Our Take on Telperion
Telperion is an SSR Illusion Veil Mage who deals line and row damage while setting up a self-made crit window. Void Disintegration shocks a target after 3 damage instances and adds 70% area damage, and that shock turns on Warp Shadow's 550 critical bonus against elemental-debuffed enemies.
Strengths
- +Void Disintegration applies shock after 3 hits on the same target, lowered to 2 at level 7, so Telperion enables Warp Shadow without help bonus.
- +Voidgrasp strikes twice for 130% line damage, quickly building toward the Void Disintegration trigger.
- +Ray of Ruination channels 432% line damage, boosted by 40% on a Punishment trigger.
- +Level 4 makes Telperion's critical hits raise the enemy's next Overdrive cost by 1.
Weaknesses
- −The damage is line and row based, so spread-out enemies reduce how many targets are hit.
- −Ray of Ruination's 40% bonus depends on Punishment, which this kit does not clearly trigger.
- −Level 2's crit up on elemental reactions requires reactions the in-game text does not define.
How to Play Telperion
Keep Telperion in the back row. Lead with Voidgrasp on one target, since its two hits plus a basic attack reach Void Disintegration's 3-hit trigger and apply shock. Once the target is shocked, Warp Shadow's 550 critical applies, so follow with Umbral Edge and Ray of Ruination. Level 7 is the most important enhancement because cutting the trigger to 2 hits makes shock nearly automatic. Level 4 adds Overdrive cost pressure through crits.
Good Teammates
- Van Helsing (SSR) – Van Helsing's Grenade triggers Punishment, the condition for Ray of Ruination's 40% damage boost.
- Mordred (SSR) – Telperion's shock is an elemental debuff, enabling Mordred's Devour Wheel 75% bonus.
- Lorilin (SSR) – Lorilin's Warp Light also gains 550 Critical against elemental-debuffed enemies, so Telperion's shock powers both.

Should You Invest?
Telperion is SSR and listed at T3. Self-applied shock makes Telperion more independent than most elemental units, so this unit may be worth building in elemental or Punishment teams, especially if you can reach talent level 7.
