Best Psychubes Sonetto Build

• Brave the New World
• Her Second Life
• His Bounden Duty
• The Footloose

Character Role Sonetto Build: Flexible

• Early Game: Sonetto can serve as your primary DPS, carrying the free-to-play team and acting as a buffer. You’ll be enhancing Eagle’s and/or Leilani’s damage as you consistently employ Exhortation IX throughout battles.
• Disarming Expert: Her [Disarms] from her first skill prove invaluable when confronting formidable adversaries, significantly increasing the team’s survivability by controlling the battle.
• Late Game Dominance: In the late game, her ultimate ability continues to strike with tremendous force, thanks to her self-buff capabilities.

Strategy To Play Sonetto Build

• Early Game: When you obtain your first 6-star unit from the “beginner’s banner,” Sonetto remains indispensable in your team. She can now serve as a secondary DPS for Regulus, Eternity, or Lilya, simultaneously boosting their damage and safeguarding them by reducing incoming damages and inflicting [Disarm] during crucial moments.
• Flexible Buffing: Utilize Exhortation IX in a flexible manner:
  • Before unleashing your main DPS, buff them first to increase the overall team’s damage output.
  • If an enemy is about to unleash a devastating attack, use it to bolster your team’s defensive capabilities, thereby enhancing the team’s defense and reducing incoming damage.
• Note: Always ensure to self-buff Sonetto before deploying her ultimate (Skill 2 → Ultimate).

Sonetto’s Tier

• A-Tier: To be frank, it’s bordering on S-Tier for F2P players. Sonetto offers exceptional value, and you’ll receive ample resources to upgrade her in a cost-effective manner. The generosity of the developers in providing us with such a potent unit early on, along with the materials for free upgrades, positions her as an S-tier character for ‘early game content’ in the global release.
• Our Advice: We strongly recommend building Sonetto early, even if you’ve performed some summons and obtained other, ostensibly stronger units initially. Her applied buffs, both offensively and defensively, along with her damage output, are truly remarkable. BETA testers and experienced CN server players echo the same sentiment. If she had the stats of a natural 6-star character, there would be little debate about placing her in the S-tier.

Best Team For Sonetto Build

Budget Team– Lilya, Sonetto & Tennant

Team Dynamics:

Sonetto’s Buffs:

• Sonetto consistently provides +DMG Dealt and -DMG Taken buffs, empowering Lilya to maximize damage output even in suboptimal conditions.

Tennant’s Contribution:

• Tennant steps in to enhance Lilya’s damage further with the [Diamond Bullet] buff, strategically reducing an enemy’s Reality DEF.

Survivability Measures:

• Tennant’s reliable [Shield]s and Sonetto’s strategic [Disarm] play crucial roles in safeguarding Lilya as she accelerates towards unleashing her Ultimate.

Ultimate Healing Mechanism:

• Lilya’s reliance on her Ultimate’s Leech Rate becomes evident, serving as a vital source of self-healing beyond [Shield]s and -DMG Taken buffs.

Tactical Insights:

• The consistent buffs from Sonetto enable Lilya to optimize damage output, mitigating challenges.
• Tennant’s [Diamond Bullet] buff aligns seamlessly with Lilya’s offensive strategy, creating a potent synergy.
• The combined efforts of [Shield]s from Tennant and [Disarm] from Sonetto contribute to Lilya’s safety during the critical phase of Ultimate activation.

In the intricate dance of abilities and buffs, Sonetto, Lilya, and Tennant showcase a harmonious collaboration. Their synergy not only elevates damage potential but also ensures survival in the face of adversity. As Lilya charges toward her Ultimate, the team’s strategic maneuvers, bolstered by Sonetto and Tennant, lay the foundation for a formidable and resilient alliance.

• Balloon Party and Medicine Pocket contribute significantly to Eternity’s survivability, reducing incoming damage while providing crucial healing support.
