Tactical Simulacra Rerun Event Guide

How to Play Tactical Simulacra

Choose Stage Buffs

Every Stage allows you to select one or two stage buffs that will be appropriate for your team and allow you to defeat all enemies within stages efficiently.

Assemble Your Team

Assemble your best team that corresponds to your chosen stage buff in order to maximize damage output, and consider the stage's suggested attribute when doing so. You may also use a variety of trial characters available to add to your team if you find yourself needing their aid.

Earn Points by Defeating Enemies

Points are tallied in Tactical Simulacra based on three components; Monster Points, Time Points, and Technical Points which are earned after performing a Perfect Dodge and Counterattack. In order to complete a stage, you must reach the minimum requirement of 1,000 points.

The biggest pull in terms of points would be defeating all enemies as fast as possible with time spared, while Technical Points serve as an added bonus depending on your performance.

Electro Team Composition

For a team with Rumble as its main buff, we recommend choosing Calcharo as Main DPS accompanied by Yinlin as a Sub-DPS to further enhance his Electro DMG dealt, then insert either Baizhi or Verina into the team as support for extra damage buffs.

Heavy Attack Damage Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jiyan	Mortefi	Baizhi

When choosing the Clobber buff for this stage, we recommend building your team with Jiyan as the Main DPS due to his frequent use of Heavy Attacks with Mortefi as his Sub-DPS to further increase Jiyan's Heavy Attack DMG dealt. You may also choose Baizhi as a suppport for her all-type DMG increase, or replace her with Verina if you have her available.

Spectro Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support

As the Refraction buff focuses on your team's Spectro DMG output, this composition is comprised of all Spectro characters to maximize this effect. Jinhsi will serve as the Main DPS with Rover (Spectro), and Verina will focus on contributing to her Incandesence stack.

Resonance Skill Damage Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jinhsi	Taoqi	Verina

In order to take advantage of this, Jinhsi will serve as the team's Main DPS, with Taoqi's help as Sub-DPS to further deepen Jinhsi's Resonance Skill DMG, and Verina as a support to add to Jinhsi's Incandesence stack. If Verina is unavailable, you are free to replace her with Baizhi.

Buff	Blaze + Motivation

Choosing Blaze will focus on your team's Fusion DMG output and pairing it with Motivation will put an emphasis on the support's healing capabilities. Having Changli as your Main DPS with Mortefi's assistance as Sub-DPS will create viable synergy to attain efficient Fusion DMG, while Baizhi's Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation will do well to increase your Main DPS' ATK as well as apply an all-type DMG buff.

Resonance Skill Damage Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jinhsi	Taoqi	Verina
Buff	Reverberance + Motivation

The buffs Reverberance and Motivation are optimal for a team with Jinhsi as its Main DPS as her Resonance Skill deals the most damage, with Taoqi further contributing to the damage output using her Outro Skill. Verina also serves as a great addition to the team as her Photosynthesis heals characters passively while also helping to stack Jinhsi's Incandesence.

You may choose to assemble your best team at your discretion as the buffs Confrontation and Immaculate are both dependent on the Dodge and Counterattack mechanics, although make sure to always have Zeal present on your active buffs as it enhances your team's ATK.

As for assembling a team based off of the presented trial characters, we recommend setting Encore as the team's Main DPS with Changli and Verina serving to buff her skills. Alternatively, You may choose to switch Changli's role to the team's Main DPS and employing the help of Sanhua as Sub-DPS, as Changli's kit allows her to be flexible.

Assemble the team with Calcharo as the Main DPS accompanied by Yinlin who will enhance his Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG dealt with her Outro Skill. Verina will serve as the team's support by providing an All-type DMG bonus and heal passively.

Aero Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jiyan	Jianxin	Verina
Buff	Breeze + Harmony

Alternatively, you may also assemble an Aero-based team to take advantage of the Breeze buff which is best paired with the Harmony buff due to its Resonance Liberation-based ATK enhancement.

Jiyan will serve as the team's Main DPS with Jianxin's assistance as a Sub-DPS, her Outro Skill significantly buffing your Main DPS' Resonance Liberation DMG. Verina will be providing additional support by further enhancing the team's All-type DMG and providing healing.

You may also choose to swap Jianxin out for Mortefi as the team's Sub-DPS if you have him available, as his Outro Skill maximizes Jiyan's Heavy Attack DMG and provides supplementary damage with his Coordinated Attacks.

Stage 5: Crownless

Suggested Attribute

In stage 6, you will have to hack through a wave of 8 bosses; Crownless, Thundering Mephis, Impermanence Heron, Mech Abomination, Tempest Mephis, Lampylumen Myriad, Feilian Beringal, and Mourning Aix.

Spectro Team Composition

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jinhsi	Yinlin	Verina
Buff	Refraction + Accompaniment or Refraction + Reverberance or Refraction + Harmony

As this stage's recommended attribute is Spectro, it is best to always have the Refraction buff active and pair it with a secondary buff that fits your team composition. For this, the best option would be the Accompaniment buff that significantly enhances the ATK of your entire team through the use of Resonance Skills which becomes maximized with Jinhsi in the team.

Jinhsi will act as the Main DPS of the team, her Resonance Skill variation generating stacks with the Accompaniment buff.

Yinlin will provide support as a Sub-DPS through coordinated attacks, stacking Jinhsi's Incandescence in the process, while Verina's role is similar to Yinlin's with her coordinated attacks, though her maximum output would be delegated to healing and providing All-type DMG buff for the team.
