 Sucrose | EM + ATK buff double-dip. Enables powerful reaction teams. |
 Mona | Combines TTDS’s ATK boost with her Omen debuff for huge burst potential. |
 Baizhu | HP scaling fits his role. Useful buffer in Dendro/Electro reaction teams. |
 Charlotte | Enables ATK buffs while benefiting from added survivability via HP. |
 Lan Yan | Grants ATK buff support. Shield scales with ATK, not HP. |
 Citlali | Not reliant on HP, but can act as buffer. Shield scales with EM. |

Refinement Guide
Recommended: Refine to R5
- Max refinement is easy due to 3★ rarity.
- R5 enables the full 48% ATK buff on switch, one of the largest team buffs in the game.
Should You Keep Multiple Copies?
- Yes. Unlike other weapons, multiple TTDS copies can stack sequentially across multiple support characters.
- Supports with TTDS can pass buffs in rotation to boost multiple DPS units in multi-carry setups.
Gameplay Strategy
| Strategy | Details |
| Team Rotation | Use TTDS holder before your main DPS to trigger the buff. |
| Timing Awareness | Buff lasts 10s and goes on a 20s cooldown. Sync rotations accordingly. |
| Multi-TTDS Setup | Use TTDS on multiple characters to pass buffs to more than one DPS. |
| Maximize EM/HP Scaling | HP helps healers (Barbara/Kokomi), EM buffs reactions (Sucrose/Mono-Pyro comps). |
Comparison to Other Weapons
| Weapon Name | Notes |
| The Widsith | Better for burst DPS. TTDS is purely support. |
| Sacrificial Fragments | EM-focused support option. TTDS trades EM for ATK buff. |
| Prototype Amber | Great for ER + healing. TTDS offers direct team ATK increase instead. |
| Lost Prayer / 5★ Catalysts | Typically better for sustained field DPS, but not always better for team buffing. |
