Beatrix

Rotate the clock, change the rules

Element: Water
Weapon: Sword
Role: DPS
Range: Melee
Release: Endless Ragnarok
Difficulty: 4 out of 5

Signature mechanic

Delta Clock hand position changes her buffs

Beatrix's Delta Clock rotates between positions that each grant different attack, defence and healing buffs, and you rotate it manually with press or hold. Undying Blue, entered by holding with a full Embrasque gauge, sharply raises her attack speed and combo quality. The difficulty is that ordinary combo inputs can move the clock hand accidentally, so her rotation demands deliberate input discipline.

Beatrix is a solid melee DPS once her Embrasque gauge is activated. However, switching between her stances may need time to get used to since you need to time your combos between her normal and power attacks, or you'll accidentally move the Delta clock. She is a niche character who is good for people who like to strategize with their builds.— Game8 tier assessment

Strengths

Solid melee damage with self-buffs
Once Embrasque is up she is a strong sustained-damage frontliner.
Adaptable buff states
The clock lets you pivot between offence, defence and sustain mid-fight.
Fast combos in Undying Blue
Her power state meaningfully changes how quickly she cycles finishers.

Weaknesses

Easy to misinput
Mistimed normal and power attacks rotate the Delta Clock by accident and wreck your buff state.
Slow to come online
She needs the Embrasque gauge active before she does real damage.
Paid DLC character
Requires Endless Ragnarok.

Support skills (passives)

Embrasque Pact
Beatrix gains unique attack, defense, and healing buffs based on Delta Clock's hand position. Press or hold to rotate the clock hand.
Undying Blue
Holding with a full Embrasque gauge allows Beatrix to enter a state that enhances her attack speed and combos. Landing combo finishers fills the gauge.

How to unlock

Unlock Beatrix by recruiting her at Sierokarte's Knickknack Shack in exchange for 1 Crewmate Card. She is immediately available in the Knickknack Shack in the Endless Ragnarok DLC.

To maximize Beatrix's DMG Cap, you will want to get the Alpha and Gamma Sigils equipped. Moreover, you can boost her damage output and ATK power by equipping her with Berserker Echo, War Elemental , and especially Combo Finisher as her playstyle requires multiple Combo Finishers for her Devour Causality.

For her Character-specific Sigils, her Ultramarine's Awakening will be able to speed up her skills' cooldown process during Devour Causality while providing all equipped sigils with the + mark to gain an additional trait. Considering that her Awakening has Ultramarine's Flash , which boosts Beatrix's DMG Cap based on her low health, you will be able to optimize this by equipping her with Enmity and Life on the Line . She will take more damage with her Warpath equipped in exchange for an attack boost via her Delta Clock.

To keep her alive, equip her with Potion Hoarder with Autorevive. Alternatively, you can equip her with Guts to ensure her survivability in battle.

Beatrix's best Master Trait is On the Clock , which boosts the effects of her Delta Clock's buffs. This can also provide Beatrix the opportunity to spam Combo Finishers and Power Finishers by activating her Golden Delta Clock, which can deal more heavy damage by going for DMG Cap and ATK boost skills.

Execution

Combos & rotation

Golden Delta Clock Combo (Endless Ragnarok)
Follow the usual steps in activating your Devour Causality for the combo. Fill up the Embrasque gauge with the Normal Attack → Power Strike → Combo Finisher combo.
After entering Devour Causality mode, you will want to use Beatrix's Combo Finishers as much as possible to activate the Golden Delta Clock. This can be unleashed quickly with this attack pattern: Offensive Skill → Combo Finisher → Power Finisher → Offensive Skill, then repeat.
Upon activating the Golden Delta Clock, keep spamming Combo Finishers and Power Finishers until the gauge runs out to maximize overall damage.
Devour Causality Combo Pre-DLC6 steps
1. 1Activate the Rising Nova to increase the Delta Clock's effects.
2. 2Approach the enemy and fill up the Embrasque gauge by following this attack pattern: Normal Attack → Power Strike → Combo Finisher.
3. 3Hold the Delta Clock to activate Devour Causality. Unleash Hearts on Fire to begin the first Combo Finisher and Power Finisher.
4. 4Use Thunderbird to stun your enemy, then follow it up with a Combo Finisher and Power Finisher.
5. 5Charge the Embrasque Sword when you're able, then follow up with another Combo Finisher and Power Finisher.
6. 6Keep hitting the enemy during the remainder of Devour Causality with this pattern: Normal Attack 4x → Combo Finisher → Power Finisher.
Devour Causality is best utilized by combining your normal attacks and skills to perform multiple Combo Finishers and Power Finishers at once. For a swift transition to this phase, we recommend doing the Normal Attack → Power Strike → Combo Finisher combo until the Embrasque gauge has been filled up.
Maximize Beatrix's damage by doing the Devour Causality Combo within the duration of the Rising Nova's effects. For the normal attack pattern, hit the enemy with Beatrix's Normal Attack four times before initiating a Combo Finisher and Power Finisher.
Use Skills To Spam Combo Finishers
Combo Finishers can be activated immediately after performing any offensive skill. This can allow Beatrix to keep spamming Combo Finishers once in between skills.
Use Naed Nulli to Increase ATK Power
Beatrix's Delta Clock is divided into three types: Naed Nulli for ATK Power, Naed Nelja for Regen, and Naed Seiset for DEF. To maximize her damage output, keep the Delta Clock at Naed Nulli, especially during Devour Causality. Use Naed Nelja and Naed Seiset for dire situations, such as keeping Beatrix alive.
Follow Combo Finisher After Link Attacks
Combo Finishers can also be activated as soon as Beatrix finishes performing a Link Attack. When prompted, have Beatrix use a Link Attack, especially between combos during Devour Causality. This will definitely provide further damage when timed properly.

Kit

Skills

Recommended loadout — Thunderbird, Rising Nova, and Embrasque Sword

Thunderbird is Beatrix's main stunner skill. It can also serve as a gap closer, so this is best executed at the beginning of a combo, especially after buffing up with Rising Nova.

On the other hand, Hearts on Fire can also serve as a gap closer, but it is best utilized during Devour Causality to deal with multiple hits at once. Embrasque Sword is Beatrix's highest-damage offensive skill and becomes significantly stronger when fully charged.

Skill	Effect	Applies
Embrasque SwordRecommended	A chargeable sweeping slash. Slash radius, damage, and hit count are boosted when charged.
Eternity Loop	Impales the ground, unleashing an AoE shockwave that inflicts Slow to foes.
Hearts on FireRecommended	Continuously attacks while closing the gap between a foe. Restores Beatrix's HP based on the damage dealt.
Riding Free	A fast lunge attack that leads into a rising slash.
Rising NovaRecommended	Boosts the strength of Delta Clock's effects.
Star Chaser	Unleashes a long-range slash at frontal foes.
ThunderbirdRecommended	Leaps high into the air and attacks a foe with a downward kick. Deals a high amount of stun.
Unchained	A quick dodge that can be activated up to 3 times in a row. Press Y after a perfectly timed dodge to perform a combo finisher.

Recommended team — The Captain, Eugen, and Cagliostro

The Captain
Eugen
Cagliostro

For a team composition with Beatrix as the primary DPS dealer, Eugen can serve as the DPS support while also debuffing enemies with Venom and Paralysis. He can also support by aiming enemies at a longer range.

The Captain (Gran/Djeeta) can serve as an all-arounder who can either buff up the party, debuff enemies, or deal more damage. Cagliostro is the best choice as the party's primary support, who can keep everyone alive with her healing skills, while providing ATK, DEF, and Crit Hit boosts with her Phantasmagoria.
