This guide assumes players use her PRI-ARM over other weapons. Players who have not yet reached level 81 should read Best Weapons for Fervent Tempo Δ | Honkai Impact 3rd (akalajian.wixsite.com) for all the details on which weapons to use and why.
Fervent Tempo: Delta (or just Delta) has become one of the best Elysian Realm Valkyries with her addition to the roster in 5.8. Her kit surrounds her ultimate and charged attacks, but the signets providing the most damage are not Kevin or Hua this time. Due to low SP costs and short cooldowns on her weapon active, Aponia can provide a lot of damage in all situations regardless of the player’s ability to avoid damage and having good ultimate upkeep.
Before getting into the meat and potatoes, though, Elysia’s signets must be covered. Unlike some characters who can finish a good run without extra signets, Delta relies on most of her signets. Blessing of Silence is the best signet to start with since it reduces her ultimate cooldown while increasing its Total DMG by a lot. It also helps keep her weapon active cooldown lower, allowing players to benefit from signet sets like Aponia and Vill-V. Blessing of Mixing is also significant, giving Delta a way to keep enemies close so players do not have to chase them down while providing a significant increase in damage output. The other 3 do not matter as much but should be chosen in this order: Blessing of Fervor, Blessing of Solitude, then Blessing of Thorns. Players should avoid Blessing of Thorns if possible, as it disrupts the flow of combat without providing meaningful buffs.
Delta’s primary source of damage is going to come from Aponia signets. The best ones to choose are Third, No Brutality, and Fourth, No Insolence, which increases SP regeneration and ultimate damage. This will help ultimate upkeep, which allows players to benefit more from the Elysia signets while providing its own damage increase. Fifth, No Falsehood also serves to provide large damage buffs whenever players exist with other Aponia signets, along with First, No Betrayal, which buffs Basic ATK damage. Aponia’s core signet You Shall Receive Disciplines’ Blessing strengthens the basic signets while providing its own large damage buff, making it very important to get over any other signet. All of her enhanced signets are important, but players should choose You Shall Follow Good first because of its physical breach buffs.
Delta can also benefit from Griseo signets since she uses her skills and ultimate often to replenish paint. Players can choose Red & Hot or Yellow & Warm since Delta uses weapon activities and ultimates often, though choosing both is important later on. Black and Dark is also very important because of its elemental breach buffs, making this trio of signets essential to get after players get the important Aponia signets. Griseo’s core signet Faded Stars is the best, providing Total DMG bonuses for each color of paint on an enemy, along with adding new colors of paint depending on the enhanced signet. The only one of those recommended is A Flame Extinguished, as it uses the not-useless colors (blue) while reducing the enemies’ physical defense. Players can also choose the basic signet White & Bright if they struggle with SP regeneration.
The rest of the signets on this list are extras and do not need as much focus as the other two sets.
Kevin is the best choice for extra signets. Mask of the Predator and Goblet of the Giver increase physical breach and Total DMG when players use an ultimate. Players can also use Pendant of the Watcher and Rochet of the Pilgrim for extra Physical DMG and SP Regen, though they are not as important. If players get enough basic signets for the core signet, then Blade of the Deliverer is the best choice. Any enhancements players come across should be picked up.
Vill-V signets also work well as extra signets, with Act 1: Magic being the best choice as it provides stacking DMG buffs when players use a weapon active. The rest are okay, but players should avoid Act 4: Spoon and Act 5: Spider Web since they do not provide meaningful buffs to Delta. If players reach the core signet, they should not choose any enhancements beyond it.
That wraps up the signets, so time for the sigils and supports.
The best support Valkyries are always Lightning Empress and Starlit Astrologos, as they increase SP Regen and Physical DMG, while Starlit Astrologos helps to group up enemies.
For Sigils, players should carry Veil of Tears until they have all the important Aponia signets, then switch to Rainbow of Absence until they have all the important Griseo signets. If they have great luck and get all of them early, switch to Burden unless it is Floor 16, then switch to Faraway Ship. For the second signet, players should carry Because of You until they have the important Elysia signets, and then switch to Falling in Past Light.
Good luck Captains!
