All WuWa Cartethyia Resonance Chain Effects
Sequence Node 1 – Crown Destined by Fate
Killing enemies with skills stores Aero Erosion stacks and transfers them to the next target. Fleurdelys gains 25% Crit DMG for every 30 Conviction, up to 4 stacks. A 15.8% single Mid-air DPS boost, this is good for rotation but not a top priority.
Sequence Node 2 – Blade Broken by Tempest
Increases Aero Erosion stack limit by 3. Your next attack applies 3 stacks and triggers damage without consuming them. Boosts Cartethyia's damage and lowers cooldowns, with her Mid-air Attack multiplier increased by 200%. It gives a 45.2% DPS increase for double Mid-air strategies. This is the most impactful pull after S6.
Sequence Node 3 – Prisoner Hanged in the Tower
Fleurdelys attacks apply 2 Aero Erosion stacks. Boosts Blade of Howling Squall’s multiplier by 100%. Useful for continuous erosion build-up and ultimate burst damage.
Sequence Node 4 – Sacrifice Made for Salvation
When any team member applies a debuff like Aero Erosion, everyone gains a 20% damage bonus to all attributes for 20s. This is a solid utility upgrade but not necessary for pure damage builds.
Sequence Node 5 – Hope Reshaped in Storms
Provides survivability by giving a shield instead of death, plus reduces the HP cost of Cartethyia’s Resonance Liberation. Great for survivability, but it doesn’t improve damage.
Sequence Node 6 – Freedom Found in Storm’s Wake
This is the best DPS upgrade. Fleurdelys gets 40% bonus damage, and using her Resonance Liberation maxes Aero Erosion stacks without consuming them. It also allows other allies to trigger bonus Aero Erosion damage if applied within 30 seconds. This RC node alone gives a huge leap in performance.
Best Resonance Chains to Pull
If you’re a light spender or saving pulls, prioritize unlocking:
- S2 (Sequence 2) – Offers the biggest immediate DPS boost.
- S6 (Sequence 6) – Best long-term upgrade for synergy and burst damage.
- S3 (Sequence 3) – Ideal if you don’t have Ciaccona and want erosion consistency.
Avoid pulling S4 and S5 unless you're aiming for a full resonance chain or value support/survival features.
Final Thoughts
Cartethyia Resonance Chain dramatically boosts her role as an Aero DPS. Sequence 2 and 6 are the best investments if you want higher damage and more efficient Aero Erosion builds. Just keep in mind, each pull costs premium currency and might not guarantee what you want right away.
