Story
Planar Sphere
The beginning of ancient foxian and borisin ballads all nostalgically sing of the "Planet of Verdantia" and its fertile soil and pleasant climate. However, upon closer inspection, the perceptive ones will realize such words are mere preludes to the eternal theme of "war." With their talents for agriculture and commerce, some fox clans built prosperous towns next to flowing rivers. Meanwhile, the children of wolves roamed with their herd under the aurora-covered sky within the lush grasslands, forming settlements that dotted the landscape. The merchants laughed at the herders for the latter's savagery, while the herders despised the merchants for their deception. However, they both must confront the cruel torments of nature — the "Vulpesummer" and "Lupuswinter." In the summer of rich harvests blessed by the fox deity, the two clans put down their arms and ceased warfare in mutual satisfaction. But once the wolf deity lets fall the white frost, the snowlines would spread from the poles and hunger shall drive the two clans to unceasing conflict. The ballads mention that the Lupuswinter once stayed far beyond its due, even after the sun of Verdantia had circled the planet thirty-three times. Poverty and hunger crashed the people, and they resorted to even eating animals they once worshipped as totems. After foreseeing the end where the entire world shall be covered in bleak death, a savior climbed to the peak of the tallest mountain in that world — The foxian legends called her "Tushan," but the borisin sagas called him "Duran." No matter what this savior was called, they made a wish to the Master of Immortality, hoping for sustenance enough to keep the world's people alive. Then, the mountains split, and sweet divine nectar of Redspring poured out from the hilly ravines. Those who drank from the Redspring obtained power, dexterity, and strength from the beast meat they devoured. Their blood, too, stirred with the ferocity of animals, and their bodily forms became increasingly bestial — Thus was this world changed, never to return to its former days. With the Redspring as the medium, everything that the reborn canine races needed was made from this miraculous source — The fields no longer grew grain but viscorpi instead, and the garments that covered people's bodies were no longer of linen but of embryonic flesh. Even the chilly snowlands that once terrified the Verdantia civilizations were no longer a concern, for the canine races cultivated biological membranes in the polar regions to craft into warm dome-shaped tents, blocking the impoverished Lupuswinter beyond this barrier. Then, things changed in the Planet of Verdantia, just like how things changed for every short-life species that became long-life — There was population explosion, ecological collapse, internal warfare... And no matter how hard the canine races prayed to the Master of Immortality, they never heard another reply. Then, the people understood the truth: Everything that the Master of Immortality could give had been given, and if the people wished to have better lives, they must take more by themselves. Gathered around Duran the great Brood Lord, the canine races cast their sight into the sky where the Master of Immortality dwelled. The stars sparkled like a grassland waiting to be conquered with fast steads, and they will bring the "Lupuswinter" to the civilizations on those planets. Much later, their sworn enemies dubbed them "borisin," for it signified "wolf" in the vernacular of Verdantia. |

In the borisin language, the bridle was also called assa-chita, meaning "the living book." When the dual rising moons meet, and the night sky is at its brightest, the voodoo masters of the hunting tribe gift bridles to the children of Duran to symbolize them entering adulthood. This blank bridle would become a book that records the history of their battles throughout their lives. As soon as the adulthood ceremony ends, the borisin youths must walk into the weapon farm, then pick and tame their first battle mount among the "mechabeasts" that have been filtered and bred via gene witchcraft. Mechabeasts that consume the conquered as their feed have astounding agility, perception, and ferocity — Yet they are considered mere sheep when facing against their future masters. As the moonlight stirs the violent blood in their veins, the borisin youths chase and duel against the mechabeasts. Some will die from the beast's kiss — That is the result of cowardice. Some will kill their peers — That is the law of how valiant beasts shall be distributed... The borisin youths trip the desired mount to the ground and tie the bridle, which is inlaid with neural spike whips, onto the animal's neck — The beast will be stunned through telepathy with its future master and become as tame as if they already received hundreds of whiplashes. When the beast willingly carries the master on its back, a fitting borisin sorya (warrior, rider) will have been born. Then, the borisin bridle will become the recorder of wars, and the reins will gradually become full of scratches, knots, and accessories. The well-trained sorya dons jellyfish-like membranous armor under the leadership of a yonda (leader, centurion). They then board the beast ships that can warp between stars, explore different worlds, and swear in the name of Duran and the Master of Immortality to make the stars into their herding ground. On the bridle, light scratches indicate how many enemies the owner had slain, knots record how many major campaigns they were involved in, and the accessories dangling from the reins are loot such as human teeth and Intellitron cores obtained from pillaging frenzies... They are the vengeful wails of the conquered, as well as medals for borisin individuals to demonstrate their strength. When the mounts beneath the warrior perish in warfare, or when borisin wish to mete out punishment, the bridle can also be fastened around the bodies of other living beings. Their targets are usually foxians — The slave race excluded from the clan due to genetic selection plans. They are weak, devious, and are only fit for lowly labor and calculations. Whenever rare war-like individuals emerge among the foxians, the master of the wolf-head would prioritize binding these foxians with the bridles, driving them as war slaves to serve as vanguards on the battlefield. If all slaves are dead, and the weapons are bent, then the bridle can still act as a whip if one attaches a spike to the end. If the bridle is snapped and the warrior perishes in war with their fangs and claws shattered, then the bridle will become the sole remaining epitaph and memories for borisin... Just as the old tales said that "the position between the predator and prey often changes in the forest," countless wolf-kind bridles have been broken and snapped after fighting for millennia against the Xianzhou in this dark forest called the universe. In the end, this link that connects various clans is severed by the sharp arrow of The Hunt, and the borisin also fall into the shadow of internal strife and general decay, becoming ever more removed from their former pride. |

Seems good for Clara yo
I was curious about this set, so I ran a calculator for some of our current follow-up units. Here are my findings:
Summary: 6% damage for follow-ups, but a similar loss to ult damage.
1. Even for follow-up attacks, the set is worse than Salsotto until you get to 5 stacks.
2. Duran gives about 6% damage increase to follow-ups, and about 2% to skills over Salsotto. This is at the cost of losing about 6% damage from your ultimate.
3. If your crit rate is low, then Salsotto gets slightly better due to the 8% crit rate. Once you have a good crit rate, then Duran pulls ahead. Salsotto should always be better unless your crit rate is very low compared to your crit damage.
4. It’s good on Jade, but more like a 4% boost with 8% ultimate dmg loss. She just has so much crit damage from her stacks that Salsotto inches closer.
This means it’s an improvement to Salsotto, but only if you can get the stacks quickly and do most of your damage from follow-ups, rather than ultimates.
So it should be very good on Clara and Topaz especially. Probably worse than Sigonia for Himeko+Herta, but they should still charge it quickly. Jade gets good value out of it, but she would want to be paired with another character with follow-ups to stack it quickly.
I had a typo on #3, Duran is the one that’s better than Salsotto in the last sentence.
FUA units eating good buff each patch xD
Salsotto: Wallahi I’m finished
XD
Will this be the new BiS for Ratio Topaz or Aventurine in the RRAT team
Can’t bother to do the math lmao
by a pretty decent margin yes. salsotto (assuming you’re running that) only offers a 15% DMG boost, while this can stack up to 24% and you only need 4 followups launched to exceed salsotto. it’ll be even better in PF or MOC cause you ramp up for the 2nd wave where the enemies are stronger.
This set imo is great for characters like jade Topaz, and Clara
while it seems like Ratio would love this, you would be neglecting his ult and skill damage to boost up his FuA. additionally I think he needs crit rate way more then he needs crit damage. it’s why people go inert salsetto despite glammoth being better the 8% crit is very helpful.
Blade wouldn’t go this since his damage is from EBA I wouldn’t neglect that to boost up his FUA
Jing yuan is like Ratio while most of his damage is FuA but you’d be neglecting his skill and ult not to mention I believe people run him hyper carry anyway in those teams this set would be a dead one.
hopefully someone will do the numbers lol
Clara would be fine since she’s ran with Topaz
As Ratio+Topaz already have a lot of FuA dmg increases, I think Izumo Gensei on both of them is better (but only if you run them together).
Ya I’m not gonna bother refarming them. They do their job well and until they start to suffer I’m sticking to what I have.
Will this be a new BiS for topaz Ratio or Aventurine in the Prenium FuA team (Ratio, Robin, Topaz, Aventurine)
Can’t bother to do the math lmao
The thing intresting with this one is that is not the wearer who must do follow up to stack, but allies.
Meaning if the wearer have a slow followup (ex. Jing Yuan) paired with someone with a lot of follow up (ex. topaz/ratio), he will stack it more frequently than if ratio as this set and jing yuan does the stacking.
I think this set will be used on frequent follow up teams. (For me it’s my Clara/Topaz team and both use this set)
I believe the wearer’s FUAs should still contribute towards the stacks.
They tend to specify “other allies” (e.g. Penacony 2pc) or “wearer’s allies” (e.g. Sparkle LC) if the wearer is excluded.
Always a play on words –‘
Idk but until there is some showcase of it, it seems that wearer/allies is not the same.
At least, for me…
Ugh… Do I have to farm another new set for Himeko and Herta?
Yeah this one lacks the crit rate boost but does seem like it offers more consistence damage. even if you fail to kill enemies. Which given some of that is damage %. Hmm. Not sure how that would effect the numbers. Still. It would be like damn it not again.
I don’t think it fits either Herta or Himeko to be Honest, they’ll fit more with either salsoto or Sigonia or Izumo Gensei.
This one needs your allies FuA, both herta and Himeko FuA are inconsistent, sometimes you do 1 with herta and sometimes you’ll do 5. and Himeko is even more difficult.
With Salsoto you probably already have a good set, with Sigonia you can Max stack it easily in Pure Fiction, for Izumo Gensei its need to be paired with the same path, since you’ll most likely use herta too right?
I’m talking with my perspective of you tackling Pure Fiction, and not regular MoC.
I think this one fits Jing Yuan (Another Buff Again), Ratio, Clara. Blade??? idk 🤷♀ I don’t play blade. basically those who have shitty slow FuA and do a single big damage.
It’s dependable situation where this set can amp Herta and Himeko very much in PF, but they suck on overworld, and Sigonia probably much same case. I know ppl can a bit over picky between dmg bonus or crit, as long the stats on your range comfort, i can see why not using this new set. You mention this set fit for slow FUA unit like Jing Yuan or Blade, remember this set activate 6x times, and comparing them with Herta and Himeko it’s a bit exaggerated.
