Don't let the clear time of this one being a bit slower than Ult build deceive you. Because, this build is much, much stronger than it seems.

A few things to note here.

Just like in her other build; here, this build also shares the same problem of being rather weak in the Early floors. However, SSS VQ solves this issue; which brings me to something else. In comparison to Ult Build, this one is actually way stronger; only being held back by the HUGE, massive buff that the SSS rank skill gives to Susannah's Combo DMG.

So the point is, at SS rank, both builds are equal in strength with Ultimate slightly winning. But at SSS Rank, Combo Build completely outclasses it.

Now, this build is also rather braindead and very simple and comfy to play. However, this build requires positioning mainly due to how the gather that Luster provides works, and also because Susannah barely has I-frames to hold onto with this one, meaning that she can noticeably struggle against Heimdall's Red mode attacks if you allow Heimdall to break your Hua shields and also destroying your Hua stacks. So, it's very necessary to bring BK against Heimdall and not be too skill issued as to let this happen.

The gameplay for this build is also simple. It's really just Active into Combo spam and repeat.
You never utilize Ultimate in this build other than a few specific cases where you can consider using it:
-2F if you want to clear it fast.
-Heimdall due to the current weather in order to get rid of the DMG Reduction.
-Couatl's 2nd phase to Collapse him.

Read below for full explanation.

12% TDM Emblem used. SS0 Rank 1447 ATK Lustrous Bloom & Aladdin VQ. When it comes to downscalability, Susannah's options are probably rather poor compared to other Valkyries' options. This is mainly due to VQ damage not critting making it so that she can't use very well certain options like Dante M. I might try VQ with copium farmable gears, but I don't expect her performance to go too well.

Boss to take: Couatl, then Elysia (fastest), Vill-V or Aponia.

Supports Picked: SS & BR (F6+) / BK / SN (Couatl Fight)
Note: You never swap SS out. BR will be your support for almost all the run until Heimdall where it's absolutely necessary to bring BK if VQ is not SSS rank; this is due to her lacking damage and absence of the ability to break Heimdall's shields paired with her almost non-existent I-frames in this build makes Heimdall a pain to deal without BK.

Remembrance Sigils: Memory & The Lonely Moon OR Falling in Past Light
Note: Hua is currently the best start for Susannah due to +2 and thanks to the +1 on the first 5 signets you get, easily allowing to get her signets at +3 without using Hometown. TLM is really helpful here as well; though you can also make the choice of running Falling in Past Light instead, this is more of a comfy choice.TLM will also help if you do get lucky to get Red Paint at F6 Shop to have it at either +2 or +3 (if using 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse)

Load Buffs: 10% TDM Taken for every Bleed Stack, Combo ATK +20% Elem Breach & 20% Melee TDM.

Ego Signets: Dazzling Shade + Luster are the main signets of this build. Luster is a must-get by F2 Ego reset to make the build work, otherwise it has no damage. Rarities is completely optional; it's not necessary, but it's nice to have and will particularly strengthen Pardofelis' signets while also making Pardo2 stronger if you want it over 1st Core.

[Ideal course of build up: 2 Ego Start (Dazzling Shade + Luster) into Hua TDM by F3, finish Hua 2nd Core by F4 Double, grab Broken Dream F5, go shop F6 and use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to grab Griseo's Red at +3 and Vill-V's either Conflict or Pendulum, then finish V-V 2nd Core by F7 Double]

1- Hua: TDM, Phys DMG, Phys Breach, 2nd Core, Broken Dream

2- Vill-V: Conflict, Pendulum, Spoon, Magic (Optional), 2nd Core, Drama, Puppetry (Optional, interchangeable)
Note: I strongly recommend to use 3* Remembrance Sigil Abuse to get Drama at either +1 (with only FPL) or +2 (with FPL and Faraway Ship). Drama is highest priority to +3. Puppetry can be ignored for Aponia's Breach which is stronger.

3- Aponia: Basic ATK, 70 Initial Load, SP Regen OR DMG Reduction, 2nd Core, Breach, Penance, TDM Taken (Optional)
Note: Basic ATK is high priority to +3. You can choose between SP Regen or DMG Reduction; the latter will be helpful against Heimdall if you lose your Hua2 shield. Breach is more valuable than Vill-V's Puppetry.

4- Pardofelis: TDM, Phys/Elem DMG, Shiny & Valuable, Merchant's Philosophy, 1st Core OR 2nd Core
If 2nd Core: Grab Snowy Paw and Improv Magic: Zeroing if you want.

5- Griseo: Red, Black, Blue, 2nd Core, Petals
Note: Red is highest priority to +3 and a must-get ASAP if you can. Black is also good to +3. Petals is very good if you can manage to get it.

6- Eden (Felis Shop Signets): TDM, Phys/Elem DMG
