Core Rotation

Augusta aims to stack Ascendancy as quickly as possible in order to generate Majesty and cast her second Ultimate’s attack sequence, finishing her rotation. Below is the best way to do so.

Echo Timing: Best used right at the end of the whole rotation (make sure to Swap Cancel it immediately after casting in order to optimize).

Additional Tips & Tricks

Augusta’s core rotation is extremely simple with little to no tricks to it. This is because she will be under an Amplify Outro boost in her best teams, and switching out of Augusta during her rotation instantly ends this kind of buff. Additionally, her Outro skill mechanic forces the next character she Outros into not to be switched out of, and half of her damage is concentrated in abilities before her second Ultimate — all of this to say, she’s near-incompatible with quickswap playstyles.

The best we can work with is some animation cancels and an extra The False Sovereign transform Echo cast prior to her rotation as well as when she ends it, performed at some point in your secondary buffer’s rotation, as follows:

• After your third character (the one Augusta has switched into) has cast their own Outro, try to cast one The False Sovereign active Echo Skill where it makes sense to do so (try to Swap Cancel an ability of your secondary character). If this isn’t possible to do without losing rotation time, then do not consider doing this.
• When Augusta finishes her second Ultimate attack sequence, make sure to cast one The False Sovereign active Echo Skill before immediately switching out to cast her Outro.
• Augusta can cancel the endlag on the Spinslashes in her rotation. What we mean is when the damage of Spinslash has fully come out, she can immediately follow with abilities that can chain together quicker than simply letting the animation fully play out, as follows:
  • The first Spinslash’s endlag can be cancelled by her base Resonance Skill;
  • The second Spinslash’s endlag can be cancelled by her base Ultimate.

And to conclude, a few extra tips:

• Augusta can cancel the endlag on one of the Spinslashes in her rotation. What we mean is when the damage of the second Spinslash has fully come out, she can immediately follow with her Ultimate which can chain together quicker than simply letting the animation fully play out: hence, the second Spinslash’s endlag can be cancelled by her base Ultimate.
• If needed, since Augusta and her teammates have quick rotations, when playing optimally some filler attacks may need to be added depending on the team. In Augusta’s case, this isn’t a problem: simply go for a few normal attacks into an extra Backstep + Spinslash combo, or go for a Heavy Attack, cancel the endlag with a dash (else you would follow up with the undesirable Uppercut Heavy Attack) and then do the Backstep + Spinslash combo as normal (this second variant will be quicker).

Additional warning: Augusta’s second Ultimate field instantly kills all on-field entities, including things such as Phrolova’s Hecate. This makes the synergy between the two close to unusable and should be considered when teambuilding.
