Top-class Shield Breaking Ability

King's Scythe of the Crow is known for its extremely high shield breaking ability. Its 12.5 Shatter value is ranked the highest among the other shield breaker characters, and can be very useful against shielded enemies in the open world and even World Bosses.

Superior Attack Range and Speed

The scythe excels in attack range and speed. Its fire element also adds extra damage that grants King an advantage against lone enemies or large groups.

Power Increases with Weapon Advancement

Scythe of the Crow's level 3 weapon advancement unlocks a passive ability that increases damage based on the number of enemies within a set range making clearing groups of enemies even quicker.

Overpower Enemies with Strength and Speed

Scythe of the Crow is this build's opener, using its powerful combos and high shatter rate to quickly deplete the shields of tougher enemies and World Bosses. Chakram of the Seas provides great utility with its cooldown reset when breaking shields, and is the weapon you'll want to switch constantly to when charge is sufficiently built up.

Switch to Venus when you need sustain, setting up electrodes that will provide passive healing and AOE damage even when you switch to your main attacking weapons.

PvE Advancement Priorities

King 1 Star: Get King to at least 1 Star Advancement to give Scythe of the Crow an addtional 15% Shatter and a 15 second DoT that deals 120% burn damage.

Nemesis 1 Star: Get Nemesis to ast least 1 Star Advancemet so that Venus drops Electrodes when using both Skill and Discharage attacks that grants 5 stacks healing chain stacks, and an AoE heal for 135% of ATK.

Shiro 3 Star: Get Shiro to at least 3 Star Advancement to increase elemental shattering within Full Bloom by 30% and grant the weapon an additional 15% Shatter and all weapon cooldowns reset after a succesful shield shatter.

Advancement Guide

SR Alternative Characters & Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Hilda	Hildas's The Terminator is a great alternative to Shiro's Chakram of the Seas since it allows you to use DPS Resonance and her Turret skill that deals 213.3% of ATK + 11 and launches enemies into the air offers an opening for King's scythe to deal the finishing blow.
Best Matrices

Pepper	Pepper's Staff of Scars is a good alternative to Nemesis' Venus. The staff provides raw healing Skill and Discharge. It also deals Volt damage and can apply the electrify debuff better thanks to many of its combos utilizing fully charged attacks.

Electrify and Paralyze Enemies with Lightning

Dual EM Star's high mobility and damage makes it a staple weapon for volt teams in PvP, especially when boosted by the passive Volt ATK buff from Nemesis' Venus. Start the match with Dual EM Stars, scouting your opponent's attacks with quick dodges and attacking them with fast combos.

Once you've built enough charge, quickly swap to Nemesis to drop electrodes that will provide passive healing and AOE damage and follow up paralysis ticks from your fully-charged attacks with the Magnetic Storm relic.

With another full charge, swap to Scythe of the Crow to chip away at shields and health with its high shatter and passive burn damage. The burn damage also reduces the target's healing efficacy by 50%, which makes it a great weapon to swap to when your opponnent is backed into a corner and playing defensively.

SR Alternative Characters & Weapons

Character / Weapon	Explanation
Echo	Echo's Thunderous Halberd is a great alternative to Samir's Dual EM Stars since it allows you to use DPS Resonance and its Thunderclap Discharge skill removes debuffs.
