Light Cone
Epoch Etched in Golden BloodEpoch Etched in Golden Blood supplies 64% ATK, one Skill Point after an attacking Ultimate and Skill-DMG support for Cerydra's 4,000-ATK cycle.
When to use it : Use Ultimate and Skill around the carry's burst so the cone's Skill-Point recovery and Skill-DMG support feed Coup de Main.
Relics
Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal rewards Cerydra for repeatedly targeting her chosen carry with Skill.
When to use it : Refresh Cerydra's Skill on the carry as needed to maintain Sacerdos' SPD and CRIT DMG support.
Planar Ornaments
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas adds Energy Regeneration and gives the first-slot carry ATK without inflating Cerydra's stated target.
When to use it : Place Cerydra away from the first team slot so Lushaka buffs the Phainon carry positioned there.
Team lineup
Phainon provides a high-value Skill for Coup de Main, Sunday supplies targeting and advance, and Permansor Terrae protects the carry before Transformation.
When to use it : Put Phainon in slot one, grant him Military Merit, reach Nobility before Ultimate and apply all buffs before his allies withdraw.

| Guide’s reference choice | Epoch Etched in Golden Blood supplies 64% ATK, one Skill Point after an attacking Ultimate and Skill-DMG support for Cerydra's 4,000-ATK cycle. | Use Ultimate and Skill around the carry's burst so the cone's Skill-Point recovery and Skill-DMG support feed Coup de Main. |
| Alternative | Flowing Nightglow builds Energy Regeneration from ally attacks, then turns Cerydra's Ultimate into a brief team-DMG window. | Use Ultimate after ally attacks have built Cantillation stacks; its Cadenza team-DMG bonus lasts one turn. |
| Accessible option | The Forever Victual builds ATK as Cerydra uses Skill, improving both her own damage and the ATK buff inherited by Military Merit. | No additional condition documented in this guide. It requires no limited-cone Warp when the event reward has already been claimed. |
| Situational | Dance! Dance! Dance! advances every ally after Cerydra's Ultimate, helping align the marked carry's Skill with Coup de Main. | Use when advancing the whole team creates the carry's decisive Skill window. |
| Situational | Past and Future increases the next acting ally's DMG after Cerydra's Skill. | Speed-tune the carry to act immediately after Cerydra; the buff lasts only one turn. |

Cerydra grants Military Merit to one carry; at 6 Charge it upgrades to Nobility and consumes six points to trigger Coup de Main when that ally uses Skill.
How to play it
- 1Use Skill on the designated carry to grant Military Merit, its ATK share and 20 flat SPD.
- 2Let the marked carry use Basic Attacks or Skills to generate Cerydra Energy and accumulate 6 Charge.
- 3At Nobility, use the carry's key Skill to trigger Coup de Main and duplicate that Skill, consuming the six points.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen and Icy Veins were read independently, then checked against released local 4.4 data. The model assigns Military Merit to one carry, includes its 20 flat SPD and ATK transfer, generates Charge from the marked ally's eligible actions, upgrades at exactly 6 Charge, then consumes six to resolve one Coup de Main Skill duplicate. Cerydra's innate 100% CRIT Rate is not rebuilt; 4,000 ATK excludes external ally buffs.
