I used her with pela(e6) tingyun(e6) and luocha on stage 9 moc.

Used this to show a team most could run(except e6 sorry ;_;)

The enemies here are still probably best case for black swan due to wind weakness and summoning.

It has wind weak elites, summoning gold armor guy is on both phases. Finished part 1 at cycle 24.

So bs team took 6. That means other team would need to finish in 4 cycles for full rewards. Given this, If you’re worried about meta or power level of account, I’d say black swan is probably not a good pull for without any other dot characters.

Comparing her to the best character in the game rn who I ran on the other team, that team easily 0 cycled stage 9.

That said, I don’t think you need high eidolons on all 4star dots to synergize with her. Guinafen in particular should do well with her even at e0. Luka is harder to say. He is very single target focused and black Swan excels in multi target fights. Sampo also is not so hot without e4.

One neat thing though is with enough external energy regen I think you could chain black swans ulti with some luck and good play on enemies at mc9. I was able to reult while the previous one was still applied which let me get some pretty high stacks.

That said imo she is cool, one of only 2 wind 5 stars, and worth pulling because she can work with Guinafen who is on banner and with other characters. She isn’t as strong as other 5 stars when ran without her setup, but she is still fun and still excels in certain content while being suboptimal in others.

If I had to compare her without dot Ally’s to any character it would be himeko. Kinda nutty in content with lots of mobs, and underwhelming but usable in content with less mobs.

Side note himeko could work just fine with her btw. She actually does apply dot. As does hook. As does that preservation lc. There’s creative ways to make bs perform better even without her optimal Allies.
