Information
Formerly a member of the Archaeological Team, Selena used to have a great singing voice. She was also known for her talent in art and her gentle yet resilient nature. After being rescued by an Ascendant following the space station and Red Tide incidents, she is now a Transcendant.
Specialty
Melee — Able to affect the game through different orb ping. Burst — Able to switch to Signature Move status in a quick manner.
Lightning DMG increases by 20%. Roaring Thunder and Sonic Vortex can now be cast during the action of other Signal Orb skills, but cannot be cast consecutively. Leaving Chaotic M.I.N.D. will return Orbs based on the number of Orbs before entering Chaotic M.I.N.D. and rearrange them for 3-Ping.
A list of recommended builds for Selena: Tempest can be found here. Each tab represents one build — click the tabs below to view each one. See here for more information about Ultima Awakening and resonance slots.
Disclaimer: Memories displayed here are arranged so that their stats are optimized based on their varying values in different positions. However, it's more cost-effective to arrange all 2-piece sets in top slots for easy swapping between builds, even if stats aren't optimized.
Note: Top and Bottom Resonance Slots can be assumed to be resonated to x6 of the below effects unless specified in orange. Top Resonance Slot (1): Ex — Tactical Adjustment: HP +75, ATK +15
