Recoleta
Who is Recoleta?
Recoleta is a 6-star Mineral-afflatus Ultimate hyper-carry who enters battle with Moxie +3 and [Preparation · Recoleta], instantly ready for a first-round Ultimate. She gains Moxie each time an ally casts an Ultimate and accumulates [Narrative] buff stacks, consuming them on her own Ultimate for a massive mass Reality DMG attack against all enemies with a bonus single-target hit — scaling with every Moxie point spent. Her unique ability to auto-trigger a near-Ultimate from a Moldir-stacked ally makes her the ultimate chain-Ultimate machine. Prydwen rates her A+ to S tier with Moldir providing approximately 50% performance uplift.
Kit Summary
Grants Moxie +3 at battle start — she fires her first Ultimate before most carries even begin charging.
Gained when allies cast Ultimates; consumed on her own Ultimate for bonus Ultimate Might (+3% per Moxie consumed) — the more Moxie she spends, the harder the hit.
When she consumes enough [Narrative] stacks she generates an incantation that auto-casts the ally closest to drawing their own Ultimate — chaining Ultimate after Ultimate across the team.
Moldir's [Readiness] stacks from Recoleta's frequent Moxie consumption feed back into the team's Crit/Ultimate Might buffs — the two are described as inseparable.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: Critical Rate and Critical DMG are primary — her Ultimate hits very hard and scales with Moxie, making every Crit a massive payoff. Some DMG Bonus nodes round out the build. Prydwen notes she cannot reach 100% Critical Rate by herself, so team Crit Rate support (Moldir) is essential.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
The Final Roll (signature BiS, prydwen): Best option by a wide margin — Crit Rate and Crit DMG scaling with bonus Ultimate Might on proc aligns exactly with her kit. Rehearsal of Dreams (alternative): Focuses Ultimate Might and DMG Dealt over Crit — valid for players who lack Crit Rate support in the team. Another Story (budget): Increases Ultimate Might and overall DMG; accessible option until The Final Roll is obtained.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Ultimate triad: Recoleta + Moldir + Melania + Medicine Pocket (Euphoria) — Melania stacks [Passion Drain] and [Fixed Plan] for Ultimate Might; Moldir provides [Readiness] Crit buffs; Medicine Pocket (E1) provides passive healing and frees the team from active sustain AP costs.
Alternate: Recoleta + Moldir + Melania + Ezra (Dynamo) — Ezra fills the sustain slot in Dynamo compositions while providing mushroom Crit buffs.
F2P Verdict
Recoleta is a limited 6-star. The Final Roll is her signature BiS and the clear best choice. Rehearsal of Dreams and Another Story are functional alternatives. She requires Moldir (also limited) for her full ceiling — F2P players should plan both pulls. Without Moldir her performance is notably reduced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Recoleta start with Moxie +3?
Her [Preparation · Recoleta] passive grants +3 Moxie at battle start, meaning she begins at 3/5 Moxie and can fire her first Ultimate after just two more Moxie from ally actions. This makes her one of the fastest first-round Ultimate users in R:1999 and sets up the chain-Ultimate loop immediately.
What is Recoleta's best psychube?
The Final Roll is her signature BiS by a wide margin — Critical Rate and Critical DMG scaling plus bonus Ultimate Might on proc all align perfectly with her Moxie-spent damage scaling. Rehearsal of Dreams is a solid alternative focused on Ultimate Might and DMG Dealt for teams with less Crit support.
How does the chain-Ultimate mechanic work?
When Recoleta consumes enough [Narrative] stacks on her Ultimate, she automatically generates an incantation that forces the ally nearest to their own Ultimate threshold to immediately cast it. This chains across the team, enabling sequences where multiple Ultimates fire back-to-back in a single round — the core of her burst-window identity.
Is Moldir mandatory for Recoleta?
Prydwen states Moldir is 'tied to the hip' with Recoleta and provides approximately 50% performance uplift. While Recoleta functions without her, the damage ceiling is substantially lower and she loses the synergistic [Readiness] Crit Rate/DMG buffs that her constant Moxie consumption generates. If pulling Recoleta, plan to pull Moldir as well.
