Explanation

OBJ Arts Identifier is the best weapon as its Pursuit essence grants team-wide Heat and Electric DMG buffs when applying Arts Burst or Physical Status, synergizing perfectly with Antal's Combo Skill.
The Eternal Xiranite set provides an additional team-wide DMG buff whenever Antal applies Amp or Susceptibility, which he does frequently.
All gear pieces focus on Ultimate Gain Efficiency to enable more frequent Ultimate casts, ensuring high uptime on Amp and the set bonus.
The off-piece Tide Fall Light Armor adds more Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Strength for healing.

Notes

  • Maximizes Ultimate uptime to keep Amp buffs active and trigger Eternal Xiranite set effect.

The early game build prioritizes energy recharge to get Antal's Ultimate online quickly. The Catastrophe set provides both passive Ultimate Gain Efficiency and an immediate SP injection at the start of battle, ensuring that Antal can buff the team early. Weapon options are flexible, but OBJ Arts Identifier remains the top choice for its synergistic team buff. This setup allows Antal to function effectively even with limited gear options.

Explanation

In the early game, the Catastrophe gear set is invaluable for its 20% Ultimate Gain Efficiency and initial SP recovery, helping Antal cast his Ultimate more often.
The weapon choice remains OBJ Arts Identifier for its potent team damage buffs, but Hypernova Auto or Jiminy 12 can be used as budget alternatives.
Focus on stacking Ultimate Gain Efficiency through gear to offset the lack of better artifacts.

Notes

  • Catastrophe set provides a large initial SP boost and passive Ultimate Gain Efficiency, perfect for early game when energy recharge is scarce.

Build Insights

Antal excels in Electric and Heat teams as a dedicated buffer and debuffer. He sets up an enemy with Focus, making them vulnerable to these elements, then boosts the entire team's damage with Amp. His Combo Skill encourages teams that can apply Physical Status or Arts Inflictions to double up on effects. He pairs well with carries like Laevatain, using his buffs right before their burst windows. The minor healing provides additional sustain.
Core Mechanics
  • Focus via Specified Research Subject: Applies Electric and Heat Susceptibility to a single enemy.
  • Amp via Overclocked Moment: Team-wide Electric and Heat Amp buffs for 12s.
  • Combo Skill EMP Test Site: When an enemy with Focus suffers Physical Status or Arts Infliction, triggers an extra stack.
  • Talent Improviser: Heals Amped teammates when their skill deals damage (once per 30s per operator).
Scaling
  • Utility scales primarily with skill levels for stronger buffs/debuffs.
  • Energy recharge (Ultimate Gain Efficiency) is crucial for frequent Ultimate casts.
  • Healing from Talent scales with Strength, but is secondary.

Character Notes

Antal is a 4-star Electric Supporter who excels at amplifying Electric and Heat damage while providing minor healing. His kit revolves around debuffing a single enemy with Focus and buffing the entire team with Amp. He is best used in teams that focus on these elements, where he can significantly boost overall damage output.
Playstyle
  • Use Specified Research Subject on a priority target to apply Electric and Heat Susceptibility. Lock-on ensures it lands on the right enemy.
  • Cast Overclocked Moment right before your main damage dealer unleashes their combo or ultimate to maximize the Amp buff's duration.
  • Let his EMP Test Site Combo Skill trigger automatically when allies apply Physical Status or Arts Inflictions for an extra stack.
  • Position Antal safely as he provides support from the backline; his healing Talent will passively sustain buffed teammates.
Strengths
  • Dual-element Amp and Susceptibility greatly buffs team damage.
  • Long-duration debuff (60s Focus) requires minimal reapplication.
  • Provides minor healing, adding sustainability.
  • Combo Skill can double-stack status effects for more crowd control or damage.
Weaknesses
  • Only effective in Electric or Heat teams; useless in other compositions.
  • Personal damage is negligible.
  • Requires building Ultimate Gain Efficiency to function optimally; energy-hungry without gear.

Team Guide

elemental electric_team
Antal enables a powerful Electric team by applying Focus and Electric Susceptibility to amplify damage. Arclight acts as the primary SP battery, charging skills quickly. Zhuang Fangyi serves as the main DPS, utilizing Battle Skill and multiple Combo Skill triggers to stack Sunderblades and unleash devastating Final Strike attacks. Perlica provides additional Electric application and Combo Skill synergy, ensuring a steady flow of Electrification for Arclight to consume. The team excels at rapid rotation cycles, maximizing Zhuang Fangyi's burst potential.

Team Insights

Antal is a versatile support who specializes in amplifying elemental damage by applying Focus and susceptibility debuffs. He excels in teams that rely on consistent elemental infliction stacks, as his Combo Skill can reapply or duplicate existing stacks. Pair him with a primary DPS that feeds on infliction consumption (like Zhuang Fangyi, Avywenna, or Laevatain), an SP battery (Arclight or Akekuri), and a sub-DPS who can maintain infliction uptime. His Ultimate further boosts teamwide damage during critical burst windows.
Synergy Patterns
  • Antal's Combo Skill can re-trigger an existing infliction, effectively doubling the stack build speed for characters like Laevatain who rely on Heat Infliction consumption.
  • In Electric teams, Antal works with Perlica to rapidly apply Electrification, which Arclight consumes for SP, creating a tight feedback loop.
  • Antal's Ultimate provides a massive damage amp that should be timed with the main DPS's burst phase, especially after setting up full stacks of Sunderblades or Melting Flame.
Tips
  • Place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi in the team menu so her Combo Skill triggers first, applying Electrification before Arclight's interaction.
  • In the Heat team, ensure Laevatain's Final Strike consistently consumes heat stacks to rapidly build Melting Flame stacks.
  • Antal's Battle Skill should always be used at the start of a rotation to maximize the duration of Focus and susceptibility debuffs.
  • When using Avywenna, pay attention to Thunderlance positioning; cast her Battle Skill when enemies are between her and the lances for full damage.

Antal's favorite is Cosmic Gate Puzzle; Breeze of Kjersch is also acceptable.

Member of Endfield Operations Team Z7, Antal is a clever but blunt Supporter specializing in Originium Technology. He constantly seeks to test his orbiters, though his poor social skills sometimes lead to misplaced comments. He bears a strong resemblance to 12F from Arknights, suggesting a possible connection.
