Arclight

A

early game sub dps

sp_generator sub_dps buffer electric
Arclight is an A-tier Vanguard who provides SP generation for the team through her low-cooldown Combo Skill, but requires Electric Infliction to trigger. She fits best in teams with another source of Electric Infliction. Her Battle Skill offers a team-wide Electric DMG buff, albeit at a net SP loss, making it situational.
A beginner-friendly build that balances Arclight's damage and team support. With Thermite Cutter and the Roving MSGR set, she can contribute solid DPS while buffing the team's ATK, relying on simple stat boosts until better gear is acquired.

Insights

Core Mechanics

  • Uses Combo Skill: Peal of Thunder to recover SP when enemies are affected by Electrification or when Electrification is consumed.
  • Ultimate: Exploding Blitz applies Electrification, enabling her own Combo Skill.
  • Battle Skill: Tempestuous Arc consumes Electrification for extra damage and SP; every third consumption triggers a team Electric DMG buff based on Intellect.

Scaling

  • Early game, she focuses on SP generation; late game, with gear and weapons, she becomes a sub‑DPS buffer.
  • Scales primarily with Agility and Intellect.

Team Role

Arclight operates as an off-field Vanguard, providing SP recovery to the team through her Combo Skill. She synergizes well with other Electric-element characters who can maintain Electrification. Her role is to use Combo Skill whenever possible, then trigger it again via her own Ultimate. She's best placed as a sub-DPS in Electric-centric teams, where her occasional team buff can enhance overall damage.

Explanation

Thermite Cutter remains the top choice even early on, as it can be obtained from the New Horizons weapon selector and offers a valuable team ATK buff.
Roving MSGR set is accessible early and provides a straightforward damage increase through Agility and Physical DMG bonuses, which benefit her most frequently used Combo Skill.
This setup covers both personal damage and team support without requiring advanced gear, making it perfect for story progression and early challenges.

Notes

  • Early game build that boosts Arclight's raw damage output while still providing team buffs via Thermite Cutter.
  • The Roving MSGR set grants bonus Agility and Physical DMG when her HP is high, directly enhancing her Combo Skill.
  • Ideal for new players who have limited gear options but still want to maximize her performance.
