Passive Skill 1: “Extra Sweet Effort”
When attack target does not get stunned after using a skill, boosts own stun damage by 30% for the next 1 turn.Passive Skill 2: “Power of Destruction”
Boosts stun damage by 15%.
Plenty of different stun boosting options here. The strongest and rarest one is Chocolate Time, with the highest bonus at high ranks and the highest Speed and defenses of the bunch. The bonus of this memoria is weaker than all the others at rank I, but it spikes quickly after that.
All the other alternatives are free or low rarity and easy to obtain and max out. These include A Continuation of that Summer, which is obtained for free by all accounts but only works against enemies weak to Stab, and Gentle with the Bride with each event exclusive.
Low rarity options have Embraced by the Dusk Sea which has no special conditions and is very solid but with low defensive stats; The Two Shallies, an R grade with an actually greater boost but much lower stats and the condition to only be fighting 1 enemy; and A Summer Adventure, an SR rarity memoria with the strongest boost and no special conditions but with the lowest Speed.
Her only offensive choice is Sprinkling Magic from the Sky, adding powerful physical resistance debuffs to her attacks to assist all kind of Stab, Strike and Slash oriented teams. Our Masterpiece is also viable, but only in very specific teams, if you can afford the Enhanced Damage Buff [A] traits.
Abmähen
While equipped to a character with Stab affinity, when attack target is stunned, boosts target’s physical attack damage received by 8 ~ 11% for 2 attacks.
Hands down her best weapon. Its effect synergizes incredibly well with her kit, and it’s also affected by the Enhanced P./M. Resistance Down trait. It’s a lot of free damage for her team.
Heartful Wand
While equipped to a character with Stab affinity, boosts single-target attack stun damage by 11 ~ 15%.
Event exclusive recipe with one of the strongest stun oriented effect in her arsenal. Almost never recommended over Abmähen but, if Stun is what you need, this is your item.
Steel Bow
While equipped to a Breaker, boosts stun damage by 6 ~ 8%.
This weapon provides a slight boost to stun damage and has no special conditions required. It’s cheap to make and unlocked very early in the game, making it ideal for beginners without access to Heartful Wand.
Heartful Dress
While equipped to a character with Stab affinity, when target is stunned, boosts the skill damage of the ally with the highest P. ATK by 13 ~ 19% for 1 turn.
Offensive oriented armor that shares her regular skill conditions of stunning a target, and adds a strong skill damage boost to her highest P.Atk ally on their next turn. This buff is affected by Enhanced Damage Buff [A], if you can afford such expensive trait combo.
This is very often her strongest choice.
Gold Embroidered Coat
Boosts stun damage by 8 ~ 11% on single-target attacks.
This armor is a moderate increase to stun potencies for all her Skills. Not much else to say about it, but worth considering if you are lacking a bit of breaking power.
It’s unlocked very early in the game but it’s an Extra category recipe, so it is hard to get as SSR.
Raisonnement
When attack target is stunned, reduces target’s Strike resistance by 5 ~ 7% for 2 attacks.
I know what you are thinking. Strike Resistance? This armor is not locked by affinity and will be extremely powerful when assisting Strike damage dealers like Valeria: Warrior of Rose. This works very well in Roman’s Tournament and has the same conditions her regular kit does.
Hard Coat
Boosts physical stun damage by 6%.
This armor provides a small boost to physical stun damage. It’s one of the first recipes to be unlocked in the game making it extremely accessible and cheap, which works great as a placeholder item in the early stages while you unlock more suitable pieces like Champion’s Attire or any of the others mentioned above.
Envy Ring
While equipped to a character with Stab affinity, boosts single-target attack stun damage by 13 ~ 18%.
Escha’s strongest stun oriented accessory, with very high Speed stat and no special conditions for her. It is quite expensive to make, unfortunately, and locked behind Stab tower progression.
Spirit Earrings
While equipped to a Breaker with Stab affinity, boosts all allies’ physical attack skill damage by 4 ~ 5%.
Her one offensive oriented accessory. It’s a passive effect active at all times that boosts all allies’ physical skill damage, and it can be increased by Enhanced Damage Buff [A]. It’s very good if you can afford losing the stun power.
Heartful Earmuffs
While equipped to a character with Stab affinity, at the start of a wave, boosts own stun damage by 14 ~ 20% for 2 turns.
A much cheaper alternative to the Envy Ring, with a very similar bonus and Speed too. The catch is that the effect will only work for 2 actions before disappearing permanently. The effect refreshes in multi wave content, where this item tends to be stronger.
Event exclusive recipe.
Main Traits
- Enhanced P./M. Resistance Down is an absolutely mandatory trait for her to perform to the level she is supposed to perform. This will more than double the potency of all her effects, weapon included, immensely boosting the physical damage received by the targets she stuns. Not having 3x of this trait at V rank is, frankly, not an option.
- Physical Stun Damage Boost trait is her main source of stun damage, her primary role. This is a key component for her to fulfill all her roles as breaker and debuffer, as all her skills benefit from stunning her targets. Not doing so will completely tank her performance, so this trait is very important to have alongside Enhanced P./M. Resistance Down in high ranks, making her gear quite expensive and difficult to get.
Situational Traits
- Her niche traits are not too flexible. Physical Stun Damage Boost or Stun Damage Boost are always alternatives if the fight demands it, but this is very rare. It’s really not recommended to build double stun traits unless you really need to, because more often than not it will go to waste.
- The Stun Damage Up on Weakness trait is extremely strong but, unlike other Breakers, Escha does not have means to turn neutral enemies to Stab weak, drastically reducing her great versatility. It’s also incompatible with her main trait so, while functional, this trait is not super great.
- The Enhanced Damage Buff [A] trait IS compatible with Enhanced P./M. Resistance Down, and it can help boost the effects of Heartful Dress and Spirit Earrings. This is okay if you also manage to equip Our Masterpiece in her memoria slot, but keep in mind her breaking power will suffer considerably as a result.
- Escha absolutely needs to be the character stunning the enemies to trigger all her effects. Not doing so will completely tank her performance. For this to happen, she needs a decent amount of Stun Damage against tougher enemies or enemies not weak to Stab.
- Her Skill 1 Stun Damage boost combined with both her passive skills make up for an insane setup combo, especially when followed up by her Burst Skill. Learn to abuse this combo regularly to one shot almost any stun bar with only 300 wait time combined and steal early Burst panels in the fights.
- Unlike most breakers with similar effect, hers last for 2 attacks instead of just 1. This is insanely strong and let’s her stack her own debuffs up to twice, or play with another disruptive debuffer like Ryza: Master’s Right Hand to create a powerful setup. For this to work, Escha needs to be fast.
- When played alongside Rorona: Joyful Leader, opening the fight with a Skill 1 will guarantee Escha’s next turn will be placed right after her. This sets up a really strong combo of “Escha Skill 1 > Rorona Skill 2 > Escha Burst” to stun essentially anything non resistant to Stab, and quickly enable any damage dealer to follow up with a strong Burst of their own for a fast clear.
