Unleashing Eula’s Fury: A Comprehensive Guide to Maximizing Her Damage

Eula Lawrence, the Spindrift Knight, is a formidable physical damage dealer in Genshin Impact, capable of dishing out some of the highest single-hit damage numbers in the game. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of her mechanics, team compositions, and equipment. The key to maximizing Eula’s damage lies in optimizing her Lightfall Sword stacks and supporting her physical damage output. This involves executing the correct attack sequence, building a synergistic team, and equipping her with the best possible artifacts and weapon. Let’s delve into the specifics.

Optimizing Eula’s Lightfall Sword

Eula’s Elemental Burst, Glacial Illumination, summons a Lightfall Sword that accumulates energy stacks based on Normal Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts used during its duration. Once the Burst ends, the Lightfall Sword explodes, dealing massive Physical DMG. Maximizing these stacks is crucial.

The Optimal Attack Sequence

While individual player preferences may vary, the generally accepted optimal sequence for stacking is as follows:

1. Tap Skill (Icetide Vortex): This applies Cryo and generates a Grimheart stack.
2. Elemental Burst (Glacial Illumination): Summons the Lightfall Sword.
3. Four Normal Attacks: This quickly builds initial stacks. Some players prefer doing five attacks.
4. Hold Skill (Icetide Vortex): Consumes Grimheart stacks for Physical and Cryo RES reduction on enemies. Note that the Hold Skill is best used when having 2 Grimheart stacks to maximize the RES reduction and damage increase.
5. Four Normal Attacks: Continue building stacks.
6. Optional: Depending on the timer on her Lightfall sword you may squeeze in 1-2 more normal attacks, or an Elemental Skill from a teammate.

The goal is to weave in as many attacks and skill uses as possible within the 7-second Burst duration. Practice is key to mastering the timing. Some people even will sprint cancel to decrease the overall time of each attack in order to get extra stacks.

Building the Ideal Team Composition

Eula thrives in teams that can support her Physical DMG and Energy Recharge. Synergistic team members significantly boost her damage output.

Key Support Characters

• Raiden Shogun: Provides consistent Superconduct application (reducing Physical RES) and solves Eula’s Energy Recharge problems. Her Elemental Skill’s coordinated attacks ensure consistent Superconduct procs.
• Mika: Offers ATK SPD buffs, Physical DMG Bonus, and healing, all of which directly benefit Eula’s Burst damage. His buffs synergize perfectly with the Lightfall Sword mechanic.
• Yun Jin: Provides a substantial Normal Attack DMG Bonus based on her DEF, further amplifying Eula’s Normal Attacks during her Burst. Ensure Yun Jin has high DEF.
• Rosaria: Offers a Crit Rate buff to the team and can apply Cryo for Superconduct. Her Elemental Burst also provides Physical RES reduction at C6.
• Fischl/Beidou: Sub-DPS options that provide off-field Electro application for Superconduct.

Team Examples

• Eula/Raiden Shogun/Mika/Rosaria: A highly effective team focusing on Physical DMG amplification and Energy Recharge.
• Eula/Raiden Shogun/Yun Jin/Bennett: If survivability isn’t a concern, Bennett’s ATK buff can significantly boost Eula’s damage, though it requires staying within his Burst circle.

Optimizing Eula’s Equipment

The right weapon and artifacts are crucial for maximizing Eula’s potential.

Best Weapons

• Song of Broken Pines: Eula’s signature weapon, providing a significant Physical DMG Bonus and ATK SPD buff.
• Wolf’s Gravestone: A strong alternative, offering a substantial ATK boost for the entire team.
• The Unforged: While strong, its effectiveness is dependent on shield uptime.
• Serpent Spine: A powerful 4-star option that provides Crit Rate and DMG Bonus.
• Snow-Tombed Starsilver: A viable F2P option, providing Physical DMG Bonus.
• Prototype Archaic: A solid F2P alternative if Snow-Tombed Starsilver is unavailable.

Artifact Sets

• 4-Piece Pale Flame: The best in slot artifact for Eula. Provides Physical DMG Bonus and ATK bonus stacks.
• 2-Piece Pale Flame + 2-Piece Bloodstained Chivalry: A good alternative if you have better substats on these pieces.
• Artifact Stats: Focus on ATK%/Physical DMG Bonus/Crit Rate or Crit DMG. Substats should prioritize Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK%, and Energy Recharge.

Important Considerations

• Crit Rate and Crit DMG: Aim for a 70% Crit Rate or higher to ensure consistent critical hits. Balance Crit Rate and Crit DMG for optimal damage output.
• Energy Recharge: Ensure Eula has sufficient Energy Recharge to consistently use her Burst. Raiden Shogun and Energy Recharge substats can help with this.
