Skills
Moving on, let’s take a look at the skills that will be offered up to fury sinners, especially for a sinner like ninety-Nine.
Furious Attack
Ninety-nine’s first skill, “Furious Attack,” is her basic normal attack. It doesn’t require energy and can be freely used in battle. When activated, Ninety-nine wields her large sword to strike the target head-on, dealing damage equal to 108% of her base attack. This damage is physical or melee and not elemental. The skill range covers opponents in front, behind, to the right, and to the left of her.
To level up this skill, you’ll need to reach at least Sinner Phase One. The upgrade materials include Skill Module I and Skill Module II for increased damage output, as well as Twilight Stone Raw Ores and Discoins. Here are the level-up upgrades:
- Level 2: 115% increase
- Level 3: 123% increase
- Level 4: 131% increase
- Level 5: 140% increase
- Level 6: 149% increase
- Level 7: 159% increase
- Level 8: 170% increase
- Level 9: 181% increase
- Level 10: 194% increase
Incinerate
Ninety-nine’s ultimate ability, “Incinerate,” is her most powerful skill, requiring 25 energy to use. When activated, she enters Incinerate mode, sacrificing 50% of her base HP in exchange for a 20% increase in attack. This attack boost lasts for 13 seconds, enhancing her combat capabilities significantly.
While in Incinerate mode, any incoming enemy damage directed at Ninety-nine is delayed by 5 seconds, giving her extra time to act. To level up this skill, you’ll need to reach Sinner Phase 1 and use skill modules, twilight stone raw ores, and Discoins. Here are the level-up upgrades:
- Level 2: 21.3% increase
- Level 3: 22.8% increase
- Level 4: 24.3% increase
- Level 5: 26% increase
- Level 6: 27.7% increase
- Level 7: 29.6% increase
- Level 8: 31.6% increase
- Level 9: 32.7% increase
- Level 10: 36% increase
Ebullition
Once Ninety-nine reaches level 20 and is phased up to the next level, the passive skill “Ebullition” becomes unlocked. While it’s a passive skill, it can still be leveled up to level 10 and offers significant benefits. Whenever Ninety-nine loses 10% of her maximum HP, either through her ultimate ability or enemy attacks, Ebullition activates.
Ebullition provides a 2.5% increase in attack speed for Ninety-nine, allowing her to launch attacks faster. This enhancement makes her more effective in combat. Here are the upgrades for Ebullition:
- Level 2: 2.7% increase
- Level 3: 2.8% increase
- Level 4: 3% increase
- Level 5: 3.2% increase
- Level 6: 3.5% increase
- Level 7: 3.7% increase
- Level 8: 3.9% increase
- Level 9: 4.2% increase
- Level 10: 4.5% increase
Berserk
One of the next skills that we would also like to talk about is known as Berserk. It will be yet another passive skill which automatically means that it will not be cast or activated manually and would rather be used automatically in combat.
Whenever the skill is cast, players can expect to have their overall damage output increased by 4%, which will allow them to defeat enemies even faster. Whenever Ninety Nine launches an attack against the same type of opponent, she will able to gain stacks of the damage increase and will be maxed out at 5 stacks.
- Level 2: 4.3% increase.
- Level 3: 4.6% increase.
- Level 4: 4.9% increase.
- Level 5: 5.2% increase.
- Level 6: 5.5% increase.
- Level 7: 5.5% increase.
- Level 8: 6.3% increase.
- Level 9: 6.7% increase.
- Level 10: 7.2% increase.
Shackles
Ninety-Nine has a set of shackles, similar to constellations in Genshin Impact, which are unlocked when you obtain duplicate copies of her characters. There are a total of 5 shackles that can be activated for Ninety-Nine:
- Boiling Point: This shackle affects her ultimate skill, Incinerate, by extending its duration by 3 seconds, allowing it to remain active for a longer period.
- Shackles Sync I: This shackle is a universal upgrade for all sinners and enhances Ninety-Nine’s normal attack by 5%. This boost is valuable for her role as a mainline sinner.
- Carmen Lucia: When activated, this shackle grants an attack bonus of 2% for each instance where Ninety-Nine experiences a 10% reduction in her max HP.
- Emotional Resonance: This shackle reduces Ninety-Nine’s energy consumption by 3 points, making it easier for her to use her skills.
- S5: The fifth shackle increases her attack by an additional 5%, further enhancing her combat prowess.
These shackles provide significant improvements to Ninety-Nine’s abilities and make her even more formidable in battle.
Farming Upgrade Resources
Next up, let’s discuss a little bit how you can actually farm the resources that are needed in order to level up the skills for promoting ninety-nine.
Mania Essence
To strengthen Ninety-Nine, players will need to farm Mania Essence, which is used to increase her physical strength. Mania Essence can be found in the dungeon called “Seed of Omen,” which has four different difficulty levels:
- Seed of Omen I: Requires players to be at least level one.
- Seed of Omen II: Requires players to be at least level 15.
- Seed of Omen III: Requires players to be at least level 35.
- Seed of Omen IV: Requires players to be at a higher level.
By conquering these different difficulty levels, players can obtain Mania Essence to enhance Ninety-Nine’s abilities.
Skill Modules
As far as leveling skills are concerned, players will need to get their hands on Skill Modules. In order to acquire the skill modules, you can first and foremost get them from the secret society, which is your guild.
Apart from that, you can also get from the Restricted Area Investigations, and the first dungeon will be opened up after you clear chapters 4-8, and it will have a total of 4 dungeon difficulties to get skill modules.
Twilight Stone Raw Ore
Other than the skill modules, players will also need to get twilight stone raw ores, which can be achieved by three main methods:
- Supply chests are typically gifted to you by the game itself.
- By clearing stories 1-2, you can either decide to raid the story chapters once, or you can go ahead and do a 10x raid to fast-farm them.
- Secret society support can also provide these raw ores.
Phase Fury Elemental Particles
Other than that, in order to phase up Ninety Nine, one of the main things that you will require will be these fury elemental particles.
One of the main ways that you can get it is through the Fury I instance, as well as by opening up the supply chest.
Arsenopyrite Concentrate
Now, arsenopyrite concentrates can actually be found by many methods. You can get your hands on them by opening the supply chests provided to you, or you can even get them from the secret society once you have formed one.
Other than that, the main story 2-12, 3-8, 4-8, 6-7, 7-8, and 8-5 will also grant the arsenopyrite concentrate.
Tentacles
Tentacles can be obtained through supply chests, clearing the main story 1-7, and by receiving support from a secret society. There are different types of tentacles, including shriveled, organic, and infected tentacles, which correspond to phases one, two, and three, respectively.
Discoins, on the other hand, can be acquired through Gold Rush domains, which come in various difficulties such as Gold Rush I, II, III, and IV. These resources are essential for upgrading and progressing in the game.
