As I got Ai-Chan to SSS today, I suddenly though about something while thinking how to speedrun with her and further improve her strength.

I remembered the current weather's buff giving 50% Fire DMG upon the deployed Valkyrie dealing Physical DMG.

And this then led me to another answer that I hadn't thought of at first. Vill-V 1st Core.

Ai-Chan is one of the few valks that can perfectly make proper use of Vill-V 1st Core. And with that thought in mind, I proceeded to do the deed.

And so, here's the result. The answer that pushed Ai-Chan's strength to the highest she can output, investing less in Vill-V and yet abusing the +50% Fire DMG buff from the weather in such a simple and easy way~

In gameplay, nothing changes. Just make sure to always start every floor with Weapon Active, never fail at knocking back your Chakrams, and when using your Charged ATK, make sure to wait a bit so Aponia's Adaptive DMG can kick in right before using Weapon Active, then go straight away into Ulting.

Read below for full explanation.

12% TDM Emblem used. All Double Floors cleared. SSS Rank 1399 Atk Rudder & Idol Set Ai-Chan. In downscaling terms, do expect Ai-Chan's strength to drop considerably without her own Signature set, mainly because of how much damage her ignition does and also because of how much fire-related buffs her set gives that other Fire-related sets don't come close to.

Boss to be picked: Andrius, then Elysia (to booli her) or Vill-V

Supports Picked: AE & BR / BK
Note: You'll never swap AE out. BR on the other hand can be swapped for BK if needed for Heimdall fight. This is especially recommended due to the usage of Kalpas2 and Ai-Chan lacking good, dependable i-frames alongside being easily interrupted which then makes her really easy to be killed by Heimdall in Red Mode. Without BK, you need good skill through properly evading and making use of her only 2 i-frames in order to get past his Red Mode forcefuly.

Remembrance Sigils: Veil of Tears & The Lonely Moon OR Because of You (Can also be at F5 Shop)
Note: Pick your choice here. The Lonely Moon is the best Support Skill you can bring with you. As an alternative, you can also bring Falling in Past Light or Because of You as start instead. However, in the case of going with Because of You start, it's strongly recommended to get 2 Vill-V signets at F5 Shop and unlock V-V 1st Core at F6.

Load Buffs: Chakram User +20% TDM, Charged +20% Elem Breach

Ego Signets: Succession + Time Crystals are necessary to start with Ai-Chan. Without Time Crystals, she doesn't have damage to help her for the remainder of the run. The other 2 Ego Signets to get are Constant and Final Dream. She doesn't really need a last 5th Ego signet, it really doesn't do anything worthwhile for her nor does help Ai-Chan.

Priority of order of cores below. Note that the order will change based on your RNG portal luck. Also order of mentioned signets is their priority.

[Ideal Order from F1-F7: Double Ego start (Succession + Time Crystals) into Aponia F3 (doesn't matter if you pick First, Fourth or Fifth), finish Aponia 2nd Core by F4 with First, Fourth and Fifth, go shop F5 and use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to buy 2 or 3 Vill-V signets and 1 or 2 Kalpas signets. Proceed to finish Vill-V 1st Core by F6 and then either finish Kalpas 2nd Core by F7 Double or, if using Because of You start, take the Ego door for your remaining 2 Ego signets]

1- Aponia: Basic ATK, Ultimate, 70 Initial Load, SP Regen (Optional), 2nd Core, Breach, Penance, TDM Taken
Note: Basic ATK is high priority to +3. Do make sure to get Breach at least before Heimdall fight, it's very important. Also, please do note that you have to let Aponia's Adaptive DMG hit everytime before you keep halvening the load constantly with Weapon Active. You can afterwards grab SP Regen signet to better help with the Load halvening problems.

2- Vill-V: Magic, Spider Web, Pendulum, Conflict, 1st Core
Note: You finish Vill-V 1st Core and you don't invest any more in it. Move forward onto the rest of the core signets instead.

3- Kalpas: TDM, Phys/Elem DMG, TDM Taken, Max HP%, 2nd Core

4- Griseo: Red & Hot, Black & Dark, Yellow & Warm, Blue & Cold, 2nd Core, Petals in the Wind, Fallen Leaves, A Flame Extinguished (Optional)
Note: Red is highest priority to +3. Yellow is good to +3. Strongly recommended to use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse for Red.

5- Hua: TDM, Elem DMG, Elem Breach, 2nd Core, Broken Dream (Optional)
Note: You can build Hua2 before Griseo2 if you want to, but that will depend on whether you get 2 Hua signets from shop and can unlock her at next door or not.

6- Pardofelis: Max HP/SP
