Explanation

Geniuses' Repose provides decent base stats and buffs the wearer's ATK. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases for 3 turns.

Geniuses' Repose has quite a flexible ability since all Erudition will benefit from an ATK and CRIT DMG boost. However, triggering the CRIT DMG increase will be hard during boss fights due to how tanky most elite enemies are. Geniuses' Repose is only viable when used against mobs in the overworld or Calyxes!

Is Geniuses' Repose Worth It?

Good for all Erudition Characters

If you pulled Geniuses' Repose, we recommend upgrading it only if you're using Erudition characters most of the time and need more Light Cones to use.
