Nihility
Fire4★Released: 25/02/2025 · v3.1 “Would you like to see me break this stone slab on somebody’s chest?”
Guinaifen is a 4-star Nihility character who spreads Burn over several enemies at once, then uses her Ultimate to make that Burn deal damage right away. Her Talent applies Firekiss, which makes enemies take more DMG, so she deals damage and supports the whole team at the same time. The catch is that she needs a lot of investment for a support.
Pick her up if you want another DoT character who specializes in Fire and AoE Burn, especially for a Kafka team. If you only need someone to apply debuffs and don't want to spend a lot of materials, think it over first.
Guinaifen's Burn damage scales off ATK, and landing that Burn takes Effect Hit Rate. Get enough Effect Hit Rate first, then put everything into SPD and ATK%. Swap the Light Cone and Planar Ornament depending on whether you want her leaning toward damage or toward support.

ATK% or Effect Hit Rate both work on the Body, as long as your total Effect Hit Rate reaches 67%. Feet should always be SPD. For the Planar Sphere, Fire DMG Boost comes first and ATK% second. Use an ATK% Link Rope, since Burn damage scales off ATK.
Reach 67% Effect Hit Rate and your SPD breakpoint first, then stack as much ATK% as you can. Don't ignore HP and DEF completely, or she will get taken out in one hit. Break Effect can work too, but it is mainly for very specialized builds.
Her Skill raises her Burn damage, which is where most of her damage comes from. Her Talent raises how much more DMG Firekiss makes enemies take. Level her Ultimate next, since the instant Burn trigger also gets stronger with it. Basic ATK is mostly for recovering Skill Points, so it goes last.
High Poles gives her Basic ATK an 80% base chance to inflict Burn, so Guinaifen can recover Skill Points with Basic ATK and still keep her Burn up. Walking on Knives makes her deal 20% more DMG to Burned enemies. Bladed Hoop advances her action by 25% at the start of battle.
E1 lowers the attacked enemy's Effect RES by 10% when she uses her Skill, making debuffs easier to land. E2 raises the DMG multiplier of her Burn by 40% when her Basic ATK or Skill hits a Burned enemy. E4 regenerates 2 Energy every time her Burn deals DMG. E6 lets Firekiss stack 1 more time.
Guinaifen uses her Skill to put Burn on enemies, and Kafka makes every DoT on them deal damage right away, which is why these two pair so well. If you don't have Kafka yet, use Sampo, Serval or Luka instead. Keep Guinaifen faster than Kafka.
Guinaifen and Serval both deal AoE damage, one applying Burn and the other applying a Lightning DoT. Asta buffs the whole team's SPD and ATK, and Natasha heals to keep everyone alive.
Kafka's Skill and Ultimate make every Burn on the enemy deal damage. If Guinaifen has E4, this can get her Ultimate up 1 turn earlier, depending on your rotation.
Guinaifen can take a Nihility slot in an Acheron team. The downside is that Firekiss needs a few turns to stack and can drop off if the enemy is no longer Burned, so she is weaker there than Pela or Silver Wolf.
Deals AoE Lightning DMG and applies a DoT of her own, so she can stand in for Kafka if you don't have her.
Raises DoT damage and does well against groups of enemies, so he can replace Kafka.
Another DoT character, and his kit also makes enemies take more DMG.
Brings DoTs of his own and also makes enemies take more DMG.
Boosts the team's ATK and DMG, and using her Ultimate pulls every ally's next turn forward.
Buffs the whole team's SPD and ATK, a good fit for an all 4-star team.
His Enhanced Basic ATK lowers the enemy's ATK, and the team gets healed when allies attack that enemy.
A 4-star healer with decent healing who can also remove debuffs.
Her Skill, Blazing Welcome, hits the main target and the enemies next to it, inflicting Burn for 2 turns. Burned enemies take Fire DMG at the start of each of their turns. With the High Poles Trace, her Basic ATK also has an 80% base chance to inflict Burn, so against 1 or 2 enemies you can use Basic ATK to recover Skill Points and still keep her damage going.
While Guinaifen is on the field, every time Burn deals DMG to an enemy, it can apply Firekiss. Firekiss makes the enemy take more DMG, lasts 3 turns and stacks up to 3 times (E6 adds 1 more stack). Since Burn keeps dealing damage, Firekiss gets refreshed almost all the time, and enemies cannot remove it on their own.
Her Ultimate, Watch This Showstopper, hits all enemies. Any enemy that is Burned takes Burn damage right away, without waiting for its turn. This also stacks Firekiss faster. Kafka can do this for every kind of DoT, and Guinaifen does the same thing for Burn only.
Her Technique, Skill Showcase, attacks the enemy right on the map. Once battle starts, Guinaifen hits random enemies 4 times, each with a high chance to apply Firekiss. Add the 25% action advance from Bladed Hoop at the start of battle, and with enough SPD she will often be one of the first to act.
Deals Fire DMG equal to 140% of Guinaifen’s ATK to one designated enemy.
Deals Fire DMG equal to 150% of Guinaifen’s ATK to one designated enemy and Fire DMG equal to 50% of Guinaifen’s ATK to any adjacent enemies, with a 100% base chance to Burn the target and adjacent targets. When Burned, enemies will take a Fire DoT equal to 273% of Guinaifen’s ATK at the beginning of each turn, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Deals Fire DMG equal to 144.0% of Guinaifen’s ATK to all enemies. If the target enemy is currently inflicted with Burn, then their Burn status immediately produces DMG equal to 102% of their original DMG.
When Guinaifen is on the field, there is a 100% base chance to apply Firekiss to an enemy after their Burn status causes DMG. While inflicted with Firekiss, the enemy receives 8.5% increased DMG, which lasts for 3 turn(s) and can stack up to 3 time(s).
Immediately attacks the enemy. After entering battle, deals DMG for 4 time(s), dealing Fire DMG equal to 50% of Guinaifen’s ATK to a random single enemy target each time, with a 100% base chance of inflicting Firekiss on them.
When Skill is used, there is a 100% base chance to reduce the attacked target enemy’s Effect RES by 10% for 2 turn(s).
When an enemy target is being Burned, the DMG multiplier of the Burn status applied by her Basic ATK or Skill increases by 40%.
