Rhythm Skill Priority

Skill Priority Explanation
Volt Rush ★★★★ Upgrading Volt Rush simply increases the damage, which is important for a DPS.
Electro Vortex ★★★★★ Most of Rhythm's damage comes from Electro Vortex, so prioritize maxing this skill.
Tactical Preservation ★★★★★ Upgrading Tactical Preservation increases the Sanity to Electric Energy consumption.

Rhythm DMG Skills

Skill Effects
Volt Rush
Rhythm leaps forward, dealing Electro Damage to enemies along the path. When the Electic Energy point is no less than 30, consumes 30 points to increase the leap speed and Volt Rush's damage, and grants an effect that increases the damage dealt by Rhythm.

Rhythm Buff Skills

Skill Effects
Electro Vortex
Deals Electro Damage to enemies within range and enters Electro Surge state, during which it continuously consumes Sanity.
Electro Surge state ends when Sanity drops to 0 or when the skill is used again.
Electo Surge:
Increases Movement Speed for self and allies. Every second, deals Electro Damage to 1 random enemy in range, alternating between [Positive Charge] and [Negative Charge]. Prioritizes enemies with no [Electric Charge].
Electric Charge:
Target with [Positive Charge] selects 1 random target with [Negative Charge] within range every 3s, both being pulled towards the midpoint between their positions and taking Electro Damage. If no [Negative Charge] targets are around, selects 1 random target to take Electro Damage together.
When a target with [Electric Charge] is inflicted with the same charge type again, the duration of the [Electric Charge] on them is refreshed, and they cannot be applied with the opposite [Electric Charge] type.

Rhythm Passive Skills

Skill Effects

How to Play Rhythm

Use Volt Rush for Mobility

Volt Rush can be used to cover long distances while dealing Electro damage to enemies near Rhythm. Use this as either an escape tool when surrounded or for exploring the world!

Do note that you can cancel the skill mid-animation by jumping or dodging.

Deal Periodic DMG with Ultimate

Rhythm's Ultimate lets her do two things. First, she deals big Electro DMG instantaneously with Electro Vortex. Then, she enters the Electro Surge state that lets her become faster and deal periodic Electro DMG with Electro Surge, which also affects objects such as ores.

When Electro Surge is active, she randomly applies Positive and Negative Charges on to enemies, which then merge to explode and deal damage. Note that she can still move and deal damage on her own, so use your weapons while zapping enemies in the field!

Upgrade Passives for Efficient Sanity Usage

Rhythm's passives, Tactical Preservation, and Poweroff Anxiety, work hand-in-hand, since it helps her alternate between using Sanity and Electric Energy as a resource.

When she consumes Sanity, she gets Electric Energy. Meanwhile, when she uses Electric Energy, she recovers some Sanity. Make sure to upgrade her passive skills to utilize this effect and have her skills be available more often.

Increase ATK of Electro Allies

Rhythm Combat Partner Passive

Rhythm's Combat Partner effect allows her to increase the ATK of Electro allies and herself. You need her as a Combat Partner to get this buff.

Her best rifle stacks WEAPON damage not SKILL damage

Rhythm is somewhat undervalued because she’s currently obtainable only by clearing bosses. Once Rhythm reaches L2, she becomes the best farming character, surpassing Rebecca. (However, the player must control her manually and activate her ultimate from the right position.)
