About
A scholar's seaside sojourn. Her research into space-time physics means everything to her, and no failed experiment can keep her down. But even the best researchers need a break, which calls for a new theory: vacation!

Overview

In a reversal of her base form, Summer Sinoa offers damage first, support second. Although Chrono Trial’s cost scales up over time, this is offset by escalating damage and a dirt cheap SP cost. Bracing Summer provides a consistent slew of Crit-focused buffs, a welcome improvement over Sylas’s RNG. Sporting both strong burst and support, Sinoa is a welcome addition to the ranged Wind roster.

Strengths

High Burst Damage

Both a Wand Co-ability and innate Skill Damage play into Chrono Trial’s explosive nature. Combined full Inspiration and Crit mods, Sinoa can chunk HP bars significantly, especially during Break.

Reliable Crit Support

With all three buffs at once, Sinoa provides every aspect of Crit you could ask for. 30 seconds is a hefty duration and more than compensates for time spent Overload stacking.

Weaknesses

Slow Inspiration Stacking

Sinoa only grants two Inspiration stacks for every three Overload stacks. This translates to nine Chrono Trial casts before full Inspiration.

Dragon Recommendations

Gala Reborn Zephyr

Ariel

Vayu

Gala Reborn Zephyr can't be beat in terms of raw DPS.

Ariel balances both strength and support, allowing Sinoa to stack Overload even faster.

Vayu’s Skill Damage boost takes Chrono Trial to the moon.

Roc is an accessible source of raw STR.
