Team Guide

advanced mono-electric
Arclight excels in a pure Electric lineup where Perlica supplies the Infliction and Electrification required to activate Arclight's abilities. Zhuang Fangyi serves as the primary damage dealer, with Arclight focusing on SP generation and occasionally adding an extra Electric Infliction stack.

Explanation

Arclight functions as the team's SP battery and can apply an additional Electric Infliction when needed.
Perlica should be placed ahead of Zhuang Fangyi in the team order so her Combo Skill triggers first, laying down Electrification for Arclight to consume.
Zhuang Fangyi's rotation aims to stack Sunderblades to nine for maximum Battle Skill damage, aided by Perlica and Antal's Infliction applications.
advanced mono-electric
An alternative mono‑Electric setup swaps Zhuang Fangyi for Avywenna as the main DPS while keeping Arclight, Perlica, and Antal in the same support roles.

Explanation

Arclight still provides SP and can contribute an extra Electric Infliction stack.
Perlica must precede Avywenna to ensure Electrification is applied before Avywenna's damage.
The rotation centers on Avywenna's Thunderlance generation and Final Strikes, with Perlica and Antal handling Infliction application.
advanced electric-nature
In an Electric‑Nature hybrid, Ardelia replaces Antal to add debuffs while Avywenna remains the primary damage source and Arclight continues to generate SP.

Explanation

Ardelia’s debuffs are applied first in the rotation, setting up the field for Avywenna’s Electric damage.
Arclight’s role stays consistent: generate SP and optionally add an Electric Infliction stack.
Placing Perlica before Avywenna ensures Electrification is available for Arclight to consume, enabling the team’s damage loop.

Team Insights

Arclight functions best as a support SP generator in Electric‑focused teams, relying on a teammate who can apply Infliction/Electrification (Perlica) to fuel its own skill usage.
Synergy Patterns
  • Perlica is a near‑mandatory partner for Arclight due to her Infliction/Electrification provision.
  • Antal provides additional Infliction stacks in mono‑Electric builds, while Ardelia offers Nature debuffs in hybrid builds.
  • The main DPS can be either Zhuang Fangyi (Sunderblade stacking) or Avywenna (Thunderlance/Final Strike) depending on player preference and available characters.
Tips
  • Always position Perlica ahead of the chosen main DPS so her Combo Skill triggers first, laying the necessary Electrification for Arclight.
  • When using the mono‑Electric Zhuang Fangyi variant, aim to reach nine Sunderblade stacks for peak Battle Skill damage.
  • In the Electric‑Nature variant, prioritize Ardelia’s debuff application before availing Avywenna’s damage to maximize overall output.
