Is Cipher Worth Pulling?
Cipher is an extremely fast Sub-DPS that can frequently attack with Follow-ups and deal a lot of damage with her Ultimate when tallied up. She can also increase the DMG received by enemies when she's on the field.
Cipher serves as an upgrade for Acheron, Feixiao, and Dr. Ratio teams since she can provide debuffs and unleash a lot of Follow-up attacks.
While great to have, Cipher is not a must-pull if you already have strong Sub-DPS units like Jiaoqiu or Topaz for your Acheron or Feixiao teams. If you don't have those units, then Cipher is very well worth pulling for!
Should I Get Cipher's Light Cone?
Lies Dance of the Breeze is a quality of life Light Cone for Cipher since it can increase her SPD and inflict a repeatable DEF shred. This Light Cone makes her a better unit for Acheron teams since she'll have the ability to increase Slashed Dream stacks at a faster rate.
While Lies Dance of the Breeze can be a notable upgrade for Cipher, you can choose to skip this Light Cone and instead go for Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat.

Cipher is best built as a Sub-DPS with SPD and CRIT stats. Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters will generally be her best Relic since she can implant her own debuffs and her best teams have debuffers in their kit.
Since Cipher should be built with a high SPD stat, Firmament Frontline: Glamoth is going to be her best ornament thanks to the DMG buff it provides at 160 SPD.
Do note that Cipher gets 50% CRIT Rate from her Empyrean Strides Bonus Ability, so prioritize a CRIT DMG Body for an optimal build.

Cipher can also be built as an insanely fast debuffer that relies on her Ultimate to have earlier turns through the Eagle of Twilight Line relic and implant debuffs with the Resolutions Shine as Pearls of Sweat.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas is her best Ornament as a frequent debuffer since it provides Energy Regen for Cipher's Ultimate and gives ATK to the Main DPS.
This build is great on teams that want debuffs like Acheron or Dr. Ratio.
How Much Effect Hit Rate Does Cipher Need?
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Effect Hit Rate | 38% or 67% (if Cipher uses Resolution LC) |
As for Effect Hit Rate, 38% EHR should be enough to guarantee the debuff application from Cipher's Skill.
If Cipher uses the Resolution Shine as Pearls of Sweat, you can reach 67% EHR to ensure the Light Cone's DEF shred.
Other Recommended Stats
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| SPD | 170 or above |
| CRIT Rate | 40-45% outside of combat |
| CRIT DMG | 150% or above outside of combat |
Cipher will need at least 170 SPD to activate her Empyrean Strides Bonus Ability. This ability increases Cipher's CRIT Rate by 50% and gives her more tally gains for her Talent. You can also reach a SPD higher than 170 as long as it hits a SPD breakpoint.
Cipher already has 50% added CRIT Rate from her Bonus Ability, so getting 40-45% CRIT Rate should be enough to unleash consistent critical hits. As for CRIT DMG, try to get 150% or above to deal optimal damage.
Cipher's Best Teams
Cipher F2P Team (Free to Play)
| DPS | DPS | Support | Healer |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Cipher
|
Any DPS |
 Asta
|
 Lynx
|
For a free-to-play team, you can use any DPS with Cipher provided that they benefit from her debuffs. As for other units, Asta is a great F2P Support for Cipher since she can buff her SPD, which Cipher needs.
Cipher Acheron Team
| DPS | DPS | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Cipher
|
 Acheron
|
 Jiaoqiu
|
 Aventurine
|
Cipher can do great in an Acheron team as both a Sub-DPS and a speedy debuffer that can help buildup Slashed Dream. With E0 Acheron, you will need another Nihility character to unlock the full damage buff.
If Acheron is at E2, you can use a Harmony unit since she only needs one Nihility unit to activate the damage buff fully.
| Alternative | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Silver Wolf | Support Replacement Silver Wolf is best used against fewer Elite enemies and can be SP-friendly. |
 Pela | Support Replacement Pela is a 4-star Nihility unit who can provide DEF shred with her Ultimate. |
 Sunday | Support Replacement Best used if Acheron is E2. While the energy restoration is negligible, Acheron can benefit from the CRIT buffs. |
 Tribbie | Support Replacement Best used if Acheron is E2. Tribbie can buff both Cipher and Acheron and help deal more damage to Elite enemies. |
 Sparkle | Support Replacement Best used if Acheron is E2. Sparkle can provide a DMG boost and more Skill Points for Acheron. |
 Guinaifen | Support Replacement Guinaifen is a 4-star Nihility unit who can provide debuffs with Burn DoTs and Firekiss. |
 Permansor Terrae | Sustain Replacement Permansor Terrae can be used as both a shielder and an ATK buffer to the Main DPS. |
 Gallagher | Sustain Replacement Gallagher is a healer that can provide debuffs with his Ultimate and Enhanced Basic Attack. |
| Anyone from Abundance or Preservation | Sustain Replacement Anyone who can keep you alive will work fine. |
Cipher Follow-Up ATK Team
| DPS | DPS | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Cipher
|
 Feixiao
|
 Robin
|
Aventurine
|
As a Follow-Up attacker, Cipher can be an excellent Sub-DPS to Feixiao or Dr. Ratio thanks to her frequent attacks and debuffs. Ideally, you'd want units that can provide debuffs to have the Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters at full uptime.
| Alternative | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Dr. Ratio | DPS Replacement Dr. Ratio benefits from Cipher's debuffs and her Follow-up attacks. The more debuffs an enemy has, the more likely Dr. Ratio can unleash a Follow-up attack. |
 Cyrene | Support Replacement Cyrene can be used with Cipher if the team consists mostly of Chrysos Heir characters from Amphoreus. |
| Tribbie | Support Replacement Tribbie can be used with Feixiao since her Follow-up attacks can help stack Flying Aureus. |
| Jiaoqiu | Support Replacement Jiaoqiu increases Ultimate DMG and DMG taken by enemies, which can greatly increase Feixiao's overall damage. |
 Ruan Mei | Support Replacement Ruan Mei provides a lot of offensive buffs and extends enemies' Weakness Broken state through her Ultimate. |
| Pela | Support Replacement Pela reduces the DEF of enemies with her Ultimate which allows Feixiao to deal more damage against them. |
| Permansor Terrae | Sustain Replacement Permansor Terrae can be used as both a shielder and an ATK buffer to the Main DPS. |
 Hyacine | Sustain Replacement Hyacine can attack frequently with Little Ica and provide party-wide healing. |
| Anyone from Abundance or Preservation | Sustain Replacement Anyone who can keep Feixiao and the team will work fine except Huohuo since Feixiao can't benefit from the Energy Regen. |
Cipher Quantum Team
| DPS | DPS | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Cipher
|
 Archer
|
Sparkle
|
Permansor Terrae
|
Cipher can also work as a Sub-DPS to Archer. Cipher can simply use her Basic Attacks to generate Skill Points that Archer can use.
Sparkle provides Skill Point generation to the party and Permansor Terrae can increase Archer's ATK with his shield.
| Alternative | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Sunday | Support Replacement Sunday can be used as another alternative to Sparkle since he can provide Energy and turn-advance. |
| Aventurine | Sustain Replacement Aventurine can provide shields and increase Follow-up ATK DMG. |
Cipher's Best Relics and Ornaments
All Recommended Relics and Ornaments
| Relics | Rating & Merits |

 Eagle of Twilight Line

 Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm
|
★★★★☆ - 2nd Best Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm can be considered for more CRIT Rate if Cipher is used in Acheron teams. |

| Ultimate | ★★★★★ - Highest Priority Combined with the True DMG multiplier, Cipher's Ultimate can deal high damage. |
