Dislyte Esper Guides: Ren Si (Black Tortoise)

Originating from Black Tortoise, one of the four Chinese constellations, Ren Si is an Inferno Defender Esper with the ability to Taunt the enemy into attacking him, whilst also being able to hit them with DEF debuffs. This makes him a great option as a Defender in your team and is also relatively easy to get hold of in the Echo.

Ren Si Details

Is Ren Si a Good Esper in Dislyte?

Ren Si is a solid option as Defender Esper in Dislyte. Although not as good as the Legendary Espers out there, being an Epic does make it easier to improve his Resonance with duplicate Espers. Indeed, we actually use him over Donar for this very reason!

Ren Si sees his damage scaling based on the relative difference between his and the target’s DEF which can see him doing big damage for a Defender. He also fills the role of a tank well by applying taunts to himself and firing out DEF debuffs to the enemies.

Ren Si Abilities

In battle, an Esper will utilize their abilities in order to deal damage to the enemy and support their team. All Dislyte Esper Abilities start at Level 1 and can be increased further depending on the ability. Each additional level will improve the ability in a certain way.

Ren Si Equipment

Ren Si’s main focus is defending his teammates against the enemy and also dealing damage based on his relative DEF versus the enemy. As such, focusing on sets that increase DEF should be a priority in order to improve his ability to soak out damage and deal it out.

In addition to this, as Ren Si will be taunting the enemy, it is important to have a set that will help him regain HP. Therefore, you should look to apply the following sets:

• Nether: HP regenerated at 35% of damage dealt.
• Stonevein: DEF +25%

Lastly, Ren Si’s Equipment characteristics should prioritize DEF, HP, ACC, and SPD.
