[New Title] Ruins-Dominated: In-Depth Analysis of the Powerful Support Damage Dealer in Natsuki Shizuka’s Playstyle

Mnemosyne Summer Soul In-Depth Guide: Dominate the Ruins with Style!
Fellows, today we’re discussing a character who will make you shine in the ruins—Summer Soul! This 5-star Anemo (Wind) Resonance Rifle user is arguably the strongest support-dealer in the current version. She not only deals damage from the backline but also provides powerful buffs for her teammates, making her a must-have in any squad.
First, let’s get familiar with Summer Soul’s basics. She’s a 5-star Anemo Resonance Rifle user positioned as a Sub-DPS and support. She might remind you of certain paper characters, but trust us, she’s way more powerful.
Summer Soul’s combat mechanics are simple but incredibly effective. She applies the Aero Erosion effect through her basic attacks, Resonance Skills, and Resonance Burst. Her Encore skill then amplifies this effect, drastically increasing the damage enemies take. Additionally, her Resonance Circuit can gather enemies, making it easier for your team to land multi-hit combos.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s dive into how to build this powerhouse.

Skill Priority: As a support-dealer, her Resonance Burst and Resonance Circuit are top priority and should be maxed. Basic Attacks and Resonance Skills come next, while Encore can be left at a lower level.

Weapons: Since she relies on dealing damage, crit rate is crucial. Her signature weapon, The Lullaby of the Woods, is the best choice with its 36% crit rate and damage-boosting effect. If you don’t have it, Smoke on the Stop or Dance of Death are solid alternatives.

Stigmata Sets: Summer Soul has two main Stigmata sets:

The Empty Sky of Flowing Clouds: Designed for Anemo teams, it massively boosts Anemo damage.
The Light Cloud and Crescent Moon: Ideal if you don’t have other Anemo Resonancers, as it enhances the next Resonancer’s attack through Encore.

For beginners, a mix of The Empty Sky of Flowing Clouds and The Valley of Howling Winds is a cost-effective option that balances damage and efficiency.

Stigmata Main & Sub Stats: Prioritize crit rate or crit damage, followed by Anemo damage bonus and attack %. Secondary stats should focus on crit rate, crit damage, Resonance Efficiency, and attack %.

Team Composition: Summer Soul shines in Aero Erosion and Light Noise teams:

Aero Erosion Team: Pair her with Phoebe and Wanderer (Anemo) to maximize Aero Erosion effects.
Light Noise Team: Combine her with Phoebe and Xanthe for a devastating combo of Aero Erosion and Light Noise.

If resources are limited, a budget team with Summer Soul, Wanderer (Anemo), and Bai Ji can still deliver solid performance.
That’s it for our Summer Soul guide! Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, this guide should help you unlock her full potential. If you haven’t pulled her yet, don’t lose hope—keep going, and soon you’ll be dual-wielding your way through the ruins, carrying your team to victory!
Keep it up, fellows!
