Story

TitleText
n/aA Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection. A mysterious and elegant soothsayer.
She often wears a warm smile and is willing to patiently listen to the words of others, thus using such means as a pretext to enter "memories" and gain omniscience over certain matters.
A lady passionate about collecting unique memories, yet the thoughts that guide her are hard to glean.
n/a"She's quite an unusual kid, and I could sense it from the day she was born. It felt like nature itself was celebrating her arrival: The birds chirped, the moon and sun were together in the sky. The cards in my hand seemed to hint at the emergence of a soul steeped in nostalgia. Right from her early years, she had a fascination with stories from the past. She would delve deep into contemplating our origins, our creators, and even the very beginning of the world. Her questions would leave even the most erudite scholars scratching their heads. Sure, some other kids might poke fun at her for asking such deep questions, but aren't those questions important? Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions."
— A mother's memories

Afflicted with amnesia, her mother struggled with forgetfulness, making it difficult for her to recognize her family or recall recent events.
Clutching the diagnosis of amnesia, she held her mother tightly, attempting to read aloud from the latter's diary. Her mother was physically present, but where was she in the realm of consciousness?

She stayed by her mother's side until the end of her life, realizing that her mother had been fading away as her memories became fragmented. If her own memories of her mother were to ever become blurred as well, her mother would completely slip away from her.

"Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions." For the first time, she comprehended the profound meaning behind these words.

* Unlocked at Character Level 20
n/a"I arrived on this planet as an explorer. My usual tasks involved observing the flow of rivers, examining the materials of the city's bricks and tiles, analyzing the steepness of roads, and documenting the number and distribution of chimneys... These duties aligned with people's imagination of preserving a planet's 'memories.'"

— However, such efforts were far from sufficient.

Once I started working in secrecy, I would often come across that girl. Sometimes, sunlight would dance through the leaves as she walked beneath them, disappearing around corners once the street lamps illuminated the surroundings. On other occasions, her gaze would follow a carrier pigeon, which left the High Priest's quarters every Wednesday night, only to return the following morning to the palace's chief of the guards — a known political adversary of the High Priest. Occasionally, she would quietly observe rain trickling into sewers scarred by artillery fired from the opposite shore. And sometimes, waves would dampen her skirts, while an elderly woman washing clothes by the river recounted the story of the previous sovereign and his five illegitimate children.

— Few individuals, apart from us, understand that a planet conceals and safeguards its "memories" in such a manner.

I trailed behind her until we reached a rock on the moor. I knew that it was the time to invite her.

"What do you see?" I asked, in a form visible to her.
She pointed at a patch of weeds and the lingering traces.
"I see a stone, perhaps once part of a fireplace... But it must hold more significance."
I nodded and assisted her in removing the weeds and dirt from the crevices of the stone.
"It was once a monument," she murmured, gently caressing the engravings adorning its surface.
"Indeed, but the 'memory' holds more significance."

Thus, I revealed to her that the stone on the moor had once served as a fireplace, a monument before that, a flowerbed, and even an altar... And before all that, it had simply been a stone on the moor.

"What price would I pay if I want to witness those 'memories'?"
"People will remain oblivious to your presence unless you are willing to reveal yourself."
"Just as people fail to acknowledge the existence of black swans until they encounter one?"
"Yes, just like that."


— An {RUBY_B#Memokeeper}Explorer's{RUBY_E#} memories

Memokeepers travel to numerous planets, collecting the memories of each city they encounter. They are careful not to leave any trace of their presence, ensuring that nobody remembers them, unless they come across someone with the potential to become a Memokeeper, whom they then take away from the city into the vast expanse of the stars.

* Unlocked at Character Level 40
n/aMany individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences. However, she is different... I've sensed her unwavering determination and profound respect for memories themselves. Following tradition, I asked her three questions before making her a Memokeeper.

"Will you dedicate your whole life to the collection of memories?"
"I will."
"Will you relinquish your physical form and embrace the transformation of self?"
"I will."
"If one day you cease to exist, what legacy will you leave behind for the world?"
"My memories. They hold seeds from the past, destined for rebirth into the future."

Memories come in various forms. Some are trivial and heartwarming, while others are grand and expansive. Some are gentle and meek, while others are wild and untamed... When she became a Memokeeper, her memories became tranquil and serene, like the calm waves that finally found their destined harbor.

— A Memokeeper's memories

"What comes to your mind?" The Memokeeper asked.
As she opened her eyes, fragments of memories swirled around her.
"People tend to believe they are facing the present and the future, yet fail to realize that we are all, in fact, moving toward the past."

"A sorrowful memory from ██. This opulent memory, adorned with ostentation and longing, conceals an unknown sadness that will linger for years, influencing its owner for an extended period."
"A joyous memory from ██. This dramatic memory is filled with vibrant hues of joy, confusion, and humor, but it can hardly be called true happiness. Such is the future it portrays."
"A regrettable memory from ██. The fleeting happiness in this memory is beautiful yet short-lived, like a shooting spark from faded ashes. Cherish your limited moment, dear guest, for it informs me that it shall soon vanish."
"A vague memory from ██. This memory is faint, chaotic, and disorienting, akin to an endless downpour with no respite in sight. I yearn to capture the future it points to, whether it be filled with rain or sunshine..."

— Black Swan's memories

"I saw the figure of a woman, gracefully leaping and transforming amidst images and patterns. No... I'm not crazy, I did indeed see 'her.' I remember her voice, its velvety texture, and the colorful cards in her hands, imbued with some sort of magic... Oh, and she invited me to partake in fortune-telling. She said, 'Whether you want to foresee happiness or misfortune in the future, retrieve lost possessions, or seek unexpected gains... All I need is an honest story, for the past and the future are overlapped on the same point of a single circle.' My head spun, and she exuded such gentleness. I talked so much to her, and she patiently listened to my ramblings... And then, following her divination results, I retrieved a lost mirror for a guest of the hotel! Oh, you asked what I said to her? Oh, nothing important... Just some rumors about the past..."
— A native Penacony resident's memories

Currently, she journeys through various realms as a diviner, uncovering memories intertwined with her Path and Aeons. She believes that those memories are as enduring as gems, impervious to the eroding forces of oblivion.

"Numerous Memokeepers have ventured to Penacony, only to discover it as a mere illusory mirage dancing upon the water's surface."
"However, dreams... They represent a distorted form of memories. I shall delve into its depths and catch a fleeting glimpse of the buried memories before those Memosnatchers and Cremators arrive."

  1. Recieve dot is the condition so triple dot? Kafka BS is possible but you have to manage BS ult to preserve Sacrament while increasing stacks everytime Kafka Ults and Triggers talent. Kafka follow-up (1), Kafka Ult (2), BS Skill (4), BS ult (4), Kafka Talent refresh (5), BS Skill (7). seems pretty strict, sampo and guinafen seem to be best for her.

    • If you were talking about A4, “receive DoT” is when enemies “take” DoT damage. You can see that wording used in the SU Nihi stuff. Inflict/apply is, of course when the DoT is applied.

    • Just to Specify.
      Funeral of Sensory Pursuivant enhanced uses the wording;
      “Every time an enemy recieves DoT, apply 1 stack(s) of Suspicion.”
      the non enhanced version of the blessing says:
      “takes DMG from a DoT.”
      it’s explcitly refering to taking damage
      meanwhile,
      The Man in the Cover:
      “Every time an enemy is afflicted with a DoT, apply 3 stack(s) of Suspicion”

    • BS seems to be a bomb type dot with spread in mind but also single target. If you can go BS E6, then go for it. BS is strong enough at E6 as most characters Limiteds are.
      BS eidolons cover almost everything
      – E1 for non weak enemies
      – E2 for spread/snowball of sacrament
      – E4 for energy kind-off and continuity throughout the fight
      – E6 just guarantees 7+ stacks (depending on the team its probably 12+ on optimized teams)

      E0S1 for Kafka pretty much gives her 3 initial turns on 1st cycle (160 speed for 3 turns) and 2-3 per cycle on MoC
      E1S1 for BlackSwan is cheaper and weaker but S1 has great value with def pierce and E1 with res pen which is another independent part of the dmg formula.

      E6S1 is super expensive as compared to your second choice, but definitely the more powerful choice.

  3. look like she’s more versatile in terms of team comps. as long as the unit can inflict DoT. So units like asta, himeko and serval is a good units for her. Their dot multipliers may be low but in return it will increase the stacks of sacrament. so youre having a hypercarry unit, a strong dot enabler with aoe def down altogether.

    • Almost certainly 4pc Prisoner and 2pc Pan-Cosmic.

      4pc Prisoner: You’ll ideally want to run her with other DoT characters to reach 7 Sacrament stacks, and the 18% DEF ignore (from Sacrament + 2 more DoTs) synergizes very well with her kit’s DEF shred (from skill) and ignore (from 7 stacks).

      2pc Pan-Cosmic: You’d already want EHR to get more Sacrament stacks, and her A6 only makes that more important. Getting extra ATK% from your EHR is perfect for someone who damages through DoTs.

    • she is definetly not only good for kafka lol, I would say black swan is actually more universal than all of the characters you just mentioned. Black swan literally can decrease defense with her skill and her ult make the enemy take more damage, she is not limited to dots like sampo, luka, guinaifen. I’m pretty sure black swan can even replace kafka in a dot team because of her synergy with bleed, wind sheer and burn, but probably want to invest in a bit more damage for her.

    • Yeah but the difference is that we have no 5 star DOT characters, plus I don’t feel that she is “tailor made” for Kafka. You could run her with any DPS and a supporting harmony for some extra damage on the side. Is she gonna be as good as Pela when it come to def shred or provide sustaining benefits like Welt, nah, but i think we’re getting the best of both worlds here with practical DOT damage and def reduction. . .

    • Its not just for kafka, its for any DoT characters. But i get what you mean. SW,Welt and Pela have a stat decreasing debuff whereas BS have DoT debuff. Been sometime we had a stat decreasing Nihility.

      Im guessing its more to popularity since ppl love to do dmg and get chars that support their dmg dealing mains. Also, i just noticed so far only Silver Wolf have a specialized stat decreasing kit, no other characters have similar kit like hers yet.

    • You don’t need Kafka to use her, you can also use her as a main dps like Kafka.
      In fact it seems she has a bit of anti-synergy with Kafka since BS’s dot bonus effect only happens at the START of opponent’s turn, so Kafka’s detonate can’t activate it.
      And depending on whether dot deals damage before sacrament or not and if Kafka detonates sacrament dot, then sacrament stack may reset before opponent’s turn and you can’t get the bonus effect. (I assume dots deals damage first, then sacrament activates)

    • That’s because you assume that she is Kafka support, when she seems to be DoT main dps.
      I swear Mihoyo can no longer create a DoT character without people automatically thinking that it’s Kafka support.

    • you miss the fact that the 3 you mentioned is an exclusive with a very unique weakness implant, a 4star, and a standard. against all 4star. which the former can be used on any team. while the latter is very limited to kafka team. and seeing black swan kit. no shes not limited to kafka team. especially she has def aoe shred just on her skill. equip her with 4star cone that has def shred on it. and enemies will always have that 2 def down debuffs. even with no kafka, gui or luka. you can put any that can inflict dot. like asta, himeko, serval, etc,. just so you can increase all those sacraments stacks for big damage on enemies turn.

    • DoT is just an archetype that exists, Kafka is made for the archetype the archetype is not made for Kafka
      If Acheron’s leaked kit is anything to go off we’ll get plenty more debuff focused nihilities as well as DoTers

    • No, this is stupid. Stop pretending to have opinions about things, you’re bad at it. You have it backwards. Kafka is tailor made for every DoT character. The only way for this to not be true would be for them to literally release a better Kafka.

    • This is going to sound stupid but I think it is based on typing with wind, fire, physical and lightning dealing with damage over time and ice, imaginary and quantum dealing with other debuffs such as slow and def down. I saw this video on the nihility identity crisis and it made no sense so here I am with this hypothesis.

    • I remember you. That dude who tried to convince everyone that Fu Xuan’s ability only works 2 times per fight.
      Stop showing your ignorance and pretending that you understand at least a little how the characters of this game work – literally everything you said was a mistake and had nothing to do with reality and this case is no exception.
