Lacrimosa Build & Tier Rating

Lacrimosa is a A Tier S-Rank Chaos/Liquid Esper whose main job is damage / main dps / dot. Upcoming V1.1 character (after June 3, 2026). Chaos DoT specialist expected to pair well with Daffodil for double Chaos resonance. They are worth building when their element, role, or free availability solves a specific roster gap.

The rating is based on practical account value rather than raw damage alone: role compression, team fit, element coverage, and how expensive the character is to make useful. For Lacrimosa, the standout points are chaos dot damage, synergy with other chaos units, strong sustained damage profile, expected to enable new team archetypes. Because they are not a free pickup, the build should be weighed against your current pull and material plans.

In combat, Lacrimosa plays as a damage option with Chaos element coverage and Liquid arc typing. Chaos/Liquid-based DoT attacks with stacking debuffs. Ultimate applies a powerful Chaos mark that deals damage based on total DoT stacks. Passive spreads DoT effects to nearby enemies. This makes them easiest to justify when your team already supports that damage type or needs the utility attached to their kit.

Recommended teammates are Daffodil, Fadia and Haniel. If you do not own those exact characters, look for replacements that preserve the same jobs: a stable damage source, a way to amplify Chaos output, and enough survival or control to keep rotations consistent. For ready-made examples, compare the best NTE teams.

Start with ATK% / Chaos DMG / Crit Rate. ATK% / Chaos DMG / Crit Rate. Balance stats for consistent DoT application. 4-piece Chaos set. Do not over-farm perfect substats before your core team has usable gear; a stable baseline build usually gives more account progress than chasing one ideal piece.

Prioritize Lacrimosa when your account needs a damage or when Chaos coverage unlocks a better team shell. Based on vote trends, community votes are more cautious, so this pick may depend heavily on account context. Use that as a signal to test the character against your own roster instead of treating any tier placement as permanent.
