Danica kit leaks are out, and we finally have a first look at the Tsaritsa’s battle maid in Genshin Impact. She has full supportive utilities, and if her kit remains unchanged, Danica will be the best Electro support in almost all Stellar-Conduct teams. However, she is still not a universal assist like Odette, as her synergy with EM scalers like Mitya is in an unfortunate position.
So how will you know which situations call for her on the team? Well, let’s break down Danica’s complete kit and discuss when she becomes a better support than existing Electro characters. Understand that this is a very early impression, and things will change, mostly her multipliers, which I will be updating in this Genshin Impact guide.

Danica Complete Kit In Genshin Impact
Danica is a 5-Star Electro Claymore user who provides significant Stellar and ATK buffs to the team and shreds enemy resistance. Combined with her shield and Electro application, this makes her the ideal 4th slot for some ATK-scaling Stellar main DPS.
While she is also a decent main DPS in her on-field mode, theorycrafters suggest playing her as support, as she remains weaker than other Stellar DPS units. It is unlikely that she will get more buffs during the beta phase, but you never know. For now, I would consider her as a support with a nice on-field mode that you can use in the overworld.
UPDATE: The kit information has been updated as of Beta V2.
Normal Attacks
Danica’s Normal Attacks are the weakest part of her kit. She has low multipliers, and her true potential lies in the Elemental Skill. She has a four-hit sequence where the third attack hits twice. Her Charged Attack is also an elegant sequence of attacks instead of just spinning like a Beyblade.

Here are her Normal Attack multipliers at Lv. 10 as of V2.
| Damage Type | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1-Hit DMG | 125.5% |
| 2-Hit DMG | 114.8% |
| 3-Hit DMG | 74.9% x2 |
| 4-Hit DMG | 183.5% |
| Charged Attack Cyclic DMG | 123.6% |
| Charged Attack Final DMG | 224% |
| Charged Attack Stamina Cost | 40/s |
| Plunge DMG | 147.4% |
| Low/High Plunge DMG | 295% / 368% |
Elemental Skill
Danica’s Elemental Skill is the core of her kit in Genshin Impact. Upon casting, she throws an anchor onto the field that follows the active party member. It has two functions depending on whether your Danica is on or off-field:
- Off-field – The anchor performs coordinated attacks with the active party member’s Electro or Cryo hits, dealing AOE Electro DMG every 1.5s.
- On-field – Danica’s Normal Attacks become Electro-infused special attacks that cannot be overridden by other infusions. This damage is considered Normal Attack DMG.
When the anchor is active, Danica accumulates “Excitement” stacks in two ways, again, depending on the stance. She can have a maximum of 100 Excitement points, which she consumes to perform her Special Elemental Skill.

The Special Elemental Skill also varies with her current stance:
- Off-field – Danica gains 50 Excitement whenever an active party member deals Electro or Cryo DMG. This can be triggered once every 0.1s. Once you reach maximum Excitement, switching to Danica will perform her Special Elemental Skill and enter Guardian Maid Form. The Skill deals one instance of AOE Electro DMG, which can be Stellar, and essentially resets her anchor’s duration while granting a shield that scales with Danica’s ATK. This shield has 250% absorption against Electro DMG.
- On-field – Danica gains 25 Excitement whenever her special anchor Normal Attacks hit an enemy. This can be triggered with each hit. When you reach maximum Excitement, you can cast the Special Elemental Skill, which deals massive AOE Electro DMG that can be Stellar-Conduct. She then enters the Combat Maid Form, gaining a unique effect. From here on, every time you cast the on-field Special Skill, your next sequence of Normal Attacks will skip one Normal Attack hit. So, you can skip the initial three hits and move to the final hit directly after enough Special Skills are cast. You can perform a total of 5 Special Skills this way before the Combat Maid Form ends.
You cannot switch between the two modes while one Maid Form is active, and these forms are active until the anchor exists on the field.
Here are the multipliers for Danica’s Elemental Skill at Lv. 10 as of V2.
| Damage Type | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Skill DMG | 77% |
| Off-field Special Skill Initial Stellar-Conduct DMG | 122.1% |
| On-Field Special Skill Initial Stellar-Conduct DMG | 143.7% |
| Off-field Anchor Coordinated Attack DMG | 68.5% |
| Shield DMG Absorption | 420.2% ATK+3220.4 |
| Anchor Normal Attack 1-Hit Electro DMG | 132.6% |
| Anchor Normal Attack 2-Hit Electro DMG | 121.3% |
| Anchor Normal Attack 3-Hit Electro DMG | 79.1% x2 |
| Anchor Normal Attack 4-Hit Electro DMG | 193.9% |
| Anchor Duration | 25s |
| Off-field Skill Cooldown | 14s |
| Skill Cooldown | 18s |
Elemental Burst
Danica’s Elemental Burst is also important for the ATK buff it provides. It has relatively low energy cost and full uptime. Upon casting, Danica deals five instances of AOE Electro DMG, of which the 1st and 5th hits are Stellar-Conduct with Radiance active. The Burst also enhances Danica’s active Maid Form, and the effects vary for each.
- Guardian Maid Form – When Danica casts her Burst, she increases all party members’ ATK by up to 500. The ATK Bonus Ratio is 12.5%, so you need 4000 ATK for max buff.
- Combat Maid Form – When Danica casts her Burst, she restores all Excitement and increases the damage of Special Skill.
Here are the multipliers on her Elemental Burst at Lv. 10 as of V2.
| Damage Type | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1-Hit Electro DMG / Stellar-Conduct DMG | 134.6% / 79.6% |
| 2 / 3 / 4-Hit Electro DMG | 21.3% |
| 5-Hit Electro DMG / Stellar-Conduct DMG | 155.9% / 119.3% |
| ATK Bonus Ratio | 12.5% |
| Max ATK Bonus | 500 |
| On-field Special Skill DMG Increase | 70.3% |
| On-field Buff Duration | 20s |
| Cooldown | 15s |
| Energy Cost | 60 |
Ascension Talents
The current leaks do not provide placeholder names for her Ascension talents, but the descriptions are all pretty clear. Moreover, she gets ATK% as part of her Ascension stat, which is really useful since you need about 4000 ATK for the max buff.
Talent 1 – Reduces the Electro RES of enemies near the anchor by 15%. With Stellar Radiance active, it reduces their Electro RES by an additional 15% and their Cryo RES by 30%. The wording says “near”, so you don’t have to hit the enemy. It’s similar to Xilonen’s skill.
Talent 2 – Danica gains a 20% ATK increase after using the off-field Special Skill. Alternatively, using the on-field Special Skill grants Danica an ATK SPD increase of 20%, and she gains 25 extra Excitement for each Special Normal Attack. All of these effects stack up to 3 times and last until the Maid Form duration.

Passive Talent – She enables Stellar-Conduct reactions. Danica also increases the base DMG of Stellar-Conduct reactions by 0.7% for every 100 of her ATK, up to a maximum of 14%.
Exploration Passive – Danica increases party members’ Movement SPD by 10% and decreases Stamina Consumption by 10% in Subzero Climates.
Is Danica’s Kit Better Than Other Electro Supports in Genshin Impact?
Danica’s current kit suggests she will be one of the core Stellar supports for characters like Anastasya, Sandrone, Cyno, and Wriothesley. She is by far the best Electro support, beating even the likes of C1 Yae Miko and Mitya.
She provides immense value as a support and has enough main DPS potential to beat the likes of Imaginarium Theater and Spiral Abyss. You will need higher investments for Stygian Onslaught. Of course, all of this is most likely going to change, but her capabilities should remain largely the same.
Another interesting thing about Danica is that while she does leave Mitya in the dust as a support, she can be used with him in the Combat Maid Form. Mitya has a quick swap playstyle, and with Danica’s RES Shred, this duo can be pretty strong.
It is unfortunate that we are getting both Anastasya and Danica in the same Genshin Impact patch, as both have insane value. However, it is unlikely that they will be powercrept so easily, so you can always prioritise one and get the other in a rerun. I would consider Anastasya to be a better pull in general, but if you want to make your Sandrone teams even stronger, Danica will be the clear winner. Let’s wait and see how that changes during beta.
Danica Pre-Release Farming
It is possible to farm everything you need to level up Danica on day 1. She needs Damaged Flint, dropped by a new world boss in Genshin Impact version 7.3. You would need about 10 Fragile Resin to have enough for 15 runs, which should give you around 46 Damaged Flints.

The Snezhnaya Local Specialty required for Danica is Flockingweed, found in abundance across the Fellfrost Peak. The enemy loot required is Ethereal Glimmershard, dropped by the Fae of Crystalline Flesh. As for her talents, Danica needs Books of Glory, which you can get from the Relics of the Fallen Grace Domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and Twisted Withered Branch, which is dropped by the Il Dottore weekly boss. You can get all of these before her release, and with enough Fragile Resin for the overworld boss, you should have all the materials needed to max out Danica.
Regarding her build, I will wait until the bulk of beta changes have passed and enough testing has been done before finalising which weapon and artifact set works best for her. I will eventually make a guide for that as well and keep this article updated through the pre-release.
With Danica’s kit revealed, she is the third battle maid in Genshin Impact. Who is your favourite of the three? Noelle, Ineffa, or Danica? Let us know through our Insider Gaming Discord server.
