Vortex Gaming

· Scarak's environmental changes have primarily come through combo discovery.
· A high-multiplier combo based on 2 Normal Attacks followed by a Dash was found, improving DPS without changing party composition.
· However, within the scope of general operational proficiency, it's not a significant enough increase to dramatically alter her standing in the meta.
· With the arrival of Columbina, Scarak can function as a skill-completion type with Sehan Ryusatsu, providing decent sub-DPS, but it's not the optimal choice, and its use cases are rare outside of Hydro reaction teams.
· From her release, she could be used as a sub-DPS in Freeze teams, but that role has now been passed on to characters like Navia, Mavika, Mado, and Ikoro.

· In the party, trigger Freeze to generate 'Hime', then use Scarak's Skill followed by Normal Attacks.
· Absorbing Hime with a Charged Attack or Burst during the combo extends the Skill's duration.
· The typical rotation is Furina Skill/Burst → Escoffier Skill/Burst → prepare other characters → Scarak Skill followed by attacks.

· Basic Combo: 2 Normal Attacks Burst, 5 Normal Attacks Dash, 5 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Charged Attack Dash, 5 Normal Attacks Dash, 5 Normal Attacks.
· Discovered Combos: The optimal combo varies depending on factors like frame rate, playing environment, and mouse performance. You should find a high-multiplier combination that suits your operational proficiency and reproducibility.
· Scarak immediately enters a Charged Attack animation if the attack button is held down, so a shorter hold time for the attack button shortens the Normal Attack animation.
· Faster rapid clicks shorten the interval between Normal Attacks, and maximizing this may require techniques like 'Twitter clicking' or 'butterfly clicking'.
· Skill activation also varies depending on the hold time.
· Example Combo using 5 Normal Attacks: 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Burst, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 5 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Charged Attack, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 5 Normal Attacks.
· You can also bring the Burst timing forward, placing the first 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks at the end.
· This combo shows approximately a 7% DPS increase over the basic combo and is good for most users to utilize.
· Example Combo using 3 Normal Attacks Walk Cancel: 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 3 Normal Attacks Walk Cancel.
· You can repeat this set twice, or insert 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Dash, 2 Normal Attacks Charged Attack in between, creating various patterns.
· 5 Normal Attacks Dash and 3 Normal Attacks Walk Cancel are for avoiding dash cooldown and managing stamina; there's little difference, so choose the method you find more comfortable.
· 3 Normal Attacks Walk Cancel is performed by briefly stopping rapid clicks and holding down a directional key or tapping it 2-3 times.
· Both methods can be used in conjunction, and ultimately, it's ideal to find the combination that yields the highest multiplier through 'time mirror' (likely a practice tool or method).
· If you have more input leeway, you can reduce 5 Normal Attacks to 4 Normal Attacks and add 2 Normal Attacks, or simply add 2 Normal Attacks to increase the multiplier.
· In practice, it's best to choose based on reproducibility and compatibility with the enemy.
· Combo Considerations: Using high-multiplier combos to their absolute end doesn't always lead to higher DPS. Buffs tend to expire in the latter half of combos, so skipping the last hit to shorten the rotation often results in higher DPS or no significant difference.

· You can pre-hold the Skill to prepare for Burst use, then apply buffs with other characters, use the Burst, and follow up with Skill and Normal Attacks.
· This rotation is slightly longer than a Normal Attack-only rotation, but it increases DPR (Damage Per Rotation), making it powerful when you want to defeat an enemy quickly or have leeway due to enemy invincibility phases.
· It's also possible to reapply buffs and continue with Normal Attacks. Scarak is a character that can be played in various ways by utilizing her Burst, so it's recommended to try different approaches.

· Witness Scarak's powerful damage output through a practical example of an Ultimate Party with Shenhe.
· A practical example of an Extra Party with Citrali demonstrates a stable damage cycle.
· A practical example of an Extra Party with Mona showcases gameplay utilizing a Burst co-use rotation. More specialized rotations involving Mona will be introduced if the opportunity arises in the future.
