Sephiria Preset Settings: How to Save and Use Build Presets

Use Sephiria preset settings to save a repeatable plan for a weapon, Artifact direction, Tablet layout, and defensive fallback. A preset is a starting point for a run; it is not a guarantee that the same rewards will appear.

Save a preset

1. Open the current in-game preset or build settings screen.
2. Choose a clear name based on weapon, difficulty, or purpose.
3. Record the core weapon, main Artifact direction, Tablet goal, and fallback.
4. Save only after checking the active board and current patch.
5. Load the preset in a safe room and verify each slot before committing to a run.

What to verify after loading

• The weapon branch matches the plan.
• The active inventory cells are not confused with Side Bag storage.
• Tablet adjacency still exists after placement.
• The selected difficulty and patch assumptions are still valid.
• A defensive option remains available if the ideal reward does not appear.

Version 1.0.24 included a fix for the Preset Settings UI. If a preset looks wrong after an update, reopen the settings screen and verify the live tooltips instead of copying an old screenshot.

A practical preset structure

Name a preset so that another session can understand it without reopening the original run. Include the weapon, difficulty, main effect direction, and the problem the preset is designed to solve. “Staff hard mode defense” is more useful than “test 3” because it tells you what to keep and what may be changed. Add a short fallback note for the first reward that does not match the plan.

Keep the core small. A weapon, one damage direction, one defensive answer, and a board-space rule are enough to define a repeatable plan. A preset that lists every possible reward is not a preset; it is a wish list. Use the Recommended Builds guide for the starting direction, then save only the decisions you can actually test.

Preset recovery after a bad load

If a loaded preset appears incomplete, do not immediately delete it. First compare the stored plan with the active board, the Side Bag, and the current tooltip. Confirm whether the missing item was never part of the saved state or whether it is simply stored outside the active layout. Then test the preset in a safe room and record the exact mismatch.

If the problem started after an update, capture the version and whether the issue affects one slot or every preset. A UI display issue, a changed item rule, and a failed save have different symptoms. Check the Sephiria Patch Notes before rebuilding all of your saved plans.

Presets for different run goals

Use a learning preset with forgiving recovery, a ranged preset with a close-range fallback, a companion preset with enough personal damage to survive when the companion is unavailable, and a Hard Mode preset that gives defense priority over a theoretical maximum. A Tablet-testing preset should contain one relationship and at least one empty or flexible cell. These presets should share a naming scheme but remain separate, because a plan that is good for testing a combo may be too fragile for progression.

Preset maintenance checklist

Review a preset when a weapon effect changes, an Artifact threshold changes, a Tablet interaction is adjusted, a difficulty modifier is rebalanced, or the interface no longer displays saved slots as expected. Open the preset, compare it with the Patch Notes, and update the date in your own notes. If the plan is still useful but no longer exact, mark it as an older version instead of silently overwriting the history.

Do not create a preset for every possible branch. Three or four purposeful presets are easier to test than a large collection of nearly identical plans. Keep one baseline for learning, one for the weapon you use most, one for Hard Mode or co-op, and one temporary slot for a mechanic experiment. Delete the temporary slot only after recording what the experiment proved.

Preset settings and accessibility

The preset screen should be readable before a run starts. Check the selected label, current difficulty, active weapon, and visible item slots without relying on color alone. If a setting is difficult to identify, note its text and verify it in the current UI. A reproducible plan is useful only when another session can load it and understand what it is supposed to do.

Preset versus active inventory

Use the Build Presets guide for planning principles. Use the Inventory Grid guide for active placement and the Side Bag guide for reserve items. These are separate concerns even when they appear next to each other in the interface.
