Burning Reaction Scaling
Burning triggers every 0.25s when Pyro and Dendro coexist, dealing Dendro damage that scales with EM and character level. Benefits from:
- Dendro DMG bonuses
- Dendro RES shred (Deepwood)
- Dendro Resonance: +30 EM for 6s after triggering
RES shred applies multiplicatively; Elemental DMG bonuses apply additively with diminishing returns.

Direct Comparison
Damage Difference Summary
| Setup | Per Rotation Gain | DPS Increase |
|---|---|---|
| Deepwood on Mavuika | +87,143 | Baseline |
| Scroll on Mavuika | +228,572 | +5-8% vs Deepwood |
Variables affecting outcome:
- Kinich investment (higher = more Deepwood value)
- Mavuika investment (higher = more Scroll value)
- Enemy RES (30%+ favors Deepwood)
- Rotation execution (Scroll more forgiving)
Spiral Abyss Floor 12 Testing
- Standard RES enemies: Scroll clears 8% faster
- Multi-target: Scroll clears 3-5% faster
- High RES enemies: Deepwood essential, reverses advantage
Situational Recommendations
Use Scroll When:
- Emilie holds Deepwood (best configuration)
- Enemies have ≤10% Dendro RES
- You have quality Scroll pieces (20+ CV per piece)
- General-purpose team building
Use Deepwood When:
- No other character can hold it
- Enemies have 30%+ Dendro RES
- Existing Deepwood pieces have superior substats (25+ CV advantage)
- Emilie unavailable
Optimal Configuration
Best setup: Emilie holds Deepwood, Mavuika holds Scroll
- Kinich receives RES shred
- Mavuika maximizes personal damage
- Total team DPS optimized
Alternative Distributions
Emilie as Deepwood Holder
Ideal solution—minimal personal damage sacrifice, consistent 4pc trigger, frees Mavuika for Scroll.
Bennett Considerations
Can hold Deepwood but sacrifices Noblesse Oblige ATK buff. Only viable if artifact quality difference exceeds 30 CV.
Hybrid 2-Piece Builds
Transitional only. 4pc with 15-18 CV/piece outperforms 2pc combinations with 20+ CV/piece due to powerful set bonuses.
Optimal Stats
Mavuika with Deepwood
Priority: ER (160-180%) > CR (60-70%) > CD (150-180%) > ATK% (2000+) > EM
Main stats: ATK% Sands / Pyro Goblet / CRIT Circlet
Mavuika with Scroll
Priority: CR (60-70%) > CD (180-200%) > ER (140-160%) > ATK% (2000+) > EM
Main stats: ATK% Sands / Pyro Goblet / CRIT Circlet
Kinich (Unchanged)
Optimal set: Obsidian Codex 4pc
- Target: 2000 ATK, 50% CR, 200% CD
- With Deepwood support: Minimize EM, maximize CRIT
- With Scroll support: 100-150 EM for Burning enhancement
Materials: 420,000 Mora, Nagadus Emerald (1/9/9/6), 168 Saurian Claw Succulents, Fangs (18/30/36), 46 Overripe Flamegranates Talents: 4,957,500 Mora, 3 Crowns, 18 Denial and Judgment, 114 Philosophies of Kindling
Energy Requirements
- Mavuika (Scroll): 140-160% ER
- Mavuika (Deepwood): 160-180% ER
- Kinich: 120-140% ER
- Bennett: 180-200% ER (160-180% with Favonius)
Common Mistakes
Myth: Supports Always Hold Deepwood
Wrong. Deepwood should go on whoever applies it consistently with least damage sacrifice. Emilie ideal, not automatically Mavuika.
Underestimating Mavuika's Damage
Her 359 base ATK and 88.4% CD enable 15-20% of team damage. Sacrificing this for Deepwood loses DPS unless Kinich's gain compensates.
Ignoring Burning Damage
Contributes 10-15% of total team damage over 20s rotations. Continuous ticks accumulate substantially despite low per-hit values.
Set Bonus vs Substats
4pc set needs 25-30 CV advantage to justify using over superior substats. Don't use 4pc with <15 CV/piece unless irreplaceable utility.
Rotation Optimization
Deepwood Setup (22s)
- Bennett Burst (2s) - ATK buff
- Emilie Skill (1s) - Dendro application
- Mavuika Skill (1s) - Trigger Deepwood, apply Pyro
- Kinich Skill (1s) - Enter Nightsoul
- Kinich damage phase (10s) - Scalespiker attacks
- Mavuika Burst (3s) - Sub DPS
- Emilie Burst (2s) - Additional damage
- Repeat
Critical: Mavuika Skill within 2s before Kinich phase for 8s coverage.
Scroll Setup (20s)
- Bennett Burst (2s)
- Emilie Skill (1s) - Trigger Deepwood if she holds it
- Mavuika Skill (1s) - Trigger Scroll Nightsoul buff
- Kinich Skill (1s)
- Kinich damage phase (10s)
- Mavuika Burst (3s) - Maximize with 40% buff active
- Emilie Burst (2s)
- Repeat
Advantage: 20s buff duration allows flexible Burst timing.
Investment Priority
New Players
- Farm Obsidian Codex for Kinich (shares domain with Scroll)
- Build Scroll for Mavuika (general-purpose value)
- Farm Deepwood only if needed for matchups
Veterans
Farm both sets to 20+ CV standards for matchup-specific swapping. Investment: 3-4 weeks condensed resin per set.
F2P Strategy
Focus Sanctum of Rainbow Spirits (Scroll + Obsidian Codex) for dual efficiency. Use quality 4★ artifacts (20+ CV) over poor 5★ pieces (10-12 CV).

FAQ
Should Mavuika use Deepwood in Kinich teams?
Only if Emilie can't hold it. Scroll provides 5-8% higher team DPS when another character provides RES shred.
Which set is better for Mavuika with Kinich?
Scroll of the Hero in most scenarios. 40% Elemental DMG Bonus outweighs Deepwood's RES shred against standard 10% RES enemies.
How much damage loss with wrong sets?
Deepwood instead of Scroll: -5-8% team DPS. Scroll when no one has Deepwood: -8-10% team DPS.
Does Kinich need Deepwood?
No. Kinich uses Obsidian Codex. Another teammate (Emilie) should provide Deepwood's RES shred.
Who should wear Deepwood in Kinich teams?
Emilie—minimal personal damage sacrifice, consistent application, frees Kinich and Mavuika for optimal sets.
How does RES shred affect Kinich damage?
10% RES enemies: +12.5% damage. 30% RES enemies: +42.86% damage. Scales with enemy base resistance.
