Trace priority
- Skill
- Ultimate
- Talent
- Basic ATK
Sushang gains SPD against weakness-broken enemies, triggers extra Sword Stance damage and uses Ultimate to advance herself into another Skill.
How to play it
- 1Let the team reduce Toughness, then have Sushang cause or exploit the Physical Break.
- 2Use Skill on the weakness-broken priority target to trigger Sword Stance reliably.
- 3Cast Ultimate immediately after Skill to advance Sushang, then Skill again while the break window remains.
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
The audit keeps Break and conventional CRIT variants explicit. It tests Sword Stance against weakness-broken targets, Ultimate action advance and the real 145-SPD requirement for Talia.
