Overview
Himeko is a 5★ Fire Erudition from Herta Space Station, playing Main DPS in most teams. Fire Erudition AoE DPS who gains bonus turns when enemies are Weakness Broken.
How to Play
Himeko clears waves through AoE. Spread debuffs or Breaks across all targets, then detonate with Skill and Ultimate on the largest cluster. Apply effects to the full wave first, then funnel damage through AoE bursts. Lead with Weakness Break, then convert Break damage into your carry window.
Optimal Rotation
Turn 1: Himeko Ultimate on the full wave → Skill on the largest cluster → Basic Attacks until Ultimate returns. In MoC, Break side targets first so AoE passives trigger.
Strengths
Himeko excels in Fire Erudition teams from Herta Space Station. High personal damage when relics and Light Cone are online. Signature Light Cone and endgame relics unlock their full ceiling.
Weaknesses
Himeko is weaker on pure single-target boss floors unless adds spawn mid-fight. Bosses with no waves reduce AoE value.
Investment Priority
E0 Himeko clears story and Simulated Universe. For Memory of Chaos, level talents to at least 6/8/8, farm recommended relics from their build page, and hit Speed breakpoints with SPD boots. Pull or craft a matching-path 5★ cone if they are a long-term main; otherwise use the best F2P path option at S5.
