sp_generatorsub_dpsbufferelectric
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.

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.

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.

Build Insights

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.
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.

Character Notes

Arclight is a 5-star Electric Vanguard who excels at generating SP for the team via her Combo Skill, while offering occasional Electric DMG buffs. She is best paired with allies who can inflict Electric to trigger her abilities. Her low cooldown Combo Skill allows frequent SP recovery, but her need for Electrification makes her reliant on team composition.
Playstyle
  • Always use Combo Skill before Battle Skill to trigger it twice in quick succession.
  • Save Ultimate to apply Electrification and immediately trigger another Combo Skill rotation.
  • Level Combo Skill first for SP recovery, then Battle Skill, and finally Ultimate.
  • Do not rely on her basic attacks; she is mainly an off-field SP generator.
Strengths
  • Consistent SP generation for the entire team with a short cooldown.
  • Can self-trigger her Combo Skill via Ultimate, enabling burst SP recovery.
  • Provides a team-wide Electric DMG buff (every third Battle Skill consumption).
  • Scales with Agility and Intellect, which also enhance her buff.
Weaknesses
  • Requires allies to apply Electric Infliction for her core mechanic to work.
  • Her Electric DMG buff comes at a net SP loss and only procs occasionally.
  • Limited personal damage outside of Combo Skill sequences.
  • Lack of multiple Electrification sources in her base kit.

Team Guide

elemental mono_electricelectric_teamsp_battery
Arclight serves as an SP battery in a Mono Electric lineup built around Zhuang Fangyi's high-damage Battle Skill. Perlica supplies consistent Electrification and Electric Infliction, while Antal adds Focus and extra Infliction stacks. The synergy allows Zhuang Fangyi to rapidly accumulate Sunderblade stacks, dramatically boosting her output. Arclight manages SP generation and can provide an extra Electric Infliction stack if needed, keeping the rotation smooth and enabling frequent combo skill usage.

Explanation

Arclight generates SP by consuming Electrification from Perlica's combo skill, fueling the team's abilities.
Zhuang Fangyi benefits from Electric Infliction stacks to power her Battle Skill, scaling up to maximum Sunderblade damage.
Antal provides Focus and applies multiple Electric Infliction stacks to sustain the team's synergy.
The rotation times Arclight's Combo Skill animation to avoid cooldown overlap, ensuring uninterrupted SP flow.

Strengths

  • Extremely high burst damage when Zhuang Fangyi reaches 9 Sunderblade stacks.
  • Consistent SP generation thanks to Arclight and Perlica's Electrification synergy.
  • Reliable Electric Infliction application from multiple sources.

Weaknesses

  • Rotation can be disrupted if Arclight's Combo Skill animation is interrupted, delaying SP generation.
  • Team performance hinges on precise timing of skill usage; player error can cause suboptimal stacks.

Rotation

  1. 1 Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus, then activate Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate.
  2. 2 Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to gain one stack of Electric Infliction and summon three Sunderblades.
  3. 3 Trigger Antal's Combo Skill to apply a second Electric Infliction stack.
  4. 4 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill. Do not trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill yet.
  5. 5 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Perlica's Electrification. Then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume the Infliction stacks and apply a level 2 Electrification.
  6. 6 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume the Electrification. This raises the Sunderblade count to six and reapplies one Infliction stack. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill once more.
  7. 7 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi. Cast Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to increase Electric Infliction stacks to two.
  8. 8 Trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume the Infliction stacks and apply level 2 Electrification. If Arclight's Ultimate was used, immediate use of Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill prevents Arclight from consuming the stacks first.
  9. 9 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill. Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to maximize Sunderblade stacks and deal heavy damage, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
  10. 10 Use Antal's Ultimate, followed by Perlica's Ultimate for the Electric Amp.
  11. 11 Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to trigger another Arclight Combo Skill.
  12. 12 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi to trigger Perlica's Combo Skill. Then use Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to trigger one more Arclight Combo Skill.
  13. 13 Use one more Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skill before her Ultimate duration ends.
The rotation builds Sunderblade stacks through controlled consumption of Electrification and Electric Infliction. Arclight's Combo Skill is timed between Zhuang Fangyi's actions to maximize SP and damage.
elemental mono_electricelectric_teamsp_battery
Arclight continues as the SP battery in a Mono Electric team featuring Avywenna as the main DPS. Perlica and Antal provide Electric Infliction and Focus, while Avywenna deploys Thunderlances for area pressure. The rotation emphasizes stacking Electrification to amplify Avywenna's Final Strike and Combo Skill damage. Arclight consumes excess Electrification to keep SP flowing, ensuring the team can chain skills without downtime.

Explanation

Arclight's Battle Skill consumes Electrification to generate SP, which is crucial for sustaining Avywenna's high-cost abilities.
Perlica applies Electrification before Avywenna's damage windows, ensuring maximum Final Strike and Combo Skill output.
Antal's Battle Skill provides Focus to boost team damage, and his Combo Skill adds additional Electric Infliction.
Avywenna's Thunderlances are positioned to hit multiple enemies, and her Battle Skill retrieves all lances for burst damage.

Strengths

  • Strong sustained area damage from Avywenna's Thunderlances.
  • Fluid rotation with consistent SP generation from Arclight.
  • Multiple Electric Infliction sources ensure reliable debuff uptime.

Weaknesses

  • Avywenna's damage relies on her being vulnerable while riding Thunderlances, which can be risky.
  • If Arclight's SP generation is mismanaged, the rotation can stall.

Rotation

  1. 1 Cast Antal's Battle Skill for Focus, then Perlica's Battle Skill for Electric Infliction. Trigger Antal's Combo Skill.
  2. 2 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna. Trigger Perlica's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills in sequence.
  3. 3 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
  4. 4 Cast Perlica's Battle Skill, then perform a Final Strike with Avywenna.
  5. 5 Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill again. By this point, six Thunderlances should be deployed.
  6. 6 Use Avywenna's Ultimate when available. Cast Avywenna's Battle Skill to recall all Thunderlances, ensuring they pass through enemies for maximum damage.
The rotation builds up Avywenna's Thunderlances while applying Electrification for boosted damage. Arclight manages SP by consuming Electrification at key moments.
alternative electric_naturehybridsp_battery
This hybrid team replaces Antal with Ardelia to introduce Nature debuffs, boosting overall damage. Arclight remains the SP battery, with Perlica offering Electric support. Avywenna serves as the primary DPS, while Ardelia applies her debuffs to amplify incoming damage. The rotation integrates Ardelia's skills before unleashing Electric combos and final strikes, creating higher damage ceilings than a pure Mono Electric setup.

Explanation

Ardelia's Combo Skill and Battle Skill apply Nature debuffs that increase damage taken by enemies.
Arclight still consumes Electrification from Perlica to fuel SP, but the rotation now includes Ardelia's skills early.
Avywenna's Final Strike and Thunderlances benefit from both Electrification and Nature debuffs.
The hybrid element composition provides versatility against enemies with varying resistances.

Strengths

  • Higher damage potential due to stacking Nature debuffs with Electric buffs.
  • More flexible team composition, less reliant on a single element.
  • Ardelia's debuffs can increase the whole team's damage, not just Electric.

Weaknesses

  • Rotation requires careful timing to apply buffs before damage windows.
  • Loses the consistency and ease of a pure Mono Electric setup; requires more player attention.

Rotation

  1. 1 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna, then trigger Ardelia's Combo Skill.
  2. 2 Use Perlica's Battle Skill; when Ardelia's skill shines, cast her Battle Skill.
  3. 3 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna. Trigger Perlica's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills.
  4. 4 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill.
  5. 5 Cast Perlica's Battle Skill, then perform a Final Strike with Avywenna. Trigger Perlica's Combo Skill when available.
  6. 6 Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill again; six Thunderlances should be active.
  7. 7 Use Avywenna's Ultimate when ready, then cast her Battle Skill to retrieve all Thunderlances. Ensure the lances hit enemies on return.
This rotation prioritizes Ardelia's debuffs early, then follows a similar Electric core rotation. Arclight's SP generation is still central, but Ardelia's Nature skills are woven in to amplify damage.

Team Insights

Arclight's primary role is an SP battery in Electric-themed teams, where she can efficiently generate energy by consuming Electrification. She fits best alongside Perlica, who reliably applies Electrification and Electric Infliction, and a main DPS that benefits from Electric reactions. Arclight's own damage is negligible; her value comes from enabling frequent Combo Skill usage for her teammates. Team placement matters: Perlica should be positioned before the main DPS to ensure Electrification is applied before the DPS acts. Additionally, players should allow Arclight's Combo Skill animation to fully complete to avoid cooldown issues.
Synergy Patterns
  • Arclight's Battle Skill consumes Electrification from Perlica's Combo Skill, generating SP and enabling longer chains of abilities.
  • With Antal, Arclight can sometimes provide an extra Electric Infliction stack when the team needs one more for a consumption.
  • Ardelia replaces Antal in hybrid teams, applying Nature debuffs that amplify all damage, including the Electric core's output.
Tips
  • Place Perlica before the main DPS in the team menu so her Combo Skill applies Electrification before the DPS attacks.
  • Always wait for Arclight's Combo Skill animation to fully finish to ensure the cooldown starts properly; interrupting it can stall SP generation.
  • In the Zhuang Fangyi team, avoid triggering Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill immediately after a Final Strike; instead, let Perlica's Combo Skill apply Electrification first.
  • When using Arclight's Ultimate for Infliction, immediately follow with the DPS's Combo Skill to consume the stacks before Arclight does.
