How to get Topaz and Accountant
This heroine can only be obtained during the event Jump called “Interstellar Corporate Employee”. In the near future, this banner will be launched as part of the second phase of patch 1.4. If you want to be one of the first to know about her next rerun, we advise you to bookmark this article.
Let’s add that HoYoverse has never given 5-star characters for completing various events, so you can only unlock Topaz with the help of Jumping.
Progression of characteristics of Topaz and Accountant
In the table below you can see how the heroine's basic parameters change as her level increases.
| Level | Attack Power | Protection | HP | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 84 | 56 | 127 | 110 |
| 20 | 165 | 109 | 247 | 110 |
| 40 | 317 | 210 | 475 | 110 |
| 60 | 469 | 311 | 703 | 110 |
| 80 | 621 | 412 | 931 | 110 |
Note that her critical damage, critical hit chance and taunt are 50%, 5% and 75 units respectively at any level, and her energy reserve is 130 units.
Advantages and disadvantages of Topaz
Thanks to her unique abilities, Topaz can quickly deal with powerful single opponents. Its advantages also include:
- Gives a buff to bonus attacks not only to herself, but to all allies in the squad, which brings her a little closer to the role of a support character.
- Pairs well with some free characters, such as Asta, who can increase the attack power, speed and fire damage of allies.
- The Counter is able to deal several hits at once in one turn, and all of them will be considered bonus attacks.
- Relatively easy to use when you need to quickly destroy one enemy.
- Significantly strengthens teams playing through bonus attacks. Breathes new life into the Joy path in the Virtual Universe.
- The Accountant is able to restore Topaz's energy, which reduces the need to increase the heroine's energy recovery.
- Critical damage is increased by superpowers, and the chance of inflicting crit. impact - traces. All this simplifies character assembly.
- The KMM employee's technique makes it much easier to find ordinary chests and piggy banks, since the Accountant not only shows the location of the nearest treasures, but also does not allow the pigs to run away at the sight of the player.
However, there are some downsides, some of which follow directly from its advantages:
- The lack of AoE attacks makes her less attractive when you need to quickly deal with a large number of enemies or fight a boss that can summon minions.
- Topaz lacks synergy with the damage over time from Burn, so it is not very suitable for creating fire mono-packs. In addition, Fire itself is currently not a very popular element due to its mediocre buffs.
- She will be able to fully reveal her combat potential only with other characters aimed at delivering bonus attacks, for example, with Himeko, Clara, March 7, and so on. This imposes certain restrictions on configuring commands.
- The Accountant stops his attacks if Topaz is affected by debuffs that take control of the character away from the player. As a result, the squad's overall DPS will decrease significantly.
- Among the light cones of the “Hunt” path, there are very few options aimed specifically at enhancing bonus attacks.
Topaz and Accountant Abilities
When using a basic attack "Shortage..." She deals fire damage to the enemy equal to 50~130% of her attack power. At the same time, it restores 20 units of energy and penetrates 30 units of durability.
Note: At the same time, thanks to the “Overexpenditure” trail, Topaz’s basic hits begin to count as bonus attacks, receiving all the buffs from the skill and allowing the Accountant’s action to move forward.
After using the skill "Difficulties with payment" she gains the ability to impose a Certificate of Debt on any enemy, increasing the damage from bonus attacks by 25-62.5%. This status can only exist on one target at a time. If none of the enemies have this status, then the heroine automatically applies it to a random target during the ally’s turn or at the beginning of her action.
Let's add that the Accountant immediately attacks the selected target, inflicting fire damage in the amount of 75-187.5% of the hostess's attack power. Using this skill is considered a bonus attack. When an ally hits a status enemy with a bonus attack, the piggy bank's action advances by 50%. The last effect does not work if the Accountant is walking.
Using a superpower “From loss to profit!”, she puts the Accountant into “Astonishing Growth!” mode, in which his damage multiplier increases by 75-187.5% and critical damage by 12.5-31.25%. In addition, the piggy bank's action moves forward by 50% if an enemy with a Certificate of Debt receives damage from a basic hit, ult or skill of an ally. After two attacks, the Accountant returns to his normal state.
As for the heroine’s passive talent - “Pig market?!”, then it allows you to summon the Accountant at the very beginning of the battle, whose speed is 80 units. During its action, it inflicts fire damage in the amount of 75-187.5% of the hostess's attack power. Its effect can be advanced by 50% with the help of bonus attacks from allies.
It is also impossible not to mention the technology "subsidy", the use of which summons the Accountant in the open world (technique points are not spent). The animal will automatically start looking for the nearest ordinary chests and space piggy banks, which will not run away from you when approaching.
If you use the technique and then enter into battle, then after the first hit of the Accountant, Topaz will recover 60 units of energy. By winning the battle, you will receive additional credits - in one real day you can get a maximum of 10 thousand credits. In the Virtual Universe, you will mine additional fragments (sometimes a random curiosity may drop).
Traces of Topaz and Accountant
In addition to the above abilities, the heroine’s leveling tree also includes other enhancements that provide passive bonuses or permanent increases to characteristics. You can see them all in the picture below.
Eidolons Topaz and Accountant
To unlock them, materials of the same name are required, which are issued when duplicates of the heroine appear, which, of course, is random. And considering the rarity of 5-star character drops, be prepared to spend a lot of money and time on this. Fortunately, even without eidolons, Topaz can easily serve as the team's main damage dealer.
If you plan to knock out only E1-E2, then we advise you to better spend these resources on getting the heroine’s signature weapon, since it will be much more useful. If you already have a signature, then you can stop at the first Eidolon, which will significantly increase the critical damage from bonus attacks.
- Market of the Future – imposes the “Enforce” effect on an enemy with a Certificate of Debt when he receives a bonus attack (works once per hit). This status increases the critical damage the target receives from bonus attacks by 25%. The bonus can be stacked up to two times.
- Friendly acquisition - when the Accountant performs an action and strike, the heroine regenerates 5 units of energy. Allows Topaz to ult more often, paying less attention to HE. Not a bad Eidolon, but not worth the effort.
- Grab a large one, release a small one - the skill level increases by two, and the basic attack - by one. The maximum level for the first increases to 15, and for the second – to 10. Slightly increases overall damage.
- Flexible control - advances Topaz's action forward by 20% after the start of the piggy bank's turn. The heroine will be able to use the bonus attack more often, and, therefore, the Accountant will attack more often.
- Demand inflation – the level of ult and talent increases by two. The maximum level for both increases to 15. Increases overall damage well.
- Reward mechanism – increases the number of hits of the Accountant in enhanced mode by one. Penetration of fire vulnerability increases by 10%. Makes the piggy bank even more dangerous.
How to play as Topaz and the Accountant
Topaz and the Accountant can be considered two separate characters, acting as a single unit and focused on dealing damage to a single target. However, the majority of their potential damage comes from the piggy bank, which functions similarly to Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord, inflicting bonus attacks on enemies.
However, keep in mind that the Accountant has its own turn order, and its base speed is not equal to Topaz's speed. Additionally, unlike the Lightning Lord, this beast is able to push its action forward, dealing damage multiple times in one turn if you plan your moves strategically.
It should be remembered that the Accountant deals maximum damage while under the influence of his ultimate, so your main task will be to activate it as often as possible. To do this, you will have to pay more attention to restoring the heroine’s energy. The optimal rotation for Topaz would look like this:
- Before attacking the enemy, use the Topaz technique so that after the first hit of the Accountant, the heroine will immediately receive the energy necessary to activate her ult faster.
- Use the Topaz skill on the selected enemy so that the Accountant will immediately hit him, causing increased damage with a bonus attack. This will also increase the damage of other team members using this type of attack.
- In normal mode, you can force the piggy bank to attack more often only with the help of bonus attacks. Luckily, thanks to the Overextend trail, all of the heroine's basic hits will count as bonus attacks, so you can just hit your opponents with regular hits.
- Once the superpower is ready, you need to use it immediately, which will significantly increase the damage the Piggy Bank does. In addition, almost any allied attacks will now advance its action, so the Accountant will be able to attack 2-3 times in just one turn.
- At the same time, his attacks will restore Topaz’s energy, so with a high VE indicator, she will be able to reuse her ult as quickly as possible.
In addition, do not forget that the Topaz skill enhances any bonus attacks, benefiting all party members, and not just yourself. This aspect allows her to interact more effectively with other heroes who use a similar type of attacks, improving their overall synergy within the pack. So, it is possible to fully develop the heroine’s potential only if there are certain sub-DDs and supports in the team.
Best builds for Topaz and Accountant
Best Light Cones
The attacking characteristics of the Accountant depend on the similar parameters of Topaz, that is, when its critical damage increases in enhanced mode, it is the critical damage of the owner that is taken as the base, and the frequency of crit. hits will depend on the crit chance. hit by a KMM employee.
Thus, you should look for light cones that increase attack power, critical damage, critical strike chance, or damage from bonus attacks. The table below presents the most interesting options.
| Name | Characteristics | Ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Anxiety and Bliss (5 stars) |
HP: 48-1058 Attack Power: 26-582 Defense: 21-463 |
Increases the chance of inflicting crit. hit by 18-30%, and damage from a bonus attack by 30-50%. The Taming effect is applied to the enemy after being hit by a bonus hit. It can be stacked up to two times. Each level increases critical damage against it by 12-20%. Topaz's signature weapon, which enhances all of her main aspects, from crits to bonus attacks. |
|
Dead's Dream (5 stars) |
HP: 48~1058 Attack Power: 26~582 Defense: 21~463 |
Increases critical damage by 30-50%. If the basic hit or skill does not cause critical damage, then the chance of inflicting a critical hit. attack increases by 36-60% for one turn. The bonus is triggered once every three turns. Allows you to significantly increase crits, which will have a beneficial effect on Topaz’s damage. So you can give it away if you don't have Yanqin or don't use it. |
|
Galaxy Cruise (5 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 24~529 Defense: 21~463 |
Increases the chance of landing a critical hit by 8-16%. Gives an additional 8-16% to crit. chance when fighting enemies whose health is equal to or below 50%. After defeating an enemy, the wearer's attack power increases by 20-40% for 2 turns. Its main advantage is that it is free, since you can buy it in Gerta's store while going through worlds Virtual universe. With it, the Accountant will be able to deal his giant critical damage more often. Increasing attack power will further increase damage from bonus attacks. |
|
Fencing (4 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 21~476 Defense: 15~330 |
When attacking one enemy several times, the damage for each subsequent hit increases by 8-16% and can be stacked up to five times. Slightly behind in damage from the previous cone with the 5th overlay. So if you gave Galaxy Cruise, for example, to Zela, then you can safely give Fencing to Topaz. In the end, everyone will be happy. |
|
All that remains is silence (4 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 21~476 Defense: 15~330 |
Increases attack power by 16-32%. If there are 2 or fewer enemies on the battlefield, the chance of landing a critical hit increases by 12-24%. Ideal for fighting single bosses. Increases Topaz's attack power, and therefore the Accountant's damage, and also gives her the critical hits she needs. True, the second part of the passive only works in certain situations, so you can hold on to this weapon when you need to quickly deal with a strong single enemy who is not able to summon assistants. |
|
Arrows (3 stars) |
HP: 38~846 Attack Power: 14~317 Protection: 12~264 |
Increases your critical strike chance by 12-24% for three turns. A good starting cone that will allow the piggy bank to criticize more often in the first minutes of the battle. |
The best relics
Unfortunately, at this point in time, Topaz lacks any complete set of relics that can realize her full potential. Of course you can collect the whole set "Blacksmith of Fire and Lava", however, its 4 parts increase the damage from the skill, which is useless for the heroine, since after using the skill the Accountant hits the enemy, which is considered a bonus attack.
For this reason, we advise you to take two incomplete sets for now:
- Fire and Lava Smith: 2 parts – increases fire damage by 10%, which is useful for both Topaz and the Accountant.
- Wild Wheat Shooter: 2 parts – increases attack power by 12%, which again will be beneficial to both characters.
In addition, using two sets will simplify your selection of characteristics. Now let's move on to planar jewelry, which is mined in the Virtual Universe. The list below shows the recommended options (the numbers indicate the priority of choice):
| Planar decoration | Bonuses | Reasons for choice |
|---|---|---|
|
1) Frozen Salsotto |
2 pieces: Increases critical strike chance by 8%. If this parameter exceeds 50%, then the damage from the ult and bonus attacks will increase by 15%. | The best option for Topaz, capable of significantly increasing its overall damage. Score 50% in crit. It may be difficult, but quite possible. |
|
2) Space sealing station |
2 parts: increases ATK by 12%. Gives another 12% to this parameter if the character’s speed is equal to or exceeds 120 units. | A good alternative to the previous artifact, if it has more suitable characteristics. Topaz's speed is also important, because the more often she walks and hits with a bonus attack, the more hits the piggy bank can deliver. So you are likely to reach 120 units, which means you will activate the decoration passive. |
|
3) Living Wonwak |
2 parts: increase energy recovery rate by 5%. Advances the wearer's action forward by 40% if their speed is equal to or greater than 120. | It will allow you to use your ultimate and bonus attacks more often, which will have a positive effect on the overall damage. You can take it if you have good attributes. |
Concerning characteristics of relics, then you need to choose as follows:
- Body: critical damage or critical hit chance (choose the second if you were unable to bring this parameter to at least 50% with additional stats)
- Legs: speed or attack power (the first option is preferable for longer battles, and the second for short ones; the overall DPS from speed begins to exceed from ATK at about 6-7 turns)
- Planar Sphere: Fire Damage or Attack Power%
- Connecting rope: energy recovery (will allow you to ult more often, and, therefore, strengthen the piggy bank) or attack power%
- Additional characteristics: critical damage > critical hit chance > attack power % > speed.
Best commands for Topaz
We have already noted above that this heroine goes well with other characters who deal bonus attacks, since she is able to enhance their attacks. Plus, such fighters will trigger the Accountant's attacks.
In addition, while Topaz is busy destroying one enemy, for example, a boss, the second damage dealer will be able to start destroying ordinary mobs, so it will be useful to take into your squad a character who can deal damage to several enemies at the same time. We are talking about Himeko, Blade, Clara, Jing Yuan and so on.
Of course, the team must have a good healer or shielder to keep allies in fighting condition. As for the buffer, take one that can increase speed, attack power, critical damage, overall damage and/or energy recovery. The table below presents some of the most interesting options.
| Maine-DD | Sub-DD | Sub-DD/Support | Support |

Upgrading Topaz
How to increase abilities (what to download first)
The pictures below demonstrate the materials and their quantities required to maximize the basic attack, skill, superpower and talent.
- Hunter, Demon Slayer, and Starhunter arrows are obtained from the "Bud of the Hunt" sepal located in the Suburban Snowfields, or through Synthesis.
- The Silvermane Guard Badge, Insignia, and Medal are dropped from Shadows, Silvermane Guards, and Rogues, as well as from quests and enemies in the Virtual Universe. They can be purchased for unquenchable ash or created using Synthesis.
- Repentance of the Eternal False Body - obtained from the Echo of War located in the Scaly Gorge (Lofu Xianzhou).
- Imprints of Fate - obtained in the Virtual Universe, issued with a battle pass and purchased for unquenchable ashes in the Pom-Pom store. Sometimes they are a reward in temporary events.
As for the priority of leveling up abilities, we advise you to focus on talent and superpowers, since the piggy bank will walk and strike more often within the scope of the talent, and not the skill. Then pump up the skill (may be 1-2 levels behind the first two) and the basic attack (also important, since we are talking about another bonus attack).
How to level up a character
At certain levels you will need to elevate the heroine by spending a large amount of resources and credits:
- Ascension (level 30): credits x4000 and silvermane guard badge x5
- Ascension (level 40): credits x8000 and silvermane guard badge x10
- Ascension (level 50): credits x16000, silver-maned guardian insignia x6 and red-hot blade x3
- Ascension (level 60): credits x40000, silvermane guards insignia x9 and red-hot blade x7
- Exaltation (level 70): credits x80000, medal of the silver-maned guards x6 and red-hot blade x20
- Exaltation (level 80): credits x160000, medal of the silver-maned guards x9 and red-hot blade x35
The Molten Blade can be obtained from the stagnant shadow "Shape of the Burn", located in the Great Mine (Yarilo-VI).
