Illusion Connect Silver Dragon – Rie Character Guide

Our next Illusion Connect character to receive a guide is one of my personal favorites, Silver Dragon – Rie. She is a beautiful SP character that is durable and deals a truckload of AoE damage (in a column, still counts as AoE). She is the higher version of Rie, retaining some of her basics, such as the Death RES and the massive CC.

Her Awakening makes her even more powerful, and to date, she’s the first and only SP character to receive Awakening. Basically, that Freeze she has will increase Silver Dragon – Rie’s DMG Rate by 15%, stacking up to 3 times, to a total of 45%. That’s insane!

In this article, you can find everything you need to know about Silver Dragon – Rie, as well as which equipment would be best for her. So without further ado, let’s check it out!

Overflow damage from this attack is converted to HP. 40% of the overflow damage is added to the next Unique skill attack. (overflow damage is damage that is rendered ineffective due to the target being dead, invincible, or having Death RES – basically, it is all the extra damage you would otherwise deal)

The Best Equipment for Silver Dragon – Rie

In my opinion, this is the best equipment for Silver Dragon – Rie in Illusion Connect. It’s safe to say that any gear you would use on Kasumi can work on Silver Dragon – Rie as well since her attack has a similar pattern (more or less, it’s a column attack).

For a weapon, I would go for either Dragonhowl or Butterfly Hunter. If you have a premium UR weapon that you like, that could also work decently well I believe, but I have personally not tried any yet.

As an armor, I recommend either Sakura Furisode (UR) if you can place Silver Dragon – Rie behind another character, or you can go for an SSR alternative in Scarlet Cuirass, Butterfly Rattan Shirt or Uniform of Justice. For boots, you want to go either for Scarlet Warboots for some Lifesteal and more ATK, for Falling Butterfly if you want a little bit more tankiness and Rage (although I don’t prefer this one over the others) or for Mordred’s Boots (UR).

The accessory I like the most on Silver Dragon – Rie is the Eternal Spinning Top. However, I think that the Bagua Belt, Morpho Belt, and even Dream Prism will also work great on her, especially if she has some Lifesteal.
