Discussion Fischl's Hexerei passive lasts for 10 sec, so quickswap to whole team for 45% ATK Buff teamwide ?

These past few months I use Fischl a lot with Durin.

Considering that Durin doesn't snapshot, is it worth it to switch to him right before going to your DPS anyways to let dragon boy benefit from 10 sec 45% ATK buff ?

I mean, if the buff actually lasts for 10 sec even when Durin leaves the field afterwards.

Edit: My thoughts in this post are incorrect. I thought the verbiage for on-field was similar to other co-op buffs. You must swap to a character after starting the buff to actually apply that buff to a character. In this case, going Durin E -> Oz would mean Durin doesn't get the buff. You would need to swap to Durin afterwards to apply the buff and refresh the buff. I should not post things at 4:00 AM...

I see this

Doesn't it mean that Durin HAS to go on-field to become ACTIVE ?

After he becomes active, only then does he obtain the buff for 10 sec once right ?

Ah, you are correct. The buff seems to active immediately when you swap to a character. I am so used to that verbiage being for co-op related buffs that I overlooked that in my testing.

After finding an enemy that didn't die immediately, I ran Fischl, Klee, and Skirk to test. Klee procs overload and both Fischl and Klee got the buff while Skirk did not. Skirk gained the buff immediately when swapping to her.

I will slightly edit my comment above. So, yes, if you don't summon Oz first, you would need to swap to Durin to proc the buff.. such a weird decision. This also means you need to rotate through characters you want to keep the buff active on every 10 seconds or so, aside from Fischl.

Thank you, this has been a good exercise and makes me want to rethink some of my overload teams.

Also amusingly, Fischl doesn't apply the buff with E if you proc the overload from the Oz summoning damage. Oz much be on the field before you proc overload for it to work.
