Build Notes

Catcher — endgame support

Best in Slot

The endgame support build turns Catcher into a durable defensive support that can heal and buff allies. Former Finery scales his shields and adds a reactive heal, while the Frontiers set shortens his Combo Skill cooldown and provides a team damage amplifier. This build maximizes his ability to protect and empower Physical teams, making him a solid choice for extended battles.

Former Finery is chosen for its synergy with Catcher’s scaling: Will boosts his DEF through Resilient Defense, and the heal effect keeps allies alive.

The Frontiers set amplifies his support by lowering crucial Timely Suppression cooldown and providing a team‑wide DMG buff when he recovers SP via Rigid Interdiction.

For alternatives, OBJ Heavy Burden gives massive DEF for stronger shields and is easier to obtain, while Seeker of Dark Lung boosts ATK and ultimate gain if you prefer more damage.

Former Finery provides massive Will and HP, enabling stronger shields via his DEF conversion talent.
The weapon heals protected operators whenever they take damage, improving team sustain.
Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a team damage buff after using Battle Skill, perfect for support.

Ember — endgame support

Rank #2

This endgame sustain build maximizes Ember's role as a defensive anchor. Thunderberge and LYNX gear together create a constant stream of shields, healing, and damage reduction for the team. Stat priorities target HP, Strength, and HP Treatment Efficiency to ensure her heals and shields remain potent. The build is flexible enough to replace Thunderberge with high-HP weapons or Former Finery if durability needs outweigh the shield gimmick.

Thunderberge is the best weapon because it adds a shield after every Combo Skill, patching any gaps in survivability. Essence priority boosts healing and shield strength.

LYNX gear is optimal: HP Treatment Efficiency amplifies Ember's heals, and the team-wide DMG reduction triggers consistently through her Combo Skill. Off-set Eternal Xiranite Power Core charges Ultimate faster.

Alternatives like Former Finery or Finishing Call are viable when Thunderberge is unavailable, focusing on HP/Will stats and healing power.

The LYNX set provides HP Treatment Efficiency and all-type DMG reduction for allies after healing, greatly increasing team durability.
Thunderberge grants shields after using Combo Skill, directly synergyzing with Ember's reactive healing.
Former Finery is a strong F2P alternative, offering HP, Will, and HP restoration, while Finishing Call buffs HP treatment.

Ember — early game support

Best in Slot

The early-game build prioritizes accessible gear and weapons that boost Ember's survivability without heavy investment. Former Finery's HP and healing stats, paired with the Armored MSGR set's defensive perks, make her a reliable tank from the start. This setup ensures she can fulfill her sustain role in all early content and easily transition into the endgame build.

Former Finery is obtainable from the New Horizons weapon selector, offering a straightforward stat stick for survivability. Early essence priorities lean into efficacy and HP to keep the team alive.

Armored MSGR gear is easy to farm early and directly contributes to Ember's tankiness via Strength and conditional DMG reduction. The double Flashlight setup is a common placeholder until better cores are acquired.

If Former Finery is not available, Quencher fills the gap with similar HP/Will scaling.

Former Finery boosts HP, Will, and HP restoration, making it the easiest and most effective early-game choice.
Armored MSGR set increases Strength (base HP) and provides DMG reduction when HP is low, perfectly aligning with Ember's tanking nature.
Quencher serves as an accessible alternative with HP and Will boosts.

Snowshine — endgame support

Best in Slot

This endgame build maximizes Snowshine’s healing and defensive support. Former Finery provides reactive healing outside her combo, and the LYNX set turns every heal into a damage reduction buff. Prioritize Efficacy and Will for stronger heals, and let your LYNX armor and gloves further boost Treatment Bonus and Ultimate uptime. Use this setup when you need sustained durability and reliable Cryo application in high‑difficulty content.

Former Finery was chosen because it triggers a secondary heal when a Protected ally takes damage, covering Snowshine’s weakness of being limited to her Combo Skill for sustain.

The LYNX gear set amplifies her healing while adding a defensive layer through damage reduction, making her team much tankier in prolonged fights.

Thunderberge is an alternative if you want additional shields, while Finishing Call and Quencher are F2P options that still boost healing.

LYNX set increases Treatment Efficiency and grants 15% DMG Reduction to healed allies (30% if overheal).
Former Finery allows out-of‑Combo healing and scales with Will, synergizing perfectly with LYNX’s focus on healing output.

Snowshine — early game support

Best in Slot

This early game build focuses on accessible gear that enhances Snowshine’s healing and survivability. Former Finery provides a safety net with its reactive heal, and Mordvolt Resistant set grants a solid Will stat and a heal boost when endangered. It’s a straightforward setup that lets her function well as a Cryo‑applying sustain unit even before obtaining higher‑tier gear.

Former Finery is ideal even early because it adds an unconditional heal proc, greatly improving Snowshine’s ability to keep allies alive before unlocking her Combo Skill upgrades.

Mordvolt Resistant gear is farmable early and the Will bonus directly increases her healing output, while the low‑HP conditional heal synergizes with her emergency response playstyle.

Mordvolt Resistant set boosts Will and activates an extra 30% Treatment Effect when HP is low, helping Snowshine clutch-heal.
Former Finery is easily obtainable from the New Horizons weapon selector, making it the go‑to early weapon.
