Build Notes

Pogranichnik — endgame support

Best in Slot

This endgame build maximizes Pogranichnik's SP battery and team buffing capabilities. Thermite Cutter amplifies party ATK, while Frontiers set provides CD reduction and a teamwide damage bonus after SP recovery. The off-piece armor accelerates Ultimate, ensuring consistent SP generation and Fervent Morale uptime. Ideal for mono-physical teams where Vulnerability stacks are plentiful.

Thermite Cutter is chosen because its passive increases ATK for the whole party after restoring SP, directly boosting Pogranichnik's own Fervent Morale buff and overall team damage.

Never Rest, while his signature, offers Physical DMG% that oversaturates from gear bonuses, making it less efficient for support; use if Thermite Cutter unavailable.

Frontiers 2-piece set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a 16% DMG boost to the team after recovering SP, aligning with his core loop.

Bonekrusha Poncho T1 as an off-piece provides faster Ultimate energy and attribute boosts, improving SP recovery frequency.

Frontiers set provides Combo Skill CD reduction and a teamwide DMG buff after SP recovery, synergizing perfectly with Pogranichnik's SP generation.
Bonekrusha Poncho T1 (off-piece) accelerates Ultimate charge and boosts Will and Agility, enhancing both survivability and support stats.
Thermite Cutter is preferred over signature weapon due to its teamwide ATK buff that amplifies Fervent Morale's impact.

Pogranichnik — early game support

Best in Slot

This early game build focuses on solidifying Pogranichnik's support role with accessible gear. The Mordvolt Resistant set boosts his main stat Will and provides a safety net, while Thermite Cutter (if obtainable) adds team ATK. This setup allows him to function as a reliable SP battery and buffer during the early stages of the game.

In early game, survivability and main stat (Will) are prioritized. Mordvolt Resistant set grants +50 Will and a healing bonus under 50% HP.

Thermite Cutter is the best early weapon because it can be obtained alongside Pogranichnik on the New Horizons banner and provides Will and team ATK.

If Thermite Cutter is not available, Sundering Steel serves as a fallback for personal damage, though it offers no team utility.

Mordvolt Resistant set increases Will and provides a Treatment Effect bonus when HP is low, improving survivability.
Thermite Cutter is accessible from the New Horizons banner and provides Will and team ATK buffs.
Sundering Steel is a budget option that only boosts personal damage, lacking team support.

Alesh — endgame support

Rank #2

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Alesh's SP generation and team support capabilities. With Finchaser 3.0 and the Frontiers gear set, he becomes a reliable Cryo battery that also enhances the team's damage. The Eternal Xiranite Gloves further smooths his Ultimate rotation. Stat priorities emphasize Cryo damage, Ultimate damage, and Ultimate gain to keep his skills cycling.

Finchaser 3.0 is chosen because it amplifies Alesh's Cryo damage and Strength, aligning with his main stat and role.

The Frontiers set is ideal because its bonus triggers off Alesh's frequent SP recovery, granting the team a 16% damage buff for 15 seconds.

Using two Frontiers Comm T1 cores provides Cryo DMG Bonus, while the Eternal Xiranite Gloves boost Ultimate gain efficiency, ensuring his Ultimate is available more often.

Finchaser 3.0 is Alesh's signature weapon and greatly boosts his Cryo damage and team utility.

This setup ensures consistent team support and effective rotation.

Frontiers enhances her SP generation loop and provides additional team damage, while the off-piece Redeemer Seal compensates for stats.

If Thermite Cutter is unavailable, OBJ Edge of Lightness offers Heat and Electric damage buffs, and Fortmaker provides stats but lacks a team buff.

The Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown by 15% and grants a 16% team damage buff after SP recovery, synergizing with Arclight's role.
Redeemer Seal as an off-piece provides Intellect and Ultimate Gain, boosting her talent and Ultimate uptime.

Arclight — early game support

Best in Slot

This early game build focuses on maximizing Arclight's Intellect to strengthen her teamwide Electric DMG buff. The Mordvolt Insulation set grants a significant Intellect boost and conditional Arts damage, while Thermite Cutter provides an Attack buff for the whole party. It's a straightforward, effective setup for new players progressing through the early to mid game.

In the early game, Arclight benefits most from high Intellect to enhance her Wildland Trekker buff. Mordvolt Insulation directly boosts Intellect and provides conditional Arts DMG.

Akekuri — endgame support

Best in Slot
