Nice follow up guide! I've played this build for ~6 months before and it's a really fun and complex build with a high ceiling for both damage and skill expression. Definitely recommend people to try it out 🙏 So I tested the balance rotation at 00:15 after watching the video and the damage seem to be the exact same, if not slightly worse with this rotation. Tried balance + moon too but got the same result. (30s boundless with no cards) Balance + snake is definitely a nice combo but don't think the card has any value otherwise...
It’s more useful in 440, becuz you can alternate between dealer’s flip and scratch dealer without delay. I still think it’s a good rotation for this build because for basic rotation you need to wait for scratch dealer cooldown for 3rd ruin hit whereas that rotation allows you to hit 3 ruin skills a little bit early. It’s not a huge difference but your ruin skill damage window is more condensed. Also grouping 3 ruins together vs 2 ruins together you can more easily hit all 3 ruin skills within a 4s damage card window. But when you try to force the transition to this rotation and drags your skills cd it’s a dps loss. But would love to see someone from the west who can take a very close look and analyze how efficient the rotation is compared to the basic rotation using tools they got.
Thank you so much for the guide it feels like I’ve struck a Goldmine. I have been searching Korean guides for Empress, but couldn’t find one like yours. I wonder if you’re Korean.
ive been maining arcana since class release in the west and the bit about using wheel of fortune on spiral edge to transition your rotation during balance/snake just rocked my world. awesome note 2 questions 1. how do i know if my animation canceling is working? 2. can you please make an impression/guide of empress in t4 maybe detailing if we need to prep anything? :)))))) youre a beast!
yea recently I've been using wheel on edge a lot. I think it's very good in magick addiction state, and when there's balance card I use it on SD. T4 stuff coming soon(?) it's gonna take a while for me to unlock full ark passive
I have been playing empress arcana for ~2 years now. I play with 2 crit synergies in my party consistently. Can swift/spec necklace and bracelet be used to subsitute for high level cooldown gems?

Do you have an opinion on 242 return build?
Can you show what the animation cancels look like for the basic skills? I can't tell if I'm doing it correctly, thanks!

you can use spec swift bracelet but I suggest spec crit necklace. Arcana's crit damage multiplier is pretty huge, crit rate is quite important for dmg
