This guide covers the Light Cones, Relics, Trace priority, stat priority, teams, and Eidolon verdicts for the best Cerydra build, along with her full lists of Trace and Ascension materials.
She is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of Harmony who marks a single ally with Military Merit, feeds them a slice of her own ATK, and eventually upgrades that mark to Peerage so their Skill fires a second time for free.

How to Play Cerydra: Rotation and Tips
Cerydra’s Technique, First-Move Advantage, grants her Military Merit, transfers it to whoever you switch to, then automatically casts her Skill once on that ally at the start of battle without spending a Skill Point. Open fights with this as often as you can.
From there, cast her Skill, Pawn’s Promotion, on your damage dealer. Each cast gives her 1 Charge, and her Talent, Ave Imperator, adds another Charge every time the marked ally uses a Basic ATK or Skill. Charge caps at 8 points.
At 6 Charge the mark upgrades to Peerage, which dispels the ally’s Crowd Control debuffs and hands them a large Skill CRIT DMG bonus plus All-Type RES PEN (Resistance Penetration). Their next Skill against enemies then triggers Coup de Main, repeating that Skill for free at full strength.
Use her Ultimate, Scholar’s Mate, whenever it is available. It grants 2 Charge on its own and deals Wind DMG equal to up to 144% of Cerydra’s ATK to all enemies, making it the fastest way to close out a Charge cycle.
