The Definitive Build & Analysis

Rarity	(5-Star)
Element	Cryo
Weapon	Claymore
Best Role	Physical Hypercarry
Stat Priority	CRIT > ATK% > ER
Tier	A (Physical Specialist)

Eula is the Spindrift Knight and the undisputed queen of Physical damage. Her kit revolves around her Elemental Burst, which creates a Lightfall Sword that charges up as she attacks, eventually detonating for one of the highest single-hit damage numbers in the game.

Pros

Highest damage ceiling for Physical DPS.
Built-in Physical and Cryo RES shred (Hold Skill).
Immune to interruption during Burst combo.
High defense buff makes her surprisingly tanky.

Cons

Backloaded damage (enemies may die or teleport before Nuke).
Physical damage is weak against elemental shields.
Energy hungry (requires a battery like Raiden or Rosaria).
Burst does not crit... occasionally (reset impact).

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

If you don't have time for the math, here is the cheat sheet.

Best Artifact: 4pc Pale Flame (BiS).
Alt Artifact: 2pc Pale Flame / 2pc Bloodstained Chivalry (Easier substats).
Best Weapon: Song of Broken Pines (Signature) or Beacon of the Reed Sea.
F2P Weapon: Tidal Shadow (Craftable) or Luxurious Sea-Lord (Event).
Support Weapon: Serpent Spine (BP - Excellent Crit stick).
Main Stats: SANDS: ATK% | GOBLET: Physical DMG | CIRCLET: CRIT Rate/DMG.
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Normal Attack > Elemental Skill.
Top Team: Eula + Raiden + Furina + Mika (Premium Physical).

Pro Tip: Superconduct is mandatory. Always pair Eula with an Electro character (Raiden/Fischl/Kuki) to reduce enemy Physical Resistance by 40%.

Talent Breakdown & Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Icetide Vortex

Tap: Deals quick Cryo DMG and grants 1 "Grimheart" stack.
Hold: Consumes all Grimheart stacks. Reduces enemy Physical and Cryo RES by up to 25%. Also deals AoE Cryo DMG.
Grimheart: Increases Eula's defense and resistance to interruption. Essential for face-tanking hits while stacking her Burst.

Elemental Burst: Glacial Illumination

Cost: 80 Energy | Cooldown: 20s
The Nuke: Deals Cryo DMG and summons a "Lightfall Sword."
Stacking: For 7 seconds, every Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Burst hit adds a stack to the sword. Eula gains interruption immunity during this time.
Detonation: After 7 seconds (or if Eula swaps out), the sword falls and explodes, dealing massive Physical DMG based on the number of stacks.

Passive: Roiling Rime

Mini-Nuke: If you consume 2 Grimheart stacks with Hold E, a shattered Lightfall Sword explodes immediately for 50% of the Burst's base damage. This is a key part of her burst combo.

Talent Priority Order:

Elemental Burst (Level 10) - The source of her millions of damage.
Normal Attack (Level 9) - You will be attacking a lot to build stacks.
Elemental Skill (Level 8) - Useful for RES shred.

Stat Requirements & ER Thresholds

Eula has an 80-cost burst and generates few particles. She needs a Cryo Battery (Raiden/Rosaria/Diona).

Team Context	ER Requirement
With Raiden Shogun	130% - 140%
With Cryo Battery (Rosaria/Diona)	135% - 150%
No Battery (Not Recommended)	180%+

Substat Priority:

CRIT Rate (Missed Crit on Burst = Restart Abyss)
Energy Recharge (Until requirement met)
CRIT DMG
ATK%

Best Artifacts Comparison

Set Name	Role	Reasoning
4pc Pale Flame	BiS	Provides 50% Physical DMG and 18% ATK. Eula can maintain full uptime easily with her E > Q > Hold E combo.
2pc Pale Flame / 2pc Bloodstained	Unconditional	Provides constant 50% Physical DMG without stacking mechanics. Easier to farm/mix.
4pc Marechaussee Hunter	With Furina	If running Eula with Furina, this set grants 36% CRIT Rate, which is massive for consistency.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Type	Performance	Notes
Song of Broken Pines	Phys DMG	S+	Signature. Highest Base ATK in the game. ATK Speed buff helps squeeze in an extra stack for the nuke.
Beacon of the Reed Sea	CRIT Rate	S+	Often performs equal to or better than Pines due to massive Crit Rate and ATK buffs (if hit). Easier to build around.
Serpent Spine (R5)	CRIT Rate	S	Battle Pass king. Outperforms R1 Wolf's Gravestone if you maintain stacks (needs a shielder like Zhongli).
Tidal Shadow (R5)	ATK%	A (F2P)	Fontaine Craftable. Massive ATK boost when healed. Works great with Mika/Bennett. Better than Snow-Tombed.

Constellation Value

Eula is perfectly fine at C0, but C6 is the biggest damage spike in the game.

C1: Tidal Illusion - (Damage) Consuming Grimheart stacks grants 30% Physical DMG Bonus for up to 18s. Basically permanent uptime.
C2: Lady of Seafoam - (QoL) Reduces Hold E cooldown to match Tap E. Makes maintaining Pale Flame stacks much easier.
C6: Noble Obligation - (The Nuke) Lightfall Sword starts with 5 stacks and has a 50% chance to gain an extra stack per hit. This allows you to reach maximum damage potential easily.

Verdict: C0 is standard. C6 turns her into a speedrun monster.

Top Team Compositions

1. Premium Physical

Main DPS: Eula
Battery/Sub-DPS: Raiden Shogun
Buffer: Furina
Healer/Buffer: Mika (C6 is huge)

Why it works: Raiden provides Superconduct and Energy. Furina gives massive DMG buff. Mika provides Healing (for Furina stacks) and Physical Crit DMG. The synergy is perfect.

2. Classic Eula

Main DPS: Eula
Battery: Rosaria (Crit Share) / Diona (Shield)
Electro: Fischl / Kuki Shinobu
Buffer: Bennett

Why it works: A more accessible team. Rosaria batteries Eula and shares Crit Rate. Bennett buffs ATK. Superconduct is maintained easily.

Rotations & Combos

The "Nuke" Combo:
Tap E > Q (Reset E) > N4 (4 Normal Attacks) > Hold E (Shred) > N4 > BOOM

Tip: Do not dash if possible. Dashing interrupts her attack string, causing you to lose stacks. Use her high interruption resistance to tank hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Physical Damage dead?
It is niche. Eula is strong enough to clear content, but she struggles against enemies with elemental shields (Lectors/Heralds). She shines against high-HP bosses.

Why didn't my burst crit?
Welcome to Eula mains. Because her damage is concentrated in one hit, missing a crit feels awful. Always aim for at least 70% CRIT Rate.
