levelable talent, but rather an Ascension Passive. The only thing the talent levels of his Skill do is give him a completely negligible personal damage boost.

Constellations

C1Vigilant Sentinel
C2Elk With Fanged Antlers
C3Earthshaking Maw
C4Solarhunting Wolf
C5Hurricane Steed
C6Nightmare Orioles

C1: Good for Illuga's Energy.

C2: The damage is mostly negligible. but extra Geo Application means more Lunar Crystallize Reaction triggers. It also lets him use Silken Moon's Serenade, freeing up other members of his team to use a stronger artifact set for themselves.

C3: Slightly stronger quills. Decent.

C4: Strong for Zibai teams. 200 DEF can mean 5-7% more personal DPS for her.

C5: Useless.

C6: Doubles his Crit Rate/DMG buffs and improves his Elemental Mastery buff. Very powerful.
