Arclight

endgame 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.

This build turns Arclight into a sub-DPS buffer who amplifies team damage while maintaining steady SP generation. Equipping Thermite Cutter and the Frontiers set allows her to apply continuous ATK and DMG buffs, reduce her Combo Skill cooldown, and support Electric-centric teams effectively.

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 provides a team-wide ATK buff whenever she recovers SP, which perfectly aligns with her SP generation role. It is easily obtainable from the weapon selector in the New Horizons banner.

Frontiers gear set further decreases her Combo Skill cooldown and gives another team DMG buff when she generates SP, doubling down on her support value.

Type 50 Yinglung Gloves are used as an off-piece to maximize Combo Skill damage and boost Agility/Intellect.

Alternatives like OBJ Edge of Lightness or Twelve Questions are viable if Thermite Cutter is unavailable, though they offer slightly lower team utility.

Notes

Focuses on increasing Arclight's personal damage while providing team-wide buffs through weapon and gear effects.
Prioritize Agility and Intellect to boost her scaling and the Wildland Trekker talent's Electric DMG buff.
The Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a team DMG buff upon SP recovery.
