Surprise, surprise!

Having been long forgotten ever since the moment Aponia2 and Vill-V2 came into existence, making way for the Guardian Form to be born for ER PE and overtaking the throne that Knight Form used to occupy first, the moment for the once-king one and only build that PE had since her release to truly shine once again, has come.

Having faded into the non-existence of once a well-known star but becoming a dying star upon being outclassed by the comfiness and easeness of Guardian Form, Juan is ready to make a return.

And thus, Juan returns to bask once again on its past glory, even though its peak is long gone.

Or.. is it? This is about as strong as this build was back in the day of HoDominion getting absolutely destroyed by PE!

Okay, so, for gameplay purposes. There are a few things to be noted that need to be clear. Unlike Guardian Form, this build has a rather annoying and glaring weakness.

It's very dependant on gather. Since this build is focused on single-target damage due to the nature of how PE's Charged ATK works, you need gather. And then, make sure your Charged ATK is hitting ALL gathered enemies. While it's possible for PE to reposition herself during the Charge so that she can control the direction where the Charge will go, this is very important to micromanage in order to actually make sure you're not wasting your DPS potential. This is important especially for Double Bonus floors if you want to make sure you'll get them.

The Charged ATK also sadly can sometimes miss its Elite Thrust, making for another painful DPS loss. It also won't hit enemies that are way too high in the air.

More gameplay explained in comment.

Read below for full explanation.

12% TDM Emblem used. All Double Floors cleared. S0 Rank 1403 ATK Midnight Ataegina & BiankaT PE. In downscalability terms, while PE can use stigs like Elysia TB and Dirac M, you can expect her performance to probably not be as comparable as full BiankaT, but nonetheless she should work well. Other weapons, though... that's one sad PE.

Boss to be picked: Husk Mysticism, then Elysia, Aponia or Vill-V.

Supports Picked: SN / BK / BR & SS
Note: SN and SS are your staple supports during almost all the run. SN not only provides an useful gather on a 30s CD but also 15% TDM. Gallop Build's weakness is that it's very gather-reliant aside from positioning for the Charge, so you won't wanna go without SN. For Heimdall, make sure to bring BK. Then, for Husk Mysticism fight, you can swap SN out for BR.

Remembrance Sigils: Memory & Hometown / The Lonely Moon
Note: Hometown is essential to get Hua's 3 signets at +3 right away. By F6 Shop, you swap it out immediately for The Lonely Moon.

Load Buffs: 100/125 SP spent 10%/20% TDM Taken, Deployed Valk +15% TDM until Hit OR Time-Slowed +15% TDM
Note: Whichever of the 10 doesn't matter; both can have the same consistency, but you can go with the Time-Slowed one if you don't have confidence in avoiding being hit.

Ego Signets: Gallop + Abyssal Chant are a given must-start. It is strongly recommended to bald for F2 Ego start in order to get your 3rd Ego signet, Equinox, which will massively give a powerspike to this build's potential and strength.

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: 3 Ego Start (Gallop + Abyssal Chant + Equinox) into Hua's Phys Breach F3, finish Hua 2nd Core by F4 Double, grab Broken Dream F5 and go shop F6, use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to buy EITHER Griseo's Red Paint or both of Kalpas' DMG boost signets. If not lucky, one of them and Aponia's Basic ATK, then finish either Kalpas 2nd Core or Aponia 2nd Core by F7 Double based on what you got and can finish.]

1- Hua: Phys Breach, TDM, Phys DMG, 2nd Core, Broken Dream
Note: 2nd Core provides a massive powerspike, and Broken Dream further intensifies that powerspike.

2- Aponia: Basic ATK, SP Regen, 70 Initial Load, Ultimate, 2nd Core, Breach, Penance, TDM Taken
Note: Basic ATK is high priority to +3. Ultimate is also very good to +3. When you have Basic, use Active until Aponia2 hits, then go into Knight Form. When you also get Ultimate afterwards, you can just Active (only if you already have Griseo's Red Paint) then go into Knight Form straight away.

3- Kalpas: TDM, Phys/Elem DMG, Max HP%, TDM Taken, 2nd Core.
Note: All 4 of Kalpas' signets are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to get with 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse. Getting them this way will be a really massive powerspike for PE.

4- Griseo: Red, Black, Yellow, Blue, Grey (Optional), 2nd Core, Petals in the Wind, Fallen Leaves
Note: Red is highest priority to +3. Yellow is good to +3, even more if you get Grey afterwards. Black is nice to have at +2 from 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse, which in turn is also strongly recommended for getting Petals and Fallen Leaves both at +2.

5- Sakura (Felis Shop Signets): TDM Taken, TDM, 1 Extra UE Charge (Optional)
