Should You Pull for Topaz & Numby?

Sub-DPS

Topaz is part Sub-DPS, part support for follow-up attack teams. Her Skill puts Proof of Debt on one enemy so it takes more DMG from Follow-up ATKs, and Numby keeps attacking that same target. If you have Feixiao or Dr. Ratio she is worth a look, but outside follow-up teams don't expect her to replace anyone.

A great fit if you own (or plan to pull) a Follow-up ATK DPS like Feixiao or Dr. Ratio. If your account has almost no follow-up attackers, skip her, because her damage drops off hard without that kind of teammate.

Memory of Chaos Strong She can pile damage onto one target, but she only shines when paired with a follow-up attack team.
Pure Fiction Good Topaz only hits a single target, so she has a hard time making an impact in this mode.
Apocalyptic Shadow Very strong Put Proof of Debt on the boss and have the whole team pour Follow-up ATKs into it.
Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The best support option for follow-up attack teams
  • A rare and strong damage multiplier that will most likely only get better over time
  • Above average Toughness damage
  • Very flexible and Skill Point efficient
  • Good personal damage, especially alongside follow-up attack characters

Cons

  • The randomness of Proof of Debt is annoying
  • Low Energy regeneration
  • Worse than the other support options in teams without follow-up attacks
  • Her personal damage collapses without follow-up attack characters
  • Single-target only, so she is at a disadvantage when AoE is needed

Best Topaz & Numby Build Guide

Best Topaz Build

Almost every attack Topaz makes counts as a Follow-up ATK, so anything that boosts Follow-up ATK DMG applies to most of her kit. Beyond that, just stack CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK.

Best Light Cones

  • 1 Worrisome, Blissful Worrisome, Blissful Best
    Her signature Light Cone and the number one pick. It raises her CRIT Rate and Follow-up ATK DMG, and it puts the Tame debuff on enemies so allies who hit them deal more CRIT DMG. In other words, it makes Topaz hit harder and pushes the whole team's damage up too.
  • 2 Cruising in the Stellar Sea Cruising in the Stellar Sea Great
    Gives CRIT Rate plus an ATK boost every time Topaz defeats an enemy. A very solid choice until you get her signature.
  • 3 See You at the End See You at the End Great
    A 4-star Light Cone that raises CRIT DMG and Follow-up ATK DMG, which is exactly how Topaz plays.
  • 4 Swordplay Swordplay Good
    Stacks a DMG boost as long as she keeps hitting the same target, and since Numby attacks so often the stacks build up fast, which works well against bosses. If you have to switch targets a lot, though, it loses a big chunk of its value.
  • 5 Only Silence Remains Only Silence Remains Good
    Raises ATK and adds CRIT Rate when there are 2 or fewer enemies in battle. It gets weaker in fights with more enemies on the field.

Best Relics

1
The best set. All of Topaz's attacks count as Follow-up ATKs, so the 2-piece alone already suits her, and the 4-piece raises her ATK based on how many hits her Follow-up ATKs land.
2
Close behind the set above, but it needs 3 debuffs on the enemy to fully activate. Only use it if your team keeps enough debuffs on the target.
3
A 2 + 2 mix to run while you keep farming pieces with better substats. For an even cheaper option, 2 Firesmith of Lava-Forging + 2 Musketeer of Wild Wheat also gives a decent boost to her overall damage.

Best Planar Ornaments

1
The best set, and it gives Topaz a lot of damage. It boosts Follow-up ATK DMG whenever allies use Follow-up ATKs, and since Topaz is always played with teammates like that, stacking its extra effect is easy.
2
Gives a lot of CRIT DMG. The downside is that Topaz's kit already has plenty of CRIT DMG, and she is shorter on CRIT Rate.
3
Gives a lot of CRIT Rate, which is exactly what Topaz tends to lack. Its extra effect is always active when she plays alongside Dr. Ratio or Feixiao.

Main Stats

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

Substats

  • 1SPD (up to your breakpoint)
  • 2CRIT Rate
  • 3CRIT DMG
  • 4ATK%

On the Body, CRIT Rate is slightly ahead of or equal to CRIT DMG, so pick whichever balances your CRIT ratio. On the Feet, SPD comes first, but ATK% still works. On the Planar Sphere, take Fire DMG Boost first. The Link Rope is ATK%.

Keep the usual ratio of about 1% CRIT Rate to 2% CRIT DMG. Topaz can get away with slightly less CRIT Rate than normal, because her Ultimate gives Numby extra CRIT DMG and her signature Light Cone also gives CRIT DMG that doesn't show on the character sheet. SPD only goes first if you are aiming for a specific breakpoint, so put SPD ahead of CRIT until you reach it.

Stat Targets

  • CRIT Rate70% or more, 80% to 90% if you invest heavily
  • CRIT DMG140% or more, 150% to 170% if you invest heavily
  • ATK2500 or more, or roughly 2100 to 2800
  • SPD134 (recommended), or 143 and up

Skill Priority

Skill = Talent > Ultimate > Basic ATK

Leveling her Skill raises its own damage and the extra Follow-up ATK DMG enemies take, so level it first together with her Talent, which is her biggest source of damage. Her Ultimate raises Numby's DMG and CRIT DMG, so it comes after those two. Basic ATK goes last.

Trace Priority

Overdraft first, then Financial Turmoil and Stonks Market

Overdraft turns her Basic ATK into a Follow-up ATK, so her Basic ATK also benefits from Proof of Debt and advances Numby's turn. Financial Turmoil adds 15% DMG against enemies with Fire Weakness, and Stonks Market gives her an extra 10 Energy every time Numby attacks in the Windfall Bonanza! state, so her Ultimate comes back faster. Unlock all three early.

Eidolon Priority

E0 is enough, stop at E1 if you want more

Topaz doesn't need Eidolons, and they aren't worth chasing extra copies for. If you really want one, E1 Future Market is the best stopping point: enemies with Proof of Debt that take Follow-up ATKs enter the Debtor state, which increases the CRIT DMG of Follow-up ATKs against them by 25%, stacking up to 2 times.

Best Topaz & Numby Teams

Follow-up Team with Feixiao

Replace Feixiao with: Jing Yuan, Yunli, Clara Replace Robin with: Ruan Mei, Tingyun, Asta Replace Aventurine with: Huohuo, Fu Xuan, Bailu

Feixiao deals most of her damage through Follow-up ATKs, so she gets the full benefit of the Proof of Debt that Topaz puts on the enemy. Every time Feixiao lands a Follow-up ATK on that target, Numby's turn is advanced and Topaz adds more damage of her own. Robin increases Follow-up ATK DMG on top of that. If you swap Feixiao for Yunli or Clara, bring Lynx so they get hit more often and trigger their Follow-up ATKs more.

Follow-up Team with Dr. Ratio

Replace Silver Wolf with: Robin Replace Luocha with: Aventurine, Huohuo, Fu Xuan

Dr. Ratio is another DPS who lives on Follow-up ATKs, so once Topaz marks the boss with Proof of Debt, his damage goes up noticeably. Silver Wolf stacks lots of debuffs on the enemy. If you run Aventurine as your sustain, you can swap Silver Wolf for Robin as a second support.

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

Topaz is the only 5-star you need here. Asta boosts Topaz's SPD and ATK. March 7th (The Hunt) boosts Topaz's SPD and CRIT DMG and adds extra damage with her Enhanced Basic ATK. Natasha handles the healing.

Fire and Quantum Team with Himeko

Replace Fu Xuan with: Lynx, Trailblazer (Preservation)

Use this team in content where enemies are weak to Quantum but not to Fire. Silver Wolf is a must, because she implants the missing Fire Weakness on the enemy. Topaz helps break the Weakness of tougher enemies so Himeko can use her Follow-up ATKs more often. Lynx heals and cleanses debuffs better than Fu Xuan, while Trailblazer (Preservation) is a defensive option every account already has, which fits mono-Fire teams.

Best Teammates for Topaz & Numby

Feixiao
Feixiao

One of the two top Follow-up ATK DPS units. She makes full use of Proof of Debt and keeps Numby acting constantly.

Dr. Ratio
Dr. Ratio

Most of his damage comes from Follow-up ATKs, so pairing him with Topaz is a natural fit.

Robin
Robin

Increases Follow-up ATK DMG. With Robin, Topaz can even work as a Main DPS in Fire-weak content, and her damage in dual-DPS teams nearly doubles. Numby acts so often that it triggers Robin's extra damage very quickly.

Aventurine
Aventurine

Covers the shielding in follow-up teams. With Aventurine in a Dr. Ratio team, you are free to run Robin as a second support.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf

Stacks lots of debuffs on the enemy, and can implant Fire Weakness for Topaz's team when the enemy doesn't have one.

Himeko
Himeko

Works very well against Fire-weak enemies. Topaz breaks Weakness quickly so Himeko gets to use her Follow-up ATKs more often.

Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan

His main damage source is his Follow-up ATKs, so Topaz's Skill boosts that part of his kit. Even though his follow-ups don't come often, Topaz's own damage still goes up noticeably.

Yunli
Yunli

Most of her damage comes from Follow-up ATKs. Bring Lynx so Yunli gets hit more and triggers her Follow-up ATKs more often.

Clara
Clara

Also lives on Follow-up ATKs. Pair her with Lynx or March 7th (with the shield on Clara) so she gets hit more.

Ruan Mei
Ruan Mei

Increases the DMG and Break Efficiency of both Topaz and your main DPS.

How to Play Topaz & Numby

Put Proof of Debt on Your Main Target

Her Skill Difficulty Paying? inflicts Proof of Debt on one enemy, making it take more DMG from Follow-up ATKs. Only one enemy can carry it at a time, and it stays on whoever was hit most recently. If no enemy on the field has it, Topaz puts it on a random enemy by herself. Put it on the boss or an elite, then have the whole team focus their Follow-up ATKs on that target.

Numby Is a Separate Unit

Her Talent Trotter Market!? summons Numby at the start of battle. Numby has its own spot in the turn order with 80 SPD, and on each of its turns it launches a Follow-up ATK on the enemy with Proof of Debt. Every time that enemy receives an ally's Follow-up ATK, Numby's action is Advanced Forward by 50%, so it acts far more often than its low SPD suggests. This can't trigger during Numby's own turn, and if Topaz is downed, Numby disappears.

Ultimate Puts Numby in Windfall Bonanza!

Her Ultimate Turn a Profit! puts Numby in the Windfall Bonanza! state, greatly raising its DMG and CRIT DMG. During this state, ally Basic ATKs, Skills and Ultimates that hit the enemy with Proof of Debt also advance Numby's turn, so Numby can act nearly back to back. Numby leaves the state after 2 attacks. Thanks to the Stonks Market Trace, each of those attacks also gives Topaz extra Energy.

Flexible With Skill Points

Once an enemy has Proof of Debt, you can use either her Skill or her Basic ATK. The Skill costs 1 Skill Point but deals more damage and Toughness damage and regenerates more Energy. Basic ATK is slightly weaker on all of those but gives back 1 Skill Point. Her Skill already counts as a Follow-up ATK, and the Overdraft Trace makes her Basic ATK count as one too, so Numby's turn is advanced every time Topaz acts. Numby also deals solid Toughness damage, so against Fire-weak enemies you will break them very often.

Quick Tips

  • Always put Proof of Debt on the boss or an elite, not on a small enemy.
  • Short on Skill Points? Just use Basic ATK, since Overdraft still makes it a Follow-up ATK.
  • Use her Technique Explicit Subsidy before battle, and Topaz regenerates Energy after Numby's first attack.
  • Her Technique also sends Numby looking for Basic Treasures and Trotters around the map, and gives a small bonus of credits when you defeat overworld enemies.
  • With Swordplay, avoid switching targets, and Only Silence Remains only works well when there are 2 or fewer enemies in battle.

Topaz & Numby FAQ

Is Topaz worth pulling?
Yes, if you play follow-up teams with Feixiao or Dr. Ratio, since she boosts your main DPS and also deals decent damage herself. Outside those teams, Topaz doesn't replace anyone.
Is Topaz a DPS or a support?
Both. She is a Sub-DPS with decent single-target damage, and at the same time a support for follow-up teams thanks to Proof of Debt.
What Light Cone should Topaz use without her signature?
Cruising in the Stellar Sea is a solid 5-star option. For 4-stars, use See You at the End or Swordplay, with Swordplay best when you are hitting one target for the whole fight.
Which Eidolon should I get for Topaz?
E0 is enough. If you want to go further, E1 is the best stopping point, because it raises the CRIT DMG of Follow-up ATKs against the target with Proof of Debt.
Can Topaz handle multiple enemies?
No. Topaz and Numby only hit a single target and already start to struggle with 2 enemies, so she is at her best when there is a boss or elite to focus down.
