Is Trailblazer (Imaginary) Worth Building?

Trailblazer (Imaginary) is a free-to-play Support that specializes in Break Effect buffs. Their Ultimate can have allies deal Super Break DMG to Weakness Broken enemies.

If you have units that scale on the Break Effect stat, we recommend building the Imaginary Trailblazer.

HP% ★★

The Imaginary Trailblazer should be built with a lot of Break Effect since most of their DMG comes from attacking Weakness Broken enemies.

This becomes especially great when the Imaginary Trailblazer has their 4th Eidolon unlocked since it allows them to increase the party's Break Effect based on their own Break Effect.

It's also important for them to have at least 145 SPD to activate the effect from the Talia: Kingdom of Banditry set.

The Imaginary Trailblazer works best with characters who rely on the Break Effect stat. A DPS with a high Break Effect stat like Firefly can take advantage of dealing a lot of Super Break DMG if the enemy is Weakness Broken.

Ruan Mei can increase the party's Break Effect and Break Efficiency. She can also delay an enemy's recovery from Break, allowing the team to have more chances of dealing Super Break DMG.
