Understanding the Rappa + Asta + Lynx Composition
Rappa + Asta + Lynx exploits Stage 3's Sky-Shrouding Stardevourer Swarm (Physical/Ice/Quantum/Imaginary weaknesses). Boss has Steadfast Safeguard: -50% damage until Weakness Break, then +100% vulnerability. Rappa's Enhanced Basic delivers 60% Imaginary Break DMG to all enemies, ignoring Weakness Type—perfect for Physical and Imaginary exploitation simultaneously.
Asta provides +50 SPD (2 turns, Level 10 Ultimate) and +70% ATK (5 stacks × 14%). Lynx heals 12% Max HP + 320 single-target, Ultimate dispels 1 debuff per character while restoring 13.5% Max HP + 360. Three-character setup leaves one slot empty for maximum SP generation—Asta's Skill generates +1 SP per use.

Why This Works for Stage 3
Stage 3 unlocks after Grim Film of Finality in Dreamflux Reef. Resets every 6 weeks (Monday 04:00, next: 2025/12/22). Rewards: Lost Crystal ×6, Lucent Afterglow ×24, Traveler's Guide ×6, Refined Aether ×3, Credit ×30,000 per tier. Insignia: Stellar Jade ×60 (stages 1-8), ×80 (9th+ clear), totaling ×800 Stellar Jade and ×220,000 Credits per cycle.
Insect Egg Fission spawns Eggs at turn end. Hormone Secretion applies -1 stack to summons. Rappa's Enhanced Basic handles constant AoE pressure efficiently. Position 1's Heroic Vanguard grants +50% Break Efficiency plus CRIT DMG bonuses post-Ultimate.
Core Synergy
Rappa's Ultimate enters Sealform (+1 turn, 3 Chroma Ink charges, +50% Break Efficiency, +30% Break Effect). Enhanced Basic's third hit reduces 2 Toughness + 1 per Charge (5 total), dealing Imaginary Break DMG that bypasses type restrictions.
Asta's Messenger Hackerspace 4-piece accelerates team by +12% SPD when using Ultimate, stacking with +50 SPD buff. At 134+ SPD with 3800+ HP and 1000+ DEF, Asta cycles Ultimate every 3-4 turns while generating SP. Talent stacks reach +70% ATK within 5-7 actions.
Lynx's Survival Response applies +7.5% Max HP (2 turns). At 5000+ HP, 1000-1200+ DEF, 135+ SPD, she creates 6000+ effective HP pools. Ultimate's AoE dispel removes debuffs before accumulation.
Team Roles
Rappa (DPS): 145-150+ SPD, 160-240% Break Effect, 3200+ ATK for A6 (+10% Break DMG at 3200 ATK threshold). A4 delivers 60% Super Break DMG on broken enemies. Trace priority: Talent > Ultimate > Basic > Skill.
Asta (SP Generator/Buffer): Alternates Skill (+1 SP) and Basic (neutral) based on reserves. Banks 4-5 SP before boss Break phases. Light Cones: But the Battle Isn't Over, Meshing Cogs, or Dance! Dance! Dance!.
Lynx (Sustain/Cleanser): Skill targets lowest HP%, auto-redirecting to Rappa during Break recoil. Ultimate's 1-debuff cleanse prevents control effects. Light Cones: Night of Fright, Post-Op Conversation, or Perfect Timing.

Minimum Benchmarks
- Rappa: 145 SPD (2:1 ratio), 200% Break Effect (Iron Cavalry 15% DEF ignore), 3000 ATK
- Asta: 130 SPD (2:1 ratio), 3500 HP (survive 2 AoE), 900 DEF
- Lynx: 4500 HP (heal scaling), 135 SPD (act before enemies), 900 DEF
Below these: rotation desync (Rappa), buff downtime (Asta), insufficient healing (Lynx).
Stage 3 Boss Mechanics
Attack Patterns
Insect Egg Fission spawns 2-3 Eggs (50% boss Toughness, Physical/Imaginary weakness). Hormone Secretion: -1 stack to summons per turn. Defeating Eggs reduces King Toughness by 10% each (80 Toughness per Egg at 800 base).
Steadfast Safeguard: -50% damage until first Break, then +100% damage (2 turns) = 3x effective multiplier. Boss cycles single-target Physical (1800-2200 to Rappa) and AoE Imaginary (1200-1500 all) every 3-4 actions.
Toughness Phases
800 base Toughness. Rappa's Enhanced Basic: 2 + 1 per Charge (5 at 3 Charges) = 5 Toughness per hit. With +50% Break Efficiency (Sealform): 7.5 effective. Full rotation (3 hits): 22.5 Toughness.
Eggs contribute 10% King Toughness reduction (80 per Egg). Rappa's AoE eliminates 2-3 Eggs = 160-240 bonus Toughness. First Break: turn 8-10.
Post-Break: 2-turn vulnerability. Ruinous Embers: +15% Memosprite Skill DMG, +25% Ultimate DMG debuffs. Rappa's Enhanced Basic gains 1.15x multiplier + 100% damage taken. Boss regenerates 30% Toughness after window expires.
Physical Weakness Exploitation
Rappa's Imaginary Break DMG ignores Weakness Type—triggers Break on Physical-weak enemies despite being Imaginary. Dual-typing doubles applicable targets.
Iron Cavalry DEF ignore: 10% at 150% Break Effect, 15% at 250% (120-180 effective DEF reduction vs 1200 DEF enemies). Combined with A6 (+10% Break DMG at 3200 ATK): 25% increased Break damage.
Heroic Vanguard (slot 1): +50% Break Efficiency post-Ultimate, stacks with Sealform's +50% = 125% total. Transforms 5 Toughness/hit into 11.25 effective (40-50% faster Breaks).
Turn-by-Turn Rotation
Opening (Turns 1-5)
- Asta Skill: +1 SP (total: 4), first Talent stack (+14% ATK)
- Rappa Basic: Neutral SP (4), 20 energy toward 110 Ultimate
- Lynx Skill: -1 SP (3), Survival Response on Rappa (+7.5% Max HP)
- Asta Basic: Neutral (3), 2 Talent stacks (+28% ATK), 40/120 energy
- Rappa Basic: Neutral (3), 40/110 energy. Boss acts: 1800-2200 to Rappa
Conserves to 3 SP while building energy/stacks.
Mid-Combat (Turns 6-12)
Turns 6-8: Asta alternates Skill/Basic to reach 5 SP. Rappa Basics to 110 energy (turn 7-8). Lynx Skill every 3 turns (-1 SP/cycle). Net: +1 SP per 3 turns.
Turn 9: Rappa Ultimate (0 SP, 3 Chroma Ink, Sealform). Asta at 3-4 Talent stacks (+42-56% ATK).
Turns 10-12: Rappa Enhanced Basic ×3 (-3 SP, 2 SP remaining). Each hit: 60% Imaginary Break DMG, 5 Toughness (boss + 2-3 Eggs = 15-20 total). Asta Skill turn 11 (+1 SP, total: 3), reaches 120 energy.
Turn 12: Asta Ultimate (0 SP), +50 SPD (2 turns). Rappa 145 → 195 SPD, Lynx 135 → 185 SPD. Boss approaching Break (600/800 Toughness).
Turns 6-12: 200-250 boss Toughness depleted. SP stabilizes at 3-4.
Ultimate Timing
- Rappa: 110 energy. 20/Basic, 5/enemy hit with Enhanced (3 enemies × 5 = 15). First: turn 7-8. Cycle: 8-10 turns (6-7 with Ninjutsu).
- Asta: 120 energy. 28/Skill, 20/Basic. First: turn 8-9. Cycle: 6-7 turns.
- Lynx: 100 energy. 30/Skill, 20/Basic. First: turn 10-12. Cycle: 9-10 turns.
Sequence: Rappa Ultimate → Enhanced spam → Asta Ultimate (mid-spam for SPD) → Lynx Ultimate (post-Break heal/dispel).
Closing Phase
Turn 12-14: First Break. Ruinous Embers: boss action + HP restore (10%), +15% Skill DMG, +25% Ultimate DMG debuffs (2 turns). Steadfast flips to +100% damage.
Turn 13-14: Rappa Enhanced Basic with +50 SPD, +70% ATK: 8000-12000 base → 9200-13800 (+15% Skill DMG) → 18400-27600 (+100% vulnerability). Three hits: 55200-82800 (40-50% boss HP).
Turn 15: Lynx Ultimate: dispel debuffs, heal 1035 each. Prevents post-Break retaliation deaths.
Turn 16-18: Boss regenerates 30% Toughness (240/800). Rappa's A4: 60% Super Break DMG = 3000-5000/Enhanced Basic during recovery.
Turn 19-22: Rappa rebuilds energy (Basics), 110 by turn 20-21. Deplete 240 + 300-400 Toughness, second Break turn 22-24. Boss HP < 20%, typically secures kill.
Most runs: 25-30 turns.
Skill Point Management
Decision Framework
Net SP flow: Asta Skill (+1) + Rappa Enhanced (-1) + Lynx Skill every 3 turns (-0.33) = +0.67 SP/turn.
Rappa: Enhanced when SP ≥ 3 AND (boss Toughness ≤ 50% OR Asta buffs active). Basic when SP ≤ 2 OR (Toughness > 50% AND no buffs).
Asta: Skill when SP ≤ 4 AND (Talent < 5 OR Ultimate energy < 100). Basic when SP ≥ 5 OR (Talent = 5 AND Ultimate ready).
Lynx: Skill when (Rappa HP ≤ 60% OR Survival Response expired). Basic when (Rappa HP > 80% AND Survival Response active AND SP ≤ 2).
Asta's SP Generation
Skill: 0 SP cost, +1 SP generated. Rotation: Skill → Basic → Skill → Basic = +1 SP/2 turns. Over 12 turns: +6 SP offsets Rappa's -6 and Lynx's -4.
Messenger Hackerspace: +12% SPD (1 turn) post-Ultimate enables Skill → Skill sequences (+2 SP rapid).
Talent stacks: Rappa's Enhanced (3 targets) = 3 stacks/action. Max 5 stacks in 2-3 Rappa actions. Delay Asta Skill until turn 6-8 for natural accumulation.
Emergency Recovery
SP < 2: Asta Skill ×2 (+2 SP), Rappa Basic (neutral), Lynx Basic (neutral). 3-turn sequence restores to 4-5 SP (15% DPS loss, acceptable during non-Break).
Sealform expires with SP < 3: Delay Rappa Ultimate 2-3 turns. Basics until SP ≥ 4, then Ultimate + Enhanced spam.
Lynx emergency: Ultimate (0 SP) instead of Skill when SP ≤ 1 and multiple allies need healing.
Fourth slot absence: +1 to +2 SP advantage vs four-character teams, enabling Rappa's SP-intensive spam.
Speed Tuning
Breakpoints
Rappa 145-150 SPD: AV = 10000/145 = 68.97. Enemies 125 SPD: AV = 80. Ratio: 1.16x = 2:1 over two enemy turns. 140 SPD: 1.12x (risks desync).
Asta 134-140 SPD: AV = 10000/134 = 74.63 (slightly slower than Rappa's 68.97). +50 SPD buff: 10000/184 = 54.35 AV (2 actions before enemies).
Lynx 135-140 SPD: AV = 10000/135 = 74.07 (faster than Asta's 74.63). Acts before enemies (120-130 SPD), applies Survival Response pre-damage.
Priority: Rappa (145-150) > Lynx (135-140) > Asta (134-138). Ensures Rappa generates stacks, Lynx heals, Asta buffs before Rappa's next action.
Action Advance
Asta's +50 SPD: Rappa 145 → 195 (AV 68.97 → 51.28 = 25.6% frequency increase). Gains 0.5 actions over 2-turn buff = 1 extra Enhanced Basic/cycle.
Lynx 135 → 185 (AV 74.07 → 54.05 = 27% increase). Acts immediately after Rappa during buffs.
Messenger Hackerspace +12% SPD stacks additively with Asta's +50 = +62 total during overlaps.
Ruinous Embers action advance (boss Break): interrupts rotation. Delay Rappa's final Enhanced pre-Break by 1 turn for Lynx post-Break heal.
Turn Order Manipulation
Optimal Break sequence: Asta Ultimate (+50 SPD) → Rappa Enhanced #1 → Lynx Skill (Survival Response) → Rappa Enhanced #2 → Asta Skill (SP regen) → Rappa Enhanced #3. Three Enhanced within 2-turn buff window.
SPD tuning: Lynx 135 (minimum), Rappa 150 (maximum) = 15 SPD gap ensures Rappa acts first during buffs.
Asta 134 (minimum) prevents acting twice before Rappa's next action (wastes Talent stacks beyond 5-cap).
Delay Rappa Ultimate during Toughness regen until Asta buffs + Lynx Survival Response active. Synchronizes all three buffs for max burst. Desync reduces DPS 30-40%.
Lynx vs Gallagher
Healing Comparison
Lynx (30 turns): Skill 920 HP ×10 = 9200 to Rappa. Ultimate 1035 ×3 = 3105 to Rappa. Total: 12305 to Rappa, 9315 distributed. Grand total: 21620 HP.
Gallagher (30 turns): Besotted 400-600/ally action. Rappa 15 actions, Asta 12, Gallagher 10: 15×500 + 12×500 + 10×500 = 18500. Ultimate 700 ×3 = 2100. Total: 24800 HP.
Gallagher +15% healing but requires fourth slot (-1 to -2 SP/turn). Lynx's SP advantage: 3-4 extra Enhanced Basics = 24000-32000 bonus damage (exceeds healing gap).
Lynx's targeted healing focuses Rappa (primary damage taker). Gallagher distributes across all allies (less SP-efficient in three-character setups).
Lynx Advantages
Survival Response: +7.5% Max HP (5500 + 412 = 5912 effective). Absorbs 1800-2200 boss hits without immediate follow-up. Gallagher's Besotted: reactive (doesn't prevent burst deaths).
Ultimate dispels 1 debuff/character (removes Hormone Secretion -15-25% damage). Gallagher: no cleanse. Prevents 3000-5000 damage loss/cycle.
4-star accessibility, lower investment. Skill Level 8 (3 days farming) vs Gallagher Skill Level 10 (7-10 days). Free Light Cones (Post-Op from Herta's Shop).
DEF scaling: 551 base vs Gallagher's 441. 20-25% less Physical damage. Survives AoE with 40-50% HP vs Gallagher's 20-30%.
When Gallagher's Better
Four-character teams: Besotted scales with actions. Adding Trailblazer (20 actions/30 turns): 57 total actions × 500 = 28500 HP (+32% vs Lynx's 21620).
Break Effect scaling: Talent +12% Break DMG at max stacks. With 250%+ Break Rappa: 3000-5000 extra damage/Enhanced Basic (comparable to Lynx's SP savings).
Fire weakness stages (not Stage 3). Contributes Toughness damage while healing, 10-15% faster Breaks.
Existing investment: Level 80, Level 10 traces, 5-star Light Cone. Switching to Lynx: 3-4 weeks farming (outweighs marginal SP gains unless lacking fourth character).
AoE healing automation vs Lynx's manual targeting (prevents misclicks).
Common Mistakes
Premature Ultimates
Rappa Ultimate at 3 SP: Enhanced ×2 (1 SP left) → forced Basic (wastes Sealform) or 0 SP (Asta/Lynx can't Skill). 30-40% DPS loss.
Fix: Delay until SP ≥ 4 AND Asta Talent ≥ 4. Visual cue: Asta's stack indicator shows 4+.
Asta Ultimate pre-Break: +50 SPD expires before +100% vulnerability. 40-50% DPS loss during burst.
Fix: Delay until boss Toughness ≤ 200 (75% depleted).
Lynx Ultimate on cooldown: wastes AoE dispel (boss applies debuffs turn 10-12 AoE, post-Break).
Fix: Reserve for post-Break (turn 14-16) or pre-AoE (turn 10-11).
Speed Tuning Errors
Rappa 160+ SPD: acts 3×/enemy turn, desync from Asta's 2-turn buff. Third action unbuffed (40% less damage).
Fix: Cap 145-150 SPD. Redirect excess to Break Effect/ATK (15-20% per-hit increase).
Lynx 120 SPD: acts after enemies. Reactive healing allows Rappa to 30-40% HP (one-shot range from AoE).
Fix: Raise to 135-140 SPD. Proactive healing maintains 70-80% HP (3850-4400 buffer).
SP Starvation
Enhanced spam without monitoring: 5-6 consecutive (-5-6 SP to 0). Boss Breaks, no SP for continued Enhanced (60% less damage).
Fix: Maintain 2-3 SP minimum. Enhanced when SP ≥ 3, Basic when SP = 2.
Lynx Skill every turn: -1 SP/turn = -10/10 turns. Combined with Rappa (-6/10 turns) = -16 demand. Asta generates +5/10 turns. Negative SP by turn 8-10.
Fix: Lynx Skill every 3 turns (Survival Response expired OR Rappa HP ≤ 60%). Basic during safe phases. Reduces to -3/10 turns.
Positioning Errors
Rappa slot 2-4: forfeits Heroic Vanguard +50% Break Efficiency. 7.5 Toughness/hit vs 11.25 (40-50% slower Breaks). First Break turn 18-20 vs 12-14. Asta's first Ultimate expires pre-vulnerability.
Fix: Rappa slot 1, Asta slot 2, Lynx slot 3-4.
Adjacent slots (1-2-3): AoE hits all (3600-4500 total damage). Lynx Ultimate heals 3105 total (495-1395 deficit/cycle).
Fix: Space across 1-3-4 or 1-2-4 (future-proofs position-dependent mechanics).
Advanced Tips
Damage Benchmarks
Pre-Break (turns 1-12): Rappa 2000-3000/Enhanced × 6 = 12000-18000 (10-15% of 120000-150000 HP boss). Team total: 15000-22000.
First Break (turns 13-16): Rappa 18400-27600/Enhanced × 3 = 55200-82800 (40-50% boss HP). Team total: 56700-85300.
Toughness Regen (turns 17-22): Rappa A4 3000-5000/Enhanced × 4 = 12000-20000 (10-15%). Team total: 13000-22000.
Second Break (turns 23-26): 55200-82800 (secures kill from 20-30% HP). Total fight: 139900 HP.
Below benchmarks: Rappa Break Effect < 200% (-20-30%), Asta Talent < 5 during Break (-15-25%), Lynx healing insufficient (fight +10-15 turns), incorrect Ultimate timing (-30-40%).
RNG Adjustments
4 Eggs vs 2-3: Prioritize AoE. 5 Toughness × 4 Eggs + boss = 25 total/action. 4 Eggs = 40% King Toughness (320), accelerates Break 3-4 turns.
Asta Ultimate 120 energy before boss Toughness < 50%: Delay with Basics until ≤ 400 Toughness. Prevents buff expiration pre-Break.
Lynx Skill targets Asta (HP% calculation): Use Lynx Ultimate instead (heals all, 0 SP vs Skill's -1 SP).
Rappa Sealform expires with 2 Chroma Ink: Basic to rebuild energy (4-5 Basics to 110), then re-enter Sealform. Enhanced without Sealform: 40% less Toughness, SP-inefficient.
Investment Priority
Week 1: Rappa 80, Iron Cavalry correct mains, Talent 8. Cost: 500k Credits, 60 Guides, 30 Aether, 15 Destiny.
Week 2: Lynx 70, Messenger HP%/SPD/HP%/HP%, Skill 6. Cost: 300k Credits, 40 Guides, 20 Aether, 8 Destiny.
Week 3: Asta 70, Messenger HP%/SPD/HP%/Energy, Ultimate 8. Cost: 300k Credits, 40 Guides, 20 Aether, 8 Destiny.
Week 4: Rappa Break Effect 200%+, Lynx 80, Asta Talent 8. Cost: 400k Credits, 50 Guides, 25 Aether, 12 Destiny.
Light Cones: Rappa Ninjutsu 60 (Week 1), Lynx Night of Fright 50 (Week 2), Asta Meshing Cogs 50 (Week 3). Avoid 60+ until Level 80 + Level 8 traces.
Relics: Main stats first (Level 15 ATK% Body > Level 0 Break Effect Body). Farm mains Week 1-2, optimize substats Week 3-4.
Alternative Options
Substitute Characters
No Rappa: Boothill (Physical Break, 200%+ Break Effect, 145+ SPD) or Sushang (Physical CRIT, 60% CR, 120% CD, Champion 4-piece). 20-30% less effective (lack Imaginary Break DMG).
No Asta: Tingyun (+50% ATK Ultimate, energy regen, 2-3 turns faster cycles) or Hanya (+20% SPD Skill, -10% enemy SPD). Lack +1 SP generation (30-40% less Enhanced spam).
No Lynx: Natasha (10.56% + 211 single, 9.12% + 182 AoE, 20% less healing, no cleanse) or March 7th (50% DEF + 106 shield, prevents vs heals, vulnerable to AoE). 15-25% less effective vs Hormone Secretion.
No core: Trailblazer (Imaginary) + Dan Heng + Natasha + Asta. 35-40 turns vs 25-30, zero limited pulls.
F2P Light Cones
Rappa: Under the Blue Sky (+32% ATK, 600 Herta Bonds) or Swordplay (+24% DMG, free). Sacrifice 60-100% Break Effect (need 4-6 extra substat rolls).
Asta: Meshing Cogs (+8% ATK, free Simulated Universe) or Memories of the Past (+16% Break Effect, 4 energy/ally attack, 600 Herta Bonds).

Higher Stages
Stage 4-5: Rappa 250%+ Break Effect (Iron Cavalry max 15% DEF ignore vs 1400-1600 DEF = 210-240 effective ATK). Farm 2-3 extra rolls/piece.
Stage 6-7: Lynx 5500-6000 HP (2500-3000 boss damage). Level 80, Skill 10, HP% planars (Broken Keel +10% Effect RES). Heals 920 → 1080.
Stage 8-9: Asta 140-145 SPD (2:1 vs 140 SPD enemies). Farm 3-4 SPD rolls or higher base Feet.
Stage 10+: Add fourth (Trailblazer Imaginary or Pela). Three-character SP insufficient at 200000+ boss HP. Transition Asta to Musketeer 4-piece (+12% ATK, +18% SPD) for sub-DPS.
FAQ
How does Rappa Asta Lynx work in Stage 3? Rappa exploits Physical/Imaginary via Enhanced Basics ignoring Weakness Type (AoE Break damage). Asta: +50 SPD, +70% ATK. Lynx: targeted heals, AoE dispels. Three-character banks 4-5 SP (Asta +1 SP generation), funds Enhanced spam during boss Break (+100% vulnerability).
Optimal rotation without Gallagher? Asta Skill → Rappa Basic → Lynx Skill (3 SP by turn 3). Asta Skill/Basic alternation + Rappa Basics until 5 SP + Asta 4 Talent stacks (turn 8-9). Rappa Ultimate, Enhanced ×3, Asta Ultimate (+50 SPD). Time for boss Toughness ≤ 200.
Can Lynx replace Gallagher? Yes. 87% healing (21620 vs 24800/30 turns) but three-character SP economy (+1 SP/turn) funds 3-4 extra Enhanced = 24000-32000 bonus damage (exceeds healing gap). Debuff cleanse prevents 3000-5000 damage loss/cycle.
Minimum F2P builds? Rappa: 145 SPD, 200% Break Effect, 3000 ATK, Iron Cavalry 4pc + Talia 2pc. Asta: 130 SPD, 3500 HP, 900 DEF, Messenger 4pc. Lynx: 4500 HP, 135 SPD, 900 DEF, Messenger 4pc. All Level 70+, Level 6+ key traces, Level 50+ Light Cones.
Skill point management with three characters? Asta +1 SP/Skill (every other turn), Rappa -1 SP/Enhanced (when SP ≥ 3), Lynx -1 SP/Skill (every 3 turns) = +0.67 SP/turn. Bank 4-5 SP pre-Ultimate via Basics, spam Enhanced during Break. Maintain 2-3 SP reserve.
When to use Rappa Ultimate? SP ≥ 4 AND Asta Talent ≥ 4 AND boss Toughness ≤ 400 (50% depleted). Ensures three Enhanced with +56-70% ATK during Break window. Premature (3 SP): mid-Sealform starvation. Delayed (600+ Toughness): misses first Break.
