Build Notes

Akekuri — endgame support

Best in Slot

Maximizes SP efficiency and follows up with party-wide ATK buffs after SP recovery via Thermal Cutter and Frontier set combination.

Thermite Cutter's Attack Boost and Flow Flow synergize with SP restoration for enhanced team output.

Frontiers set’s AOE DMG boost compensates for Akekuri’s low attack stat.

Frontiers set provides 16% DMG after SP restoration
Eternal Xiranite Gloves T1 charges Ultimate faster

Akekuri — early game support

Best in Slot

Prioritizes survival through Ultra Gain Efficiency and early SP availability with Catastrophe set, while Thermite Cutter provides baseline damage.

Catastrophe set’s startup SP reserves enable immediate Ultimate access.

Thermite Cutter’s Attack Buff supports team survivability in early content.

Catastrophe set grants 20% Ultra Gain Efficiency and 50 SP at combat start.
Thermite Cutter provides early ATK stability.

Pogranichnik — endgame support

Rank #2

This endgame build turns Pogranichnik into a powerful SP battery and Physical DMG amplifier. With Never Rest and the Frontiers set, every SP recovery event grants a stacking Physical DMG buff to the whole team, while the Bonekrusha piece ensures quicker ultimate cycles. The result is a support that not only keeps the team’s skills flowing but also significantly raises their damage ceiling, especially in mono‑physical compositions.

Never Rest is chosen for its dual Physical DMG boost—stronger for the wielder and a party‑wide buff that stacks up to 5 times. It synergizes perfectly with Pogranichnik’s frequent SP recovery skills.

The Frontiers gear set is ideal because its 2‑piece bonus triggers a team‑wide DMG buff after any SP restoration, amplifying both Pogranichnik’s support and sub‑DPS contributions.

Using one Bonekrusha piece speeds up Ultimate generation, which translates to more Steel Oath triggers and additional SP for the team.

Thermite Cutter is the best alternative if Never Rest is unavailable, providing a team ATK buff on SP restore. Eminent Repute works when Vulnerability stacks are consumed rapidly but offers a weaker team buff.

Focuses on maximizing SP recovery and team Physical DMG.
Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill CD and grants a party DMG buff after SP is restored.
Bonekrusha off‑piece improves Ultimate uptime and boosts Will/Agility.

Pogranichnik — early game support

Best in Slot

This budget build focuses on easy access to SP recovery tools and a strong Will stat. Thermite Cutter gives a team ATK boost after every SP restore, while the Mordvolt Resistant set shores up survivability and main attribute scaling. It serves as a solid foundation before upgrading to the Frontiers endgame loadout.

Thermite Cutter is the best early weapon because its Flow essence grants a party‑wide ATK buff after SP recovery, mimicking the endgame weapon’s support pattern without needing heavy investment.

The Mordvolt Resistant set is chosen for its immediate Will stat increase, Pogranichnik’s main attribute, and the conditional healing effect can help in prolonged fights.

Sundering Steel is a fallback option that boosts personal damage when inflicting Physical Statuses, but it lacks team buffs and is less effective for a support role.

A beginner‑friendly setup that emphasizes Will and early SP regeneration.
Mordvolt Resistant set provides a flat Will boost and extra healing when below 50% HP.
Thermite Cutter is easily obtainable from the New Horizons banner and offers a straightforward team ATK buff.
