Build Notes

Wulfgard — endgame dps

Rank #3

The DPS build focuses on maximizing the damage of Wulfgard’s enhanced Thermite Tracers by first applying Combustion via Frag Grenade·β and then consuming it. The Hot Work gear set grants a temporary 50% Heat DMG increase upon inflicting Combustion, while Clannibal further debuffs the enemy's Arts Resistance. Together, they create a burst window where the Battle Skill’s additional hit deals massive Heat damage. This build is ideal for teams that can reliably set up non-Heat Inflictions, allowing Wulfgard to trigger the chain himself.

Clannibal is the top choice because its Infliction essence raises Arts DMG and applies a debuff on the target when consuming an Arts Reaction, amplifying the devastating additional hit of Thermite Tracers.

Wedge works as a reliable alternative, offering similar Arts DMG buffs that stack after skill cast and reaction application, and is obtainable from the weapon selector.

Rational Farewell and Long Road are budget-friendly options that boost ATK or Battle Skill DMG, but they lack the dedicated Arts DMG Taken debuff that makes Clannibal superior.

The Hot Work gear set directly increases Heat DMG for 10 seconds after Combustion is applied, which is the exact condition Wulfgard creates before his main nuke.

Each piece of Hot Work provides Strength, Agility, and Arts Intensity, all key stats for his output.

Prioritize triggering Combustion with Frag Grenade·β before using Thermite Tracers to maximize damage.
The Clannibal weapon excels at increasing the enemy's Arts DMG Taken after an Arts Reaction, boosting both personal and team damage.
Hot Work set's Heat DMG bonus after applying Combustion aligns perfectly with Wulfgard's burst windows.

Wulfgard — early game dps

Best in Slot

This early-game build aims to boost Wulfgard’s raw damage output through straightforward ATK and Skill DMG enhancements. Aburrey’s Legacy gear increases both Skill DMG and ATK when any skill is used, aligning with Wulfgard’s frequent skill usage. Rational Farewell further augments ATK when he triggers an Arts Reaction, which he does naturally. While not as specialized as the endgame Heat DMG setup, this configuration provides a strong foundation for mid-game content.

Rational Farewell is the best early weapon due to its easy conditional ATK boost and Heat DMG secondary stat, both directly useful for Wulfgard.

Long Road is a fine alternative if obtained first, as it also raises ATK after combo skill casts, but lacks the Heat DMG synergy.

The Aburrey’s Legacy set is chosen because its Skill DMG bonus affects all of Wulfgard’s abilities, and the ATK stacking buff from casting Battle, Combo, or Ultimate skills builds up quickly in battle.

The gloves piece from Armored MSGR provides Attack % which is more beneficial than a pure defense piece at this stage.

Rational Farewell provides a solid ATK boost when applying Arts Burst or Combustion, which is easy to trigger with Wulfgard’s kit.
Aburrey’s Legacy set gives a flat Skill DMG increase and additional ATK when using any skill, making it a great all-rounder for early progression.
The Armored MSGR Gloves T1 piece, though from a different set, still complements the build with extra Attack %; prioritise completing the Aburrey’s Legacy set effect first.
