Build Notes

Alesh — endgame support

Rank #2

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Alesh's SP generation and team support capabilities. Finchaser 3.0 enhances his Cryo utility, while the Frontiers gear set amplifies his SP recovery and team damage. The Eternal Xiranite gloves further improve his Ultimate uptime, making him a consistent battery for the squad.

Finchaser 3.0 is the top choice because its Suppression essence increases Cryo DMG taken by enemies after Alesh applies Solidification, which he does frequently with his Battle Skill.

The Frontiers set provides a 15% Combo Skill cooldown reduction and a team-wide DMG buff after SP recovery, both of which are triggered often in Alesh's rotation.

The gloves are swapped to Eternal Xiranite for the Ultimate Gain Efficiency bonus, allowing Alesh to cycle his Ultimate faster for more SP generation.

Finchaser 3.0 is his signature weapon, boosting Cryo DMG and providing a debuff that increases Cryo DMG taken by enemies when Alesh applies Solidification.
The Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and grants a team-wide DMG buff when Alesh recovers SP, synergizing with his SP-focused kit.
Eternal Xiranite Gloves as an off-piece significantly improve Ultimate gain efficiency, letting him use his Ultimate more often.

Pogranichnik — endgame support

Best in Slot

This endgame build maximizes Pogranichnik's SP recovery and team buffing capabilities. Thermite Cutter provides ATK buffs to the party, while Frontiers gear offers cooldown reduction and a damage boost after SP restoration. The off-piece armor further increases Ultimate frequency, making Pogranichnik a potent support for physical teams.

Thermite Cutter is chosen for its teamwide ATK increase and Will boost, enhancing both personal damage and support.

Frontiers set synergizes with Pogranichnik's SP restoration, providing consistent team damage buffs.

Off-piece Bonekrusha accelerates Ultimate uptime, enabling more frequent SP generation.

Frontiers set reduces combo skill cooldown and grants team DMG buff after SP recovery.
Bonekrusha Poncho T1 is an off-piece that boosts Ultimate charge rate and attributes.

Pogranichnik — early game support

Best in Slot

This early game build leverages accessible gear to support Pogranichnik's role as an SP battery. The Mordvolt Resistant set increases his Will stat, enhancing skill effectiveness, while Thermite Cutter provides a team ATK boost. Suitable for players progressing through the early stages without high-end gear.

Thermite Cutter is prioritized for its Will increase and team ATK buff, even at early game.

Mordvolt Resistant set improves Pogranichnik's primary attribute and offers survival utility.

Sundering Steel is an alternative if Thermite Cutter is unavailable, focusing on personal damage.

Mordvolt Resistant set boosts Will and provides healing bonus when HP is low.
Thermite Cutter is obtainable from the New Horizons banner, making it a strong F2P option.

Arclight — endgame sub dps

Best in Slot

This build transforms Arclight into a team-oriented sub-DPS. The Frontiers set and Thermite Cutter work together to grant consistent damage buffs to the whole party whenever she uses her Combo Skill. The off-piece gloves further boost her personal Combo Skill output, making her a valuable hybrid support that also contributes meaningful damage.

Thermite Cutter is chosen because its Flow essence gives a teamwide ATK buff that stacks twice, perfect for her SP-recovery playstyle.

Frontiers set amplifies her SP generation with cooldown reduction and turns every SP recovery into a team damage buff.

The off-piece gloves maximize her Combo Skill damage, which is her main source of SP and damage.

Alternative weapons like OBJ Edge of Lightness offer similar team buffs but are more restrictive (only Heat/Electric) and less accessible.

Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill cooldown by 15% and grants the team +16% damage for 15s whenever Arclight recovers SP.
Type 50 Yinglung Gloves are an off-piece that boost Combo Skill damage and provide Agility/Intellect, enhancing both her damage and buff scaling.

Arclight — early game sub dps

Best in Slot

This beginner-friendly build uses easy-to-obtain gear to boost Arclight's physical and Combo Skill damage. The Roving MSGR set provides Agility and conditional Physical DMG, while the Thermite Cutter (free from the New Horizons banner) adds a teamwide ATK buff. It's a solid foundation that transitions smoothly into the endgame sub-DPS build.

The Roving MSGR set is easy to farm and provides a straightforward damage boost that Arclight can use from the start.

Thermite Cutter remains her best early weapon because the team ATK buff is valuable even at low investment.

No alternative weapons are listed for early game, as the free selector covers her needs until late-game upgrades.

Roving MSGR gives +50 Agility and +20% Physical DMG when HP is above 80%, boosting both her normal attacks and Combo Skill.
Thermite Cutter can be obtained for free from the weapon selector in the New Horizons banner, making it very accessible early.

Akekuri — endgame support

Best in Slot

This endgame build transforms Akekuri into a potent team buffer. By stacking SP recovery triggers, she consistently activates the Thermite Cutter's Flow buff and the Frontiers set's damage bonus. The build prioritizes Ultimate Gain Efficiency to keep her Ultimate ready, which in turn provides Link and more SP. The result is a significant boost to the entire team's offensive output without requiring Akekuri to deal damage herself.

Thermite Cutter is chosen because its Flow essence procs on any SP recovery, which Akekuri does constantly with her Combo Skill and Ultimate.

Frontiers set further amplifies her supportive role by reducing cooldown on her main SP-generation skill and providing a damage boost to the whole team.

OBJ Edge of Lightness is a good alternative if the team is focused on Heat or Electric damage, as it boosts those elements.

Fortmaker can be used if more personal Ultimate gain is needed, but its buffs are less impactful than the team-wide effects of other options.

Thermite Cutter's Flow essence increases team ATK by 14% for 20s after Akekuri recovers SP, stacking up to 2 times.
The Frontiers 4-set bonus reduces Combo Skill cooldown by 15% and grants party DMG +16% after SP recovery.
Redeemer Seal off-piece maximizes Ultimate charge rate for more frequent team buffs.

Akekuri — early game support

Best in Slot

This early game build is designed to maximize Akekuri's SP generation from the start. The Catastrophe set gives her a head start with bonus SP and faster Ultimate charging, while Thermite Cutter provides a team ATK buff whenever she recovers SP. It is a cheap and effective setup for any team that needs energy support.

In early game, Akekuri's main contribution is SP generation; the Catastrophe set accelerates this by providing immediate SP and higher charge rate.

Thermite Cutter is chosen because it is a strong general-purpose weapon that rewards SP recovery with team ATK buff.

Alternative weapons are not recommended early on, as the weapon's essence effects may not be fully utilized.

Catastrophe set gives +20% Ultimate Gain Efficiency and 50 SP at battle start, allowing faster Ultimate access.
Thermite Cutter remains the best weapon even in early game due to its team ATK buff.
This build focuses on quick SP generation to help the team cycle skills.
