Tower of Fantasy is available since August 11, 2022 and this new gacha game lets you experience a futuristic open-world adventure with an MMORPG aspect. Your goal is therefore not only to explore the different regions, to complete quests but also to summon characters and improve them. On ToF, the summoning system is a bit special and allows you to actually obtain weapons with various rarity levels: N - R - SR - SRR. Attached to these weapons are characters called Simulacrums only for SR and SSR rarities. Today, we are particularly interested in Bai Ling and his Nightingale Feather weapon.
Bai Ling: Presentation of the SR and banner
Bai Ling is part of the game's permanent banner (obtainable with Golden Nuclei - you get a guaranteed SR every 10 summons) but you also have a low chance of getting it on the very first temporary banner in the game (Nemesis ), which lasts from August 11, 2022 (game launch) to August 31, 2022, as well as on the purple banner.
- Gender : Female
- Height : 163cm
- Birthday date : May 8 (Taurus)
- Japanese voice : Rina Hidaka (Tristana in League of Legends)
Bai Ling skin
Unlike 5-Star Simulacrums (SSRs), SRs only have one skin and cannot unlock another one based on Awakening progression.

How is Bai Ling/Plume de Rossignol played and with whom/what weapon?
Bai Ling is a good primary DPS that revolves around dodging attacks with his 5th advancement, becoming a reliable source of the Serious Injury debuff. In short, you must constantly dodge at the right time with Bai Ling to benefit from its best assets and cause damage.
- His strengths : with his bow, Bai Ling can obviously spend most of his time attacking from a distance, which is not negligible to avoid losing HP too quickly. No need to make it work with a healer in the team but rather focus on melee damage and buffs with Nemesis and KING for example. Its other great strength is its Awakening, which greatly facilitates solo exploration with increased speed each time you stow the glider or jetboard.
- Its weak points : arrows cannot destroy shields, which is why a King will always be useful in the team.
Progression: how to improve Nightingale's Feather?
The 6 star levels
Each SR and SSR weapon can progress up to a 6-star level. Initially, your weapon will be at 0 stars and you will therefore have to improve it 6 times to reach the maximum level, but this means that you will have to obtain the same weapon 7 times to improve it.
- 1★: Restores 1 dodge attempt every five normal attacks or after using Piercing Shot.
- 2★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 10%.
- 3★: Increases headshot damage by 30%.
- 4★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 20%.
- 5★: Dodge skills inflict serious damage on targets for 7 seconds.
- 6★: Increases crit rate by 30% and crit damage by 50% against afflicted targets.
The necessary upgrade materials
In addition to improving the stars of your weapon, you can also strengthen it and increase it up to 4 times. Be careful, this costs materials but also Gold and sometimes requires having the right level of adventure. For Nightingale Feather, you will need the following materials:

Recommended matrices
There are only 4 die slots to put on your weapon. A bit like artifacts, the matrices work in sets: the more pieces of the same set you put, the more the set in question grants bonuses. For Nightingale Feather, it is recommended to boost the damage with a Samir 4-piece set.
