Rotation
Mercy — buffer
E (tap) → Q: Toward a New World → swap to DPS → Anastasya: Triumph of the Azure Star Edict
The crown's timer freezes and it deals reaction damage, and the party's Stellar Glimmer DMG rises by 50%. Anastasya stays sealed until the team deals enough reaction damage; swapping back to her triggers Triumph.
Glory — DPS
E (hold) → Q: When Eternal Night Gives Way to Dawn → spear attacks → presses on allies: Annihilation × 3
Allies are sealed, and spear Normal Attacks shorten the seal. Afterward, each press on an ally doesn't swap them in but triggers a stage of Annihilation; the third stage ends the freeze.
Detailed guide
In short: the Tsaritsa, a 7.3 5★ Cryo bow user who powers up both Stellar reactions: Stellar-Conduct (with Electro) and Stellar Swirl (with Anemo). Her Skill works differently depending on how you press it, and that decides her role.
Two modes: tap grants Mercy: a crown follows the active character, and her Burst buffs the whole party's reactions. This is the buffer role. Hold grants Glory: Anastasya fights with the Sacred Spear, seals her allies and deals the main damage herself. This is the DPS role.
Party buffs: after her Skill, everyone gets Honor: +12% CRIT DMG (C1 adds +15% ATK for Cryo characters and +60 EM for the rest). Her passive adds base damage to both reactions from her ATK (0.7% per 100 ATK, up to 14%), and with Stellar Swirl the vortices start at level 2 and get +15% to their base multiplier.
Stats: ATK and crit, since her reactions scale off her ATK and can crit. Goblet: ATK if reaction damage doesn't benefit from Cryo DMG Bonus, otherwise Cryo; we'll confirm after release.
Signature bow (5★, 674 base ATK, 44.1% CRIT DMG) — the best option by a wide margin. After her Skill or Burst: +40% ATK and +40% CRIT DMG for Stellar reactions for 6s; each Stellar reaction extends it by 3s (up to 8 times). Stellar reactions also restore 10 Energy to her once every 15s. It will be added to the site's database with 7.3; until then the list shows replacements.
The new 7.3 set (name not known yet) is made for her: 2-piece — +18% ATK, 4-piece — +20% Cryo CRIT Rate, plus another +20% if the damage is from a Stellar reaction. Stacks come from her Skill, Burst and Normal Attacks, and she loses 1 stack every 3s on field, so with active play the effect stays up. It will most likely become her best set.
Constellations: C2 gives +60% CRIT DMG to party reactions (Mercy) or +25% spear damage (Glory); C6 adds a Triumph or Annihilation strike without needing the Burst.
Everything is based on leaks: weapons, artifacts, stats and teams are picked from her kit and may change by release.
