1. Imbibitor Lunae
One of the newest additions, Imbibitor Lunae is a stellar Imaginary DPS. He is able to enhance his basic attack by consuming between 1 and 3 skill points. These enhanced attacks will deal increased damage to enemies.
Enhancing his attacks will also change how many enemies are attacked, making him useful in both Single-Target and AoE battles. While his attack can be skill point hungry, his ultimate deals crazy Imaginary DMG and grants Squama Sacrosancta which can be used to enhance his attacks in place of skill points.
Imbibitor Lunae’s kit may require some skill point management, but he is a great DPS that applies both single target and AoE damage to enemies. He also works really well against the most recent enemies on the Luofu that have Imaginary Weakness.
What makes Imbibitor Lunae great:
- Imaginary Weakness break
- Single-arget and AoE damage
- High Imaginary damage
- You're fighting against enemies with Imaginary Weakness
- You need both Single-arget and AoE damage
- You want an Imaginary hypercarry DPS
2. Kafka
If you like DoT play styles, Kafka is a must have as she buffs and enables DoT damage. Her attacks apply shock and her ultimate triggers DoT that is applied on enemies. When her allies perform a basic attack, Kafka will also follow up with an attack that applies shock to the enemy.

His ultimate will set his HP to 50 percent and deal Wind DMG to a single enemy and adjacent targets. He also gains stacks of Charge up to 5 times. When the Charge reaches its maximum, Blade will launch a follow-up attack that will deal Wind DMG and restore his HP by 25%.
