Discord Team
NTE's break-and-burst trio. Discord fires when Nova (Chaos + Psyche) and Scorch (Incantation + Chaos) are both on the target — it deducts Break, and the team is built to detonate that staggered enemy for a huge Chaos hit.
Overview
Verdict
The dedicated stagger archetype: it forces enemy Break faster than anything else, then cashes the Broken state in via Lacrimosa's 400% ATK Discord burst. The catch is the element spread — you need Chaos, Psyche AND Incantation online to keep both Nova and Scorch live. Premium and setup-heavy, but unmatched against Break-gated bosses.
Ratings
The reaction — and why it's a team
Discord chains once both Nova and Scorch are active on the target: “Deducts a percentage of the target's Break when they are simultaneously affected by Nova and Scorch.” A Break-shred trio — you keep a Nova pair AND a Scorch pair live so both apply, then Discord chews the Break gauge for a stagger burst.
Blade Draw: Further reduces the target's Break cap by 10% for 30s while affected by Discord, up to a maximum reduction of 20% of the target's initial Break cap. Restores it to normal upon leaving combat.
The Break-shred specialist — lowers the cap itself so the enemy staggers even faster.
Tomato Banquet: Deals additional DMG equal to 400% of ATK to the target when Discord is triggered, if the target is already Broken.
The payoff — once the enemy is Broken, every Discord trigger adds a flat 400% ATK burst.
Plus the gear: Diabolos (4-piece) ignores 12% of Chaos RES, rising to 24% for 20s after a Nova or Scorch reaction — and Discord keeps both live. See the Equipment guide for the full set.

A Discord team fills these jobs. Pick one unit per role to what you own.
Chaos Carry
The shared element of both parents — and the Discord burst payoff.
Scorch Pair (Incantation)
Keeps Scorch live — the Incantation + Chaos half of Discord.
Nova Pair (Psyche)
Keeps Nova live — the Chaos + Psyche half of Discord.
Flex
Extra DoT amp or sustain for the long stagger setup.
Doubles the DoT riding alongside the Break shred if you lean DoT + stagger.

Discord Stagger
Played meta
The played break comp: Adler's Incantation fuses with Daffodill's Chaos for Scorch, while Fadia and Daffodill empower Nova — both live at once = Discord. Daffodill craters the Break cap; Lacrimosa's 400% ATK burst detonates the Broken target.
Rotation principle
The frame-perfect loop depends on the carry — open that character's own guide for it. The archetype loop is always the same:
Stack the elements
Get Chaos, Incantation and Psyche all applying — you need both Nova (Chaos + Psyche) and Scorch (Incantation + Chaos) live at the same time.
Trigger Discord
With both reactions up, Discord fires and starts deducting Break; Daffodill's Blade Draw lowers the cap by up to 20%.
Break the enemy
The combined shred staggers the target far faster than normal Break damage.
Detonate
On the Broken target, Lacrimosa's Tomato Banquet adds 400% ATK on every Discord trigger. Keep both parent reactions alive and repeat.
- The hardest archetype to assemble — Chaos + Psyche + Incantation must all be online to hold Nova and Scorch together.
- Almost entirely S-Rank: Lacrimosa, Baicang and the Psyche enablers are premium pulls.
- Its whole value is Break-gated content; against enemies you'd kill before staggering, simpler teams win.
