Beryl
Who is Beryl?
Beryl is a 6-star Intellect-afflatus DPS carry and the flagship of the Lingering Glow archetype. She accumulates [Lingering Glow] stacks whenever enemies are inflicted with [Burn] or [Halo], converting them into devastating mass damage via her signature [Destined Doom] mechanic. What makes her exceptional is her Emanation system — she enters battle equipping two of three crystals (blue, purple, green) which each adapt her into a different archetype: Extra Action, Attack Spam, or Rank Up. Prydwen rates her among the strongest DPS in the game with extremely high damage per turn and massive multi-target scaling.
Kit Summary
Stacks are gained each time any enemy receives [Burn] or [Halo]. High stacks trigger [Destined Doom] — a massive mass damage follow-up that is her primary damage source.
Entering battle lets Beryl pick two from three crystals, shifting her into Extra Action, Attack Spam, or Rank Up mode. Only two can be equipped simultaneously.
Best partners are characters who apply [Burn] (Isolde, Marsha) or [Halo] (Flutterpage) consistently to feed her [Lingering Glow] loop.
Converts [Lingering Glow] stacks into Critical Rate bonuses and additional damage scalings as stacks grow.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: Prioritise Critical Rate and Critical DMG to capitalise on [Lingering Glow]'s Critical Rate conversion. Incantation Might amplifies [Destined Doom] and all incantation hits. Ensure consistent [Burn] or [Halo] uptime through team selection rather than resonance stats.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Aurora After Winter (BiS on Lingering Glow, prydwen): Best-in-slot on Bloodtithe and Lingering Glow teams — its stacking Crit synergy lines up perfectly with her [Lingering Glow] Crit conversion. In Their Figures (team support alternative): Grants 6–18% Incantation Might to the whole team — good in Lingering Glow compositions where the whole team benefits from the buff.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Lingering Glow core: Beryl + Isolde + Flutterpage + Marsha — Isolde provides the best [Burn] generation in the game, Flutterpage supplies [Halo] and FUA buffs, Marsha adds shields and Crit buffs while applying additional [Burn].
Alternate FUA: Beryl + Isolde + Marsha + Fatutu — Fatutu replaces Flutterpage for healing and [Spirit Shell] FUA debuff at some damage cost.
F2P Verdict
Beryl is a limited 6-star. Aurora After Winter is her BiS psychube. Her team requires Isolde, Flutterpage, or Marsha for consistent [Burn]/[Halo] uptime — some of these are obtainable on standard banners, reducing the F2P barrier for her support slots. Budget compositions are viable but sacrifice a notable damage ceiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Emanation system?
Beryl enters battle by selecting two of three crystals: blue, purple, or green. Each crystal shifts her playstyle — blue enables Extra Action mode, purple enables Attack Spam, and green enables Rank Up. She can only equip two at a time, giving her three distinct build paths depending on your team composition.
How does Beryl stack Lingering Glow?
She gains [Lingering Glow] stacks whenever any enemy is inflicted with [Burn] or [Halo] — each application adds stacks. Once enough stacks accumulate, she triggers [Destined Doom], her signature mass follow-up attack. This makes Isolde (best Burn generator) and Flutterpage (Halo) her premier synergy partners.
What psychubes work best for Beryl?
Aurora After Winter is her best-in-slot on Lingering Glow and Bloodtithe teams due to its Crit synergy with her [Lingering Glow] Crit conversion passive. In Their Figures is a team-oriented alternative that gives 6–18% Incantation Might to all allies.
Can Beryl work without Isolde?
She can, but Isolde is her premier [Burn] partner. Without Isolde you need another reliable [Burn] applicator (Marsha works but less consistently). The damage floor drops noticeably — her [Lingering Glow] engine slows significantly without a dedicated Burn source.
