Darley Clatter, a 3-star Mental DPS/support Arcanist in Reverse: 1999, functions as a Moxie generator and team buffer with healing utility, enabling Ultimate spam teams despite low base HP and survivability.
His Ultimate "Great Inspirer" grants all allies Moxie +2 (upgradable) plus 30% DMG Bonus for 3 rounds and HP recovery (Lost HP x15-25%), making him ideal for low-rarity comps with Ult-reliant DPS like Leilani pairs. In 2025 meta, he clears high-end content like Recoleta 400M and Uttu 30 with proper shielding, though his damage remains middling due to 3-star limits.
Skills Breakdown
Darley focuses on team enablement over personal damage, with ATK-scaling heals and Penetration for Mental output.
Basic: Clatter Trample – Single-target 400% ATK Mental DMG with +30-40% Penetration Rate (Portray Lv.2), providing consistent poke.
Incantation: Commanding Aura – 150-375% ATK Mental DMG to one enemy; heals lowest-HP ally for ATK x40-140% (scales with stars/Portrays), clutch for sustain.
Ultimate: Great Inspirer – Mass buff: Moxie +2 for allies, +30-35% DMG Dealt for 3 rounds (Portray Lv.1/3), self-heal (Lost HP x25% at Lv.5), and triggers on low HP for Moxie +3 once.
Inheritance: N/A – Relies on Euphoria for bulk (DMG Heal +10% on battle start).
Prioritize Insight II (healing amps) and Portrays (Lv.5: AoE Ult heal via "Her Second Life", Penetration/DMG boosts); Resonance Equanimity for survivability.
Top Psychube Recommendations
Emphasize ATK for heals/DMG, bulk for low HP; amplify to Lv.60 engraving ATK%/Penetration/Healing nodes with 3-star fodder.
Her Second Life signature turns single-heal Ult AoE; His Bounden Duty for damage focus—avoid pure DPS Psychubes due to frailty.
Optimal Team Compositions
Pair with healers/shielders for HP issues; excels in Moxie/Ult spam.
Moxie Spam Core: Darley Clatter (Buffer), Leilani (DPS), Any Ult DPS – Moxie +2 enables endless Ultimates; proven Recoleta clears.
Mental Sustain: Darley (Sub-Support), Recoleta (Main DPS), La Source (Healer) – Heals lowest HP ally; Penetration shreds bosses.
F2P Budget: Darley, Sonetto/Voyager (DPS), Regulus (Dodge) – Low investment for Limbo; DMG buffs explode early-game.
Bulk Heal Team: Darley, Dikke (Tank/Heal), 6 (DPS) – Covers frailty; Uttu 30 viable with non-humanoid synergy.
Always include healer (La Source/Dikke); flex shields like Tennant.
Build Priorities & Tips
Resonance Equanimity path to R6+ for HP/DEF (tied lowest base HP with Leilani), then Insights/Portrays before Psychubes.
Warehouse Psychube first—low investment shines F2P; farm events for Her Second Life dups. Playstyle: Ult early for Moxie ramp, heal lowest HP ally proactively; low HP triggers extra Moxie.
Meta in 2.8+ for Moxie-hungry comps, synergizes starters like Sonetto. Test vs. multi-wave for rotation speed; better than basic healers like La Source in buff scenarios despite scaling limits.
