Review
Celince is a rather unique Animus, combining powerful, but niche and hard to land debuffs and a recurring Shield that is refreshed every turn, but isn’t as big as most other dedicated shielders in exchange.
Celince’s S2 is a passive, applying a unique [Aqua Shield] to all allies at the end of each of her turns as long as she’s not Hard CCed, which functions quite differently from other Shields. This Shield can only ever absorb half of the damage inflicted on the protected Animus, meaning that without other sources of protection, the Animus always suffers at least 50% of the blow directly to their HP. This is critical, as it means that a low Health unit can potentially die from a hit even though the shield is active on them. As a trade-off, 85% of the damage mitigated by the shield is directly reflected to the attacker, and this damage is not affected by the enemy’s Affinity, DEF or an ATK- on Celince.
Celince’s S3 is where her strong Debuffs are, in the form of a 4-hit AOE that can apply both [ATK-] and [Forgetfulness], the latter preventing any Passive effect from triggering. This applies to Passive Skills (like Celince’s own S2 for example) but also any Passive component usually found on Skill 1s, for example Tiamat’s, Freya’s or even Heinrich’s. Her S1, although pretty good, is mostly there to fill the gap in her rotation when her S3 is on cooldown or you simply don’t want to waste it on immune enemies, with it having a below average chance to apply two debuffs among [DoT], [Silence] and [Forgetfulness].
In PVE, Celince is a very strong pick for Dokidoki, offering both the much-needed [Damage Reduction] disable but also [ATK-] and recurring Shields. In the rest of the content, Celince is more of a Support/Defensive Debuffer as her [Forgetfulness] Debuff doesn’t work on most Bosses.
In PVP however, Celince shines as a versatile pick: a very high HP and fast Celince can return an AOE right back at the enemy, possibly one shotting their nuker. She can also be played in slower, sturdier setups, with the goal of constantly preventing the enemy from unleashing their potential.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Has multiple strong effects to bring to Dokidoki.
Offers recurring protection without pressing a Skill.
A surprising amount of Animus rely on passive effects, and more are certain to be released.
Very high uptime with her low CD.
Can one shot a carry through reflect.
Cons
Cleanse and Immunity are abundant.
The shield offers average protection.
Dying with the shield on does not activate the reflect damage.

Best Build
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
Best Shells
1
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
The go-to Shell for Celince that allows her to cycle faster in longer battles - this also helps with her S2 as the often she moves, the faster she can apply/refresh her Shield. If you already have a Speed buffer in your team though, the value of Jackal Guard drops quite a bit, but since Timeweave is present there, it's still worth using in longer PVE battles.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
>Bloodbath [12/12]![Matrix]()
>Timeweave [12/12]![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bulwark [8/8]
![Matrix]()
>Swiftrush [8/12]![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]
![Matrix]()
You can use
- 12 set: Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: Bramble [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: None - early one you can't use an Inferno set.
Specialist Shells
Below you can find some alternative Shells you can use - though it's mainly for PVP scenarios.
1
When the owner Animus is about to die, halves their current Turn Meter, removes all effects on them, recovers 60% of their Max HP, and puts them into a 1-turn [Iced] state.,
The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.
Allows the wearer to cheat death once every 6 turns. Upon dying, they will instead recover 60% HP and enter a special state, becoming immune to turn meter reductions, debuffs, buffs, and also gaining 200% increased DEF until the start of their next turn. A powerful option for keeping vulnerable high-value units alive in PVP.
2
Before the owner takes action, if the owner has any debuffs, dispels 2 debuff(s) and increases their Effect RES by 25% for every 1 debuff(s) dispelled, lasting for 2 turn(s).
A PVP-focused shell option offering a 2-turn debuff cleanse and up to 50% Effect RES at turn start with a 4-turn cooldown. A solid option for characters who need to ensure they aren’t taken out of the fight by stuns, freezes, or other debilitating effects on their opening turn.
3
Before the owner takes action, deals 2 hit(s) of 100% +2500 damage to the target with the highest ATK and extends the duration of non-control debuffs inflicted by the owner this turn by 1 turn(s) (excluding [DoT]), then increases the owner Animus's Effect ACC by 50% in the current turn.
A strong supportive option for debuff-focused characters. On use, the Shell grants 50% Effect ACC and causes any non-control and non-DoT debuffs applied during the turn it's activated to be extended by one turn. This shell also deals a non-negligible amount of damage with its 2 hits on use. A top choice for any character looking to improve uptime and accuracy for their debuffs.
Module Calcs/Information
Below you can find the calculations for specific module sets - split per slot. Click on the dropdown to reveal the information. The % comparison are made against no set equipped.
1
6/12: Effect ACC +18%
12/12: Effect ACC +18%. At the start of the turn, there is a 35% chance to reduce CD of all Animus skills by 1 turn.
A potent specialist option for supports, allowing cooldown times to occasionally be reduced. Though requiring 12 Matrixes to fully activate puts it in conflict with the universal 12P Swiftrush set, forcing you to skip on the full effect of Swiftrush, opting for 12P Timeweaver 8P Swiftrush and 6P inferno instead. Timeweave allows to cycle the skills faster, especially early on when you don't have them leveled up - so they have very long cooldowns.
2
4/12: SPD +8%
8/12: SPD +20%
12/12: SPD +35%
The go-to set for most Supports thanks to its massive Speed boost, allowing for faster cycling and priority in the initial turn order.
3
6/12: Effect RES +18%
12/12: Effect RES +18%. When the total DMG taken in a turn exceeds 20% of Max HP, the excess DMG is additionally reduced by 55%.
Exceptional anti-burst defensive set, most notably used in PVP to prevent enemies from one-shotting your team with aggressive combo compositions. It can also be used in specific PvE encounters, but it is far more niche.
8 Piece sets:
1
4/12: SPD +8%
8/12: SPD +20%
12/12: SPD +35%
The go-to set for most Supports thanks to its massive Speed boost, allowing for faster cycling and priority in the initial turn order. 8-PC Swiftrush is enough for PVE, because the value of Timeweave is that big.
2
4/8: HP +10%
8/8: HP +10%. At the start of each wave of battle, grants Immunity for 1 turn. Immunity = [Cannot be inflicted with any debuff].
Grants immunity to the wearer at the start of battle, protecting them from controlling effects. Primarily used in PVP to counter control compositions dominating your team - more of a niche pick in PVE.
3
4/8: DEF +10%
8/8: DEF +10%. After being attacked, advances Turn Meter by 10%.
A powerful specialist option for Supports and, in some cases, DPS characters. When used in PVP, it can allow you to ‘catch up’ against teams that move before you, giving you a chance to fight back. In PvE, it can be a strong gauge boosting tool in fights against many enemies or bosses that hit your team incredibly frequently.
1
6/6: SPD +15% & Effect ACC +20%
The go-to option for most supports, thanks to its presence on many of the best supportive Shells and the strong SPD and Effect ACC it grants. Can be used on some DPS setups if Shell requirements demand it.
Best Stats
Substats:
SPD (Until Desired) > Effect ACC (Until Desired) >= HP% > Flat HP
Stat comments
Celince has three stats to pay attention to across gear:
- SPD: Speed is the most important stat for any debuffer as it will allow them to cycle faster in combat and use their skills more often.
- Effect ACC: Effect ACC will increase the chance for Celince to land her debuffs making it a must-build stat. Prioritize it on her right side module pieces.
- HP%: Some bulk will help them survive longer, but SPD and Effect ACC have higher priority. While the shield on S2 seems tempting, investing into HP at the cost of Effect ACC might hurt you in content where enemies have high Effect RES.
- DEF%: Grab some DEF where you can - it's important part of the damage formula.
Shell Passives
Slot 1
HP% > HP > DEF% > DEF
Slot 2
SPD > Effect ACC
Slot 3
Effect ACC (Gaze) > Effect ACC (Insight) > DMG Taken
Passive comments
- Slot 1: HP% is optimal, but if you're lacking in materials Flat HP can also be used. If you get DEF% or DEF of higher rarity, keep it though for now.
- Slot 2: Speed is better in most situations, but if you roll Effect ACC you can keep it for some time.
- Slot 3: The stacking Effect ACC buff granted by Gaze is great and it becomes better the longer the fight lasts. Though, if you're running one-shot teams (or PVP a lot), you can consider using Insight instead as the fights are shorter and it gives you better boost initially. If you value defense though, you may want to use a defensive slot 3.
