Quick Links
Broken Keel gives a boost to your team’s defensive and offensive stats, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of team compositions. A character with Broken Keel can be put onto almost any team and shine brightly.
What Are Relics?
Relics are items that your characters can hold that give them stat boosts, andhaving Relics from the same set on your character will give them additional benefits.Your character can hold four Cavern Relics(which come in sets of four) and two Planar Ornaments (which come in sets of two).
You do not unlock the ability to put Planar Ornaments on your charactersuntil you reach Trailblazer Level 30.
What Does Broken Keel Do?
Broken Keel is a 2-piece Planar Ornament Relic set that is ideal for support characters. It increases Effect Resistance by ten percent andif the wearer’s Effect Resistance is above 30 percent, their allies’ Crit Damage is increased by ten percent.
Crit Damage does not boost the Damage Over Time (DoT) effect.If you’re building a team that focuses on applying DoT (with characters like Kafka and Sampo), your support characters would benefit more from a different Planar Ornament Relic set.
Where to Find Broken Keel
Broken Keel is an Immersion Reward from World Seven of the Simulated Universe, andit costs 40 Trailblazer Power to obtain them.The recommended character level for World Seven is Level 60 and above, and you will need to fight the following enemies:
Trailblazer (Fire)
Unlike a lot of characters on this list, Broken Keel is good for the Fire Trailblazer because of the effects it provides them(though the bonus their allies receive is nice too). TheirSkill reduces incoming damage by 40 percentand theirTechnique grants them a shield.
Furthermore, when the Trailblazer uses theirBasic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate, they give allies a shield scaled off four percent of the Trailblazer’s Defense, plus 20 more.Their Talent grants them the following effects:
With the Trailblazer’s stat bonuses that increase their defense and their capacity for creating shields,Broken Keel’s Effect Resistance boost is a great additive, allowing them to be even more of a tank. The Critical Damage bonus also comes in handy when the Trailblazer’s Attack is increased.
A lot of the Fire Trailblazer’s abilities scale off Defense, which makesDefense the most valuable substat for them.
Yukong
Broken Keel is a fantastic Planar Ornament set for Yukong, as herSkill creates two Roaring Bowstring stacks, which increases allies’ Attackwhile active. While Roaring Bowstring is active, herUltimate will increase her allies’ Crit Rate and Crit Damage.
Because Yukong focuses on Attack, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage,Broken Keel’s Effect Resistance provides her and her team somedefensive capabilitiesthat Yukong would otherwise not be able to provide. The Crit Damage bonus is always a stellar effect to have on her as well.
Yukong’s Planar Ornament substats can be fairly flexible, andEffect Resistancewill always be handy when it comes to Broken Keel. The remaining substatsshould be focused onAttack, Crit Rate, or Crit Damage,but if you want to play her a bit more defensively or if your team doesn’t have a healer, you could also choose to get more HP and Defense substats.
Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan’s abilities provide her with lots of good support capabilities. HerSkill allows allies to share 65 percent of all damage taken, it increases their max HP, and allies’ Crit Rates are increased by six percent,herTalent reduces damage taken by ten percent,and her Bonus Abilities increase the Crit Rate and Max HP.
Broken Keel allows Fu Xuan to add to what she is already doing;making allies harder to take down and increasing the Crit Rate.Fu Xuan’s abilities scale off her max HP, so youshould be trying to get as much HP from her substats as possible,since Broken Keel gets stronger the more Effect Resistance the character has, sokeep an eye out for good Effect Resistant substats as well.
Bronya
Bronya’sUltimate increases allies’ Attack by 33 percent and Crit Damage by 12 percent of her own Crit Damage. Broken Keel will give heranother buff on top of that,making her and her allies even more powerful.
Because Broken Keel works best for characters with high Effect Resistance, it’s best to focus on getting Planar Ornaments withEffect Resistance substants.Furthermore, you should focus onCrit Damage substatsbecause her Ultimate scales off her total Crit Damage.
Huohuo
Broken Keel will mainly come in use by serving as a complementary effect for her Ultimate, as herUltimate regenerates allies’ energy and increases their attack by 24 percent for two turns.Broken Keel provides additional beneficial support byincreasing her allies’ Effect Resistance and Crit Damage,and the more benefits you can give your allies, the better.
All of Huohuo’s abilities scale off her HP, soHPshould be the focus of your substats.With any Broken Keel set, you should also takeEffect Resistanceinto account.
Gepard
While Gepard may benefit more from Planar Ornaments that directly benefit his Defense (like Belobog of the Architects), if you want to build him to make your allies more resistant, or you just want to try something outside the box, Broken Keel is a good choice. HisUltimate applies shields to all his allies, scaling off his Defense, because Broken Keel’s Effect Resistance buffprovides more defensive capabilities to his teammates.
Gepard’s Ultimate scales off his total Defense, so your Broken Keel Relics should have goodDefense substats.Because Effect Resistance is so important to this build, you should also place a lot of importance onEffect Resistance substats.
Tingyun
Tingyun is all aboutsupporting allies through Attack bonuses.Her Ultimate increases an ally’s damage by three percent for three turns, her Skill increases an ally’s Attack by 25 percent up to 15 percent of her attack, and her Bonus Abilities all increase Attack.
However, Tingyun doesn’t provide a lot of defensive support, and that’s where Broken Keel’s Effect Resistance boost comes in. Boosting her allies’Effect Resistance covers for her lack of defensive capabilities,while theCritical Damage boost is a fantastic compliment to all the Attack buffs she provides.
Tingyun’s skills scale off her Attack, so it’s important to have goodAttack substats.
Asta
Broken Keel is a good compliment to Asta’s Talent, and for every enemy Asta hits and for every enemy who has a Fire weakness, Asta will gain one stack of Charging.
Each stackincreases her allies’ Attack by seven percent, up to a maximum of 40 percent.Broken Keel’s Crit Damage bonus is always great when accompanying an attack.Both stat increases willmake her allies’ attacks all the more powerful,especially when paired up with someone who also buffs offensive stats like Tingyun.
While the Effect Resistance bonus is more or less a nice bonus to have on her, Asta’s Bonus Abilities do increase Defense, which serves as a good compliment. Broken Keel needs a 30 percent Effect Resistance bonus to activate the Crit Damage bonus, soEffect Resistance substatsare very important here.
Hanya
Much like many of the characters in this guide,Hanya specialises in providing stat boosts to her allies. Her Talent increases an ally’s damage output and her Ultimate increases an ally’s Speed Attack for two turns.
Simply put, the added stat boosts Broken Keel gives her allies make her an all-around good support unit, especially if you want to focus on her beinga bit broader of support rather than a support unit that focuses on one or two stats.The Effect Resistance bonus gives allies some defensive support that Hanya would otherwise lack, while the Crit Damage bonus is always extremely useful when she increases an ally’s Attack.
Part of Hanya’s Ultimate scales off herSpeed,so that should be one of the primary substats. Her remaining substats should focus on who her teammates are going to be and what stats you want her to specialise in.
March 7th
Broken Keel is good if you want to build March 7th around Effect Resistance, but if you want to build her more around creating shields, a Planar Ornament set like Belobog of the Ancients is better.
If you want to focus on a more Attack-oriented or Crit-oriented March 7th, the Critical Damage bonus is nice, but in that case, it’s better to pick a different Planar Ornament set like Firmament Frontline Glamoth or Inert Salsotto.
March 7th’s Basic Attack has a stat bonus of plus four percent Effect Resistance,which makes Broken Keel a good set if you primarily want tobuild up Effect Resistances.This could be a good build choice if her other team members rely on using their ultimates a lot.
Your substats should focus onEffect Resistance and Defensebecause those are the stats that will be more useful for this build. If you want to benefit more from the Critical Damage bonus, you should focus on Effect Resistance and Attack because her offensive skills scale off her Attack.
