Guide to Theresa "Schicksal's Imperative" in Honkai Impact 3rd: Builds, Teams & Advanced Tactics

Theresa's S-rank battlesuit "Schicksal's Imperative" is a Quantum-Type Support/DPS Hybrid dominating with timeline manipulation, fate-stacking mechanics, and team-wide buffs/debuffs. This guide covers optimal strategies for Memorial Arena, Superstring Dimension (SSD), and Elysian Realm in v8.3+.  

⏳ 1. Core Mechanics & Playstyle  

Key Abilities  

- Fate's Dice :  

  - Generated via Charged ATKs or Weapon Skill. Each die face (1-6) grants unique buffs. Max 6 stacks.  

  - "Double Fate": At 6 stacks, next Ultimate consumes all dice for 500% Quantum DMG × dice count.  

- Resonance Skill: Threads of Destiny :  

  - Pulls enemies into quantum singularity; applies "Fatebound" (enemies take +30% Total DMG).  

- Ultimate: Ouroboros Sentence :  

  - Stage 1: Deals AoE Quantum DMG + resets all cooldowns (self/team).  

  - Stage 2: Enters "Schicksal's Gaze" state: Basic ATKs throw dice automatically (15s).  

- Team Synergy:  

  - Allies gain 15% CRIT DMG per die stack. Detonating 6 dice shreds 50% Quantum RES.  

Role Flexibility  

- Support: SP battery + cooldown reset enables hypercarry rotations.  

- Sub-DPS: Dice nukes delete elite groups.  

⚙️ 2. Optimal Gear & Stats  

Weapons  

| Weapon | Role | Key Effect |  

|------------|----------|----------------|  

| Vadász's Finale (BiS) | Hybrid | +40% Quantum DMG; Ultimate resets Fatebound duration. |  

| Key of Oblivion | F2P | Dice generate 50% faster; +20% Team ATK. |  

| Nexus Signifier | Support | Ult cooldown -30%; SP regen +25%. |  

Stigmata  

- Schicksal's Oracle (4pc BiS):  

  - 2pc: Quantum DMG +25%.  

  - 3pc: Ultimate resets grant "Destiny Rewrite" (Allies: CDR -50%/SP cost -30% for 8s).  

- Alternatives: Newton B + Mei: Beach Party M + Darwin T (early game).  

- Main Stats: ATK/CRIT DMG (Time) → Quantum DMG (Goblet) → CRIT Rate (Circlet).  

- Substats: SP Regen (150%+) > CRIT Rate > ATK%.  

👥 3. Team Compositions  

Quantum Burst Team  

| Character | Role | Synergy |  

|---------------|----------|-------------|  

| Theresa (Schicksal) | Support/DPS | Cooldown reset + Quantum RES shred. |  

| Silverwing: N-EX | Hypercarry | Deletes groups after reset. |  

| Haxxor Bunny | Sub-DPS | Quantum/Ice RES shred (-40%). |  

- Rotation:  

  1. Haxxor Bunny: Deploy drones.  

  2. Theresa: Charged ATK (6 dice) → Ultimate → "Schicksal's Gaze" auto-dice.  

  3. Silverwing: Ult → Combo ATK → Reset by Theresa → Repeat Ult.  

Universal Support Core  

- Theresa + Herrscher of Sentience + Eden:  

  - HoS: Physical burst after reset.  

  - Eden: SP battery for infinite ult loops.  

🎮 4. Advanced Playstyle  

Optimal Rotation  

1. Dice Stacking: 3× Charged ATK → Weapon Skill (max dice).  

2. Debuff Setup: Apply Fatebound via Resonance Skill.  

3. Ultimate Combo:  

   - Stage 1: Reset team cooldowns.  

   - Stage 2: Spam Basic ATKs in Schicksal's Gaze (auto-dice → nuke at 6 stacks).  

4. Loop: Swap to DPS → Re-engage after reset.  

Key Techniques  

- Cooldown Abuse: Reset high-impact skills (e.g., Herrscher of Truth's Ult).  

- Dice RNG Mitigation: Use "Double Fate" only at 5-6 stacks.  

- SP Management: Pair with Eden for infinite ult loops.  

🌌 5. Elysian Realm Builds  

Signet Priority  

- Core: Dice of Destiny (核心): +3 max dice stacks; 6-stack nuke +200% DMG.  

- Support: Elysia I (Ult CD -50%) + Kalpas II (HP trade for DMG) + Eden II (SP regen).  

- Boss Strategy: Vs. Husk-Nihilius, save 6-dice nuke for shield-break phase.  

⚠️ 6. Constellation & Investment  

- C0: Viable support.  

- C2: Fatebound duration +100%; shreds 20% DEF.  

- C6: Ultimate Stage 2 lasts 25s; Basic ATKs generate 2 dice.  

- Farm Priority:  

  - Quantum Shards: Universal Mirage Stage 4.  

  - SP Chips: Foundry (prioritize Recharge Rate V).  

💎 7. Pros & Cons
