Explanation
An Instant Before A Gaze is a Light Cone for Erudition characters who use their Ultimate frequently and use it as their main source of damage. The CRIT DMG and Ultimate DMG increase it provides based on Max Energy are great boosts for DPS characters like Argenti.
Is An Instant Before A Gaze Worth It?
Great For Argenti
An Instant Before A Gaze increases CRIT DMG and increases Ultimate DMG based on the wearer's Max Energy. This Light Cone is amazing for Argenti since his Ultimate has high multipliers and is his bread and butter.
This allows Argenti to have even more burst damage when using his Ultimate. Having this Light Cone also allows you to build more ATK on Argenti, which is easier to get on Relic sub-stats compared to CRIT DMG.
Should You Pull?
An Instant Before A Gaze is a good choice if you want to boost purely the DMG of a character. Compared to Before Dawn, this Light Cone provides more CRIT DMG and the Ultimate DMG increase can be used by any character who has a damaging Ultimate.
However, only characters who mainly use their Ultimate as their source of DMG can effectively use it. Characters like Jing Yuan or Himeko can still use this Light Cone, but since they use Follow-Up Attacks as their main source of DMG, this gives less value to them.
