CorePoet of Mourning Collapse

Specialist set intended for use on characters with kits that do not require Speed or that have other ways of accessing it in combat. On characters where this set is viable, the CRIT RATE buff is enough to offset the -8% Speed penalty and the sacrifice of building no Speed before battle. Imbibitor Lunae is most often played with a Hyperspeed Action advancer like Sparkle or Sunday that makes any increases or decreases to Speed irrelevant. When played this way, Imbibitor can ignore the main downside of this set and reap huge rewards. This set is only usable and the best when playing him in this way!

2PCIncreases Quantum DMG by 10%.

4PCDecreases the wearer's SPD by 8%. Before entering battle, if the wearer's SPD is lower than 110/95, increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 20%/32%. This effect applies to the wearer's memosprite at the same time.
