Should You Pull for March 7th (The Hunt)?

Support DPS

She is a hybrid: she deals very high single-target damage with her Enhanced Basic ATK while also buffing one ally she picks as her Shifu. Depending on the Shifu's Path, you play her as a CRIT damage dealer or as a Super Break unit. She is free for everyone and you will get all of her Eidolons over time, so she is well worth your materials.

She suits you if you already have a damage dealer to make her Shifu, such as Topaz & Numby, or if you want to build a Super Break team around Trailblazer (Harmony).

Memory of Chaos Strong She works here, but she is not one of the first picks for this mode yet.

Pure Fiction Good Every attack she has hits a single target, so she is usable here but not a first choice.

Apocalyptic Shadow Strong Thanks to Filigree, she can reduce the Toughness of enemies that share a Weakness with her Shifu's Type, even when they are not weak to Imaginary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

A strong and flexible hybrid of support and damage dealer
Excellent synergy with top-tier characters, both supports and DPS
Scales extremely well, with built-in follow-up attacks and self action advance
Can be played as a CRIT carry or as a Super Break specialist
Everyone gets her for free and will receive all of her Eidolons for free

Cons

A little tricky to pilot
You cannot use one build for every playstyle

Best March 7th (The Hunt) Build Guide

CRIT Build

In this playstyle she carries the damage herself with her Enhanced Basic ATK. Build her like a normal DPS: ATK, CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, plus some SPD.

Best Light Cones

1 In the Night Best

The most consistent pick and usually her highest damage. It gets stronger the more SPD she has above 100, and she wants SPD anyway, with E1 adding another 10% SPD. A little extra SPD from substats or from teammates is enough to push it close to its maximum.
2 Swordplay Great

A 4-star Light Cone that is quite strong at max Superimposition (S5), but it comes with a condition: both she and her Shifu have to attack the same target to keep the stacks. If she switches targets, the stacks drop. If the Shifu attacks a different enemy, her follow-up attack goes to that enemy too, and the stacks drop as well.
3 Worrisome, Blissful Good

This is Topaz & Numby's signature Light Cone. It gives her competitive personal damage and puts a debuff on the enemy that raises the whole team's CRIT DMG. That debuff also keeps 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert active at all times, or lets you try 4-piece Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters. Counting what it does for the team, it is probably her best CRIT Light Cone.
4 Cruising in the Stellar Sea Stopgap

At max Superimposition (S5) it gives a fairly competitive damage boost. Part of its effect is conditional, but if you play around it you can keep it up for a good while, even in teams with two damage dealers.

Best Relics

The most consistent and usually the strongest set for the CRIT build. It boosts Basic ATK, and Basic ATK hits make up most of her damage.

Just about as strong, but it needs the target to have a debuff. Her own kit cannot apply debuffs, so you need or a teammate to do it.

If you don't have a 4-piece set with good stats yet, mix two 2-piece bonuses. Pick any two from this group: Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters, , , , .

Best Planar Ornaments

The best and easiest set to use. It boosts her CRIT Rate and Basic ATK damage in every situation.

Use it instead of when the team has another The Hunt character. It gives more CRIT Rate, which helps if you are short on that stat.

Needs her at 135 SPD. At 135 it is slightly behind the two sets above, and if you can push her to 160 SPD it pulls slightly ahead.

Main Stats

BodyCRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
FeetSPD or ATK%
Planar SphereImaginary DMG Boost or ATK%
Link RopeATK%

Substats

1SPD (until breakpoint)
2CRIT Rate
3CRIT DMG
4ATK%

In each slot, the first option is slightly better than or equal to the second, so either one works. CRIT Rate body, SPD feet and Imaginary DMG Boost sphere come first, and the rope is simply ATK%.

CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG matter equally. For every 1% CRIT Rate, try to have 2% CRIT DMG. The targets below do not include the extra SPD from E1 when a Shifu is on the field.

Stat Targets

CRIT Rate75% to 85%
CRIT DMG150% to 170% or more
ATK2200 to 2500 or more
SPD123 or more (134 in combat)
HP2800 or more
DEF900 or more

Skill Priority

Basic ATK > Skill = Talent > Ultimate

Level Basic ATK first, because her Enhanced Basic ATK is her main source of damage. The Ultimate comes last.

Trace Priority

Swan Soar > Tide Tamer > Filigree

Swan Soar advances her action by 25% when the battle starts, so you can pick a Shifu before the real fighting begins. Tide Tamer gives the Shifu 60% CRIT DMG and 36% Break Effect for 2 turns after each Enhanced Basic ATK. Filigree lets her reduce the Toughness of enemies whose Weakness matches the Shifu's Type.

Eidolon Priority

E2 is the most important

You will get all of her Eidolons for free over time. E1 gives her 10% SPD while the Shifu is on the field. E2 is the final piece: whenever the Shifu uses Basic ATK or Skill to attack an enemy, she immediately launches a follow-up attack, triggers the effect for the Shifu's Path and gains 1 point of Charge, once per turn. E6 adds 50% CRIT DMG to the next Enhanced Basic ATK after her Ultimate.

Super Break Build

When the Shifu is Harmony, Nihility, Preservation or Abundance, her Basic ATK and every hit of her Enhanced Basic ATK deal a lot more Toughness Reduction, so she can play as a Super Break unit. However, she cannot deal strong Break or Super Break DMG on her own, so this team needs Trailblazer (Harmony).

Best March 7th (The Hunt) Teams

CRIT Dual DPS Trio

Make Topaz & Numby her Shifu. Every attack from Topaz or Numby gives her Charge, so she reaches her Enhanced Basic ATK much faster than with other Shifu picks, and Topaz also gets strong buffs at the same time. Numby also advances its own action whenever she lands a follow-up attack, which speeds the loop up even more. Robin buffs the whole team, and since March acts so many times, she gets a lot out of Robin's action advance and extra damage on hit.

Super Break Team

Trailblazer (Harmony) is a must, because the Trailblazer's Ultimate is currently one of the few ways to let teammates deal Super Break DMG. When she picks a Nihility Shifu like The Dahlia, she gets her own separate 2x Toughness Reduction multiplier, enough to work as the main Super Break DPS. Gallagher heals and brings Break buffs. He is also a great Shifu: he builds high SPD and advances his own action, so he gives her more Charge.

Best Teammates for March 7th (The Hunt)

Topaz & Numby

One of the best damage-dealing teammates for her CRIT build. As Shifu, attacks from both Topaz and Numby give her Charge, and Numby advances its own action when she lands a follow-up attack.

Robin

A great fit for the CRIT build. She buffs the whole team, and her action advance and extra damage on hit are especially valuable because March acts more often than most characters.

Trailblazer (Harmony)

Required for any Super Break team. March has huge Toughness Reduction but cannot deal strong Break or Super Break DMG herself, and the Trailblazer's Ultimate fills exactly that gap.

The Dahlia

With a Nihility Shifu, March gets her own separate 2x Toughness Reduction multiplier, enough to play as the main Super Break DPS.

Gallagher

A very strong healer, especially in Break teams. He likes SPD and advances his own action, so as her Shifu he gives her more Charge.

How to Play March 7th (The Hunt)

Pick a Shifu With Her Skill

Her Skill Master, It's Tea Time! makes one ally (not herself) her Shifu and increases that ally's SPD. Only the most recent target counts as Shifu, and they keep the role until you use the Skill again. If the Shifu is Erudition, Destruction, The Hunt, Remembrance or Elation, each Basic ATK and each hit of her Enhanced Basic ATK deals extra Additional DMG based on the Shifu's Type. If the Shifu is Harmony, Nihility, Preservation or Abundance, those hits deal more Toughness Reduction instead. You only need to use the Skill once at the start of the fight, so she barely costs any extra Skill Points.

Build Up 7 Charge

Her Talent Master, I've Ascended! gives her 1 point of Charge each time the Shifu attacks or uses an Ultimate. Her normal Basic ATK also gives 1 point. At 7 Charge she takes action immediately, deals more damage that turn, her Basic ATK becomes Enhanced, and she cannot use her Skill. The attack uses up 7 Charge, and she can hold up to 10. Her Enhanced Basic ATK starts with 3 hits, then after the last hit has a 60% fixed chance to deal 1 extra hit, up to 3 extra hits. It does not recover Skill Points but it regenerates 30 Energy.

Use Her Ultimate Before an Enhanced Turn

Her Ultimate costs 110 Energy, hits one target, and gives her next Enhanced Basic ATK 2 more initial hits (5 in total) plus 20% more chance for extra hits (80% in total). Even if you get no extra hits at all, the Enhanced turn after her Ultimate is still very strong, and it costs no Skill Points.

Filigree: No Imaginary Weakness Needed

With the Filigree Trace, she can reduce the Toughness of enemies whose Weakness matches the Shifu's Type. For example, with a Fire Shifu she can break Fire-weak enemies even if they are not weak to Imaginary. When she breaks them, it triggers the Imaginary Weakness Break effect. So pick a Shifu whose Type matches the Weaknesses of the enemies you are fighting.

Quick Tips

Have teammates use their Techniques before a fight: each one gives her 1 point of Charge when the battle starts, up to 3 points.
If you use her own Technique, she regenerates 30 Energy when the next battle starts.
Swan Soar lets her act early, so use her Skill to pick a Shifu on her first turn.
Tide Tamer gives the Shifu 60% CRIT DMG and 36% Break Effect, so choosing a Shifu also means choosing who gets the buff.
With Swordplay, have both her and the Shifu attack the same target so you don't lose the stacks.

How much SPD does she need?

The suggested target for both playstyles is 123 SPD or more, which is 134 in combat.
