Noire
Who is Noire?
Noire is a 6-star Plant-afflatus Ultimate-oriented carry who continuously recasts her Ultimate through the [Genius Insight] mechanic, generating powerful but slightly inconsistent mass damage. Her kit prioritises Critical Rate, Critical DMG, DMG Bonus, and Ultimate Might, making her a heavy investment in Crit stats. Prydwen describes her as a decent Ultimate carry who requires [Neg Status] application on enemies and strong Ultimate Might buffs from teammates — particularly An-an Lee for Neg Status application while Melania provides Ultimate DMG amplification via [Fixed Plan].
Kit Summary
Triggers additional Ultimate casts under specific conditions, enabling Noire to chain Ultimates multiple times in a single rotation.
Noire's main damage dealer — scales heavily off Critical Rate, Critical DMG, and Ultimate Might. Each chain cast maintains the multiplier stack.
Her damage bonuses and [Genius Insight] triggering conditions are tied to enemies holding [Neg Status] debuffs — requires a teammate to reliably apply negative status effects.
Noire having access to Elucidation boosts her Ultimate-chain efficiency. As an Ult-based DPS, Prydwen calls this a no-brainer investment.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: Maximum Critical Rate and Critical DMG first — her Ultimate chains compound Crit multipliers. DMG Bonus% and Ultimate Might nodes to scale each chain cast. No Incantation Might investment needed.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Rehearsal of Dreams (signature BiS, prydwen): 18% Ultimate Might plus conditional 12–24% Ultimate Might and 12–24% DMG Dealt — best-in-slot by a significant margin for her chain Ultimate playstyle. Brave New World (budget): 18% Ultimate Might baseline; accessible for players who cannot obtain her signature.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Noire core: Noire + An-an Lee (Euphoria) + Melania (Euphoria) + sustain — An-an Lee applies [Neg Status] enabling [Genius Insight] triggers; Melania provides [Fixed Plan] Ultimate Crit and Might buffs; sustain keeps Noire alive through chain Ultimate sequences.
Alternative: Noire + Shamane + Melania + Medicine Pocket — Shamane's DMG Taken debuff supplements Melania's buffing for higher total output.
F2P Verdict
Noire is a limited 6-star. Her dependency on An-an Lee and Melania means building her optimally requires two additional limited characters. F2P players should assess their An-an Lee and Melania availability before pulling. Rehearsal of Dreams is her BiS; Brave New World is the budget fallback.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Noire's Genius Insight work?
[Genius Insight] triggers additional Ultimate casts when specific conditions are met — primarily enemies holding [Neg Status] debuffs. Under ideal conditions she chains Ultimates multiple times per rotation, dramatically increasing her mass damage output. Inconsistency arises when [Neg Status] application is unreliable.
What is Noire's best psychube?
Rehearsal of Dreams is her signature BiS and best option by a clear margin — 18% base Ultimate Might plus conditional 12–24% Ultimate Might and 12–24% DMG Dealt scales all her chain Ultimates simultaneously. Brave New World (18% Ultimate Might) is the accessible budget alternative.
Who are Noire's best teammates?
An-an Lee (Euphoria) is her primary [Neg Status] applicator, enabling consistent [Genius Insight] triggers. Melania provides [Fixed Plan] which grants the next Ultimate up to 36% Crit Rate and Crit DMG — critical for boosting chain Ultimate damage. Shamane's dual-DEF shred is a solid alternative support.
Is Noire a good carry in version 3.4?
She is situational — a decent mass DPS in her specific team composition but lacking the flexibility and raw ceiling of top-tier carries like Lucy or Windsong. She is a meaningful pull only if you already have An-an Lee and Melania and want a dedicated Ultimate chain DPS.
