Team Guide

elemental electric_team
This Electric team is built around Antal boosting the team's Electric damage with his Focus and Electric Amp debuffs. Arclight generates SP and supplies extra Electric Infliction, while Perlica applies Electrification to enable combo chains. The rotation focuses on stacking 9 Sunderblades for Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to deal massive burst damage. This composition is ideal for single-target and boss fights where sustained Electric damage is key.

Explanation

Antal applies Focus and Electric Amp to increase the entire team's Electric damage output against enemies.
Arclight acts as a battery, generating SP for the team and providing extra Electric Infliction stacks when needed.
Perlica applies Electrification with her Combo Skill, which Arclight consumes to trigger additional effects, helping maintain high Infliction stacks.
Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill scales with Sunderblade stacks; with support from Antal and Perlica, she can reach 9 stacks for maximum damage.

Strengths

  • High burst damage potential when Sunderblade stacking is optimized
  • Strong synergy between Antal, Perlica, and Arclight for consistent Electric Infliction

Weaknesses

  • Requires specific order and timing to maximize stacks, making it less flexible in chaotic fights
  • Relies on Perlica and Arclight having their skills available; downtime can reduce effectiveness

  2. 2 Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to apply one stack of Electric Infliction and summon 3 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 use Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill here.
  5. 5 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Perlica's Electrification, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume Infliction stacks and apply level 2 Electrification.
  6. 6 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to consume Electrification (Sunderblades now 6), reapplying 1 Infliction. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
  7. 7 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then cast either Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to raise Infliction stacks to 2.

  9. 9 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to reach maximum Sunderblade stacks (9) and deal damage, followed by another Arclight Combo Skill.
  10. 10 Use Antal's Ultimate and then Perlica's Ultimate to boost Electric damage further.
  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.

elemental electric_team
This Electric variant uses Avywenna as the main damage dealer, with Antal providing Electric Amp and Perlica applying Electrification. Arclight generates SP and helps manage Infliction stacks. The rotation is more straightforward than the Zhuang Fangyi variant, focusing on summoning and retrieving Thunderlances with Avywenna's skills for sustained Electric damage.

Explanation

Antal applies Focus and boosts Electric damage, benefiting Avywenna's Thunderlance skills.
Avywenna's Combo Skill summons Thunderlances that deal damage when retrieved with her Battle Skill.
Arclight provides SP and consumes Electrification to maintain energy flow.
Perlica's Electrification sets up combos for Avywenna and Arclight.

Strengths

  • Easier rotation than the Zhuang Fangyi variant
  • Consistent Electric damage from Thunderlances

Weaknesses

  • Lower burst potential compared to Zhuang Fangyi
  • Dependent on Avywenna's positioning to retrieve Thunderlances effectively

Rotation

  2. 2 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna, then trigger Perlica's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills in order.
  3. 3 Use Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
  4. 4 Cast Perlica's Battle Skill, then do Final Strikes with Avywenna. When Avywenna's Combo Skill is ready, use Antal's Ultimate if available.
  5. 5 Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill to summon more Thunderlances (aim for 6 total).
  6. 6 Use Avywenna's Ultimate when ready, then cast her Battle Skill to retrieve all Thunderlances, ensuring they hit enemies on return.
Apply debuffs, summon Thunderlances through combos, and retrieve them with Avywenna's Battle Skill for damage.
elemental heat_team
Antal fits well into Heat teams by increasing the potency of Heat against enemies. He can re-trigger Heat Infliction with his Combo Skill, helping Laevatain stack Melting Flame. Wulfgard contributes additional Heat damage and stacking, while Akekuri provides SP and extra Heat Infliction. This team excels at sustained damage and debuff stacking.

Explanation

Antal's skills boost Heat damage and allow him to re-apply Heat Infliction, aiding Laevatain's Melting Flame stacks.
Laevatain is the primary Heat damage dealer whose Melting Flame scales with Infliction stacks.
Wulfgard benefits from Antal's utility and helps build Melting Flame with his own Heat skills.
Akekuri generates SP and adds Heat Infliction stacks, accelerating Laevatain's setup.

Strengths

  • Strong synergy between Antal, Laevatain, and Wulfgard for stacking Heat Infliction
  • Sustained damage output with potential for high burst from Laevatain's Ultimate

Weaknesses

  • Requires careful management of Melting Flame stacks; mistakes can delay damage
  • Relies on Akekuri for SP; without her, rotations slow down

Rotation

  1. 1 Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus.
  2. 2 Use Wulfgard's Battle Skill to apply 1 stack of Heat Infliction.
  3. 3 Trigger Wulfgard's and Antal's Combo Skills to raise Heat Infliction to 3 stacks.
  4. 4 Perform a Final Strike with Laevatain to gain 3 Melting Flame stacks and restore SP. Cast Akekuri's Battle Skill for another Heat Infliction stack.
  5. 5 Do a second Final Strike with Laevatain to get the 4th Melting Flame stack.
  6. 6 When Antal's Ultimate is available, use it. Then wait for SP and cast Laevatain's enhanced Battle Skill followed by her Combo Skill.
  7. 7 Enter Laevatain's Ultimate when available for massive damage.
Build 4 Melting Flame stacks on Laevatain using Antal and Wulfgard's Combo Skills, then unleash her enhanced skills and Ultimate.

Team Insights

Antal is a versatile support who excels in both Electric and Heat team compositions. His kit revolves around applying Focus and increasing the damage of a specific element (Electric or Heat). In Electric teams, he works with Arclight and Perlica to maximize the main DPS's damage through Infliction stacking. In Heat teams, he synergizes with Wulfgard and Laevatain to stack Melting Flame. His Combo Skill is key for re-applying debuffs and maintaining stacks. Teams built around Antal typically prioritize elemental synergy and skill rotation over raw stats.
Synergy Patterns
  • Antal pairs well with characters that apply the same element's Infliction, such as Perlica (Electric) or Wulfgard (Heat).
  • His Focus debuff benefits any DPS that relies on elemental reactions or Infliction stacks.
  • Combining Antal with a battery like Arclight or Akekuri ensures skills are available for optimal rotations.
Tips
  • Place Perlica before Zhuang Fangyi in the team menu to ensure her Combo Skill triggers first, setting up Electrification for Arclight.
  • In Heat teams, prioritize reaching 4 Melting Flame stacks before using Laevatain's Ultimate to maximize damage.
  • Antal's Combo Skill can re-applicate Heat Infliction even if the target already has stacks, helping maintain high stack counts.
