Last Rite

early game dps

dps sub_dps cryo

Last Rite is a strong Cryo DPS who can function as a hypercarry or sub-DPS. However, her reliance on Cryo Infliction stacks makes her team-restrictive and vulnerable to stage mechanics that interfere with infliction application, slightly lowering her overall rating compared to more flexible DPS characters.

This early game build uses the Seeker of Dark Lung weapon for Strength and Ultimate Gain, paired with the Armored MSGR set for raw stat bonuses. Mordvolt Insulation Gloves serve as an off-piece to add Arts DMG. This setup provides a solid foundation for Last Rite's damage while her rotation requirements are less punishing.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Applies Cryo Infliction via Battle Skill after Final Strike.
Consumes Cryo Infliction stacks with Winter's Devourer to deal damage and gain Ultimate Energy.
Ultimate Vigil Services deals massive Cryo DMG and benefits from Cryo Susceptibility debuff.
Cryo Susceptibility from Hypothermia talent increases Cryo DMG taken by enemies.
Cryogenic Embrittlement talent enhances Cryo Susceptibility during Ultimate.

Scaling

Scales well with Strength and Attack stats.
Damage heavily depends on stacking Cryo Infliction before using Combo Skill.
Ultimate gain is limited to her own skills, so Ultimate Energy substats are valuable.
Potential 4 reduces Ultimate cost, allowing more flexible rotations.

Team Role

Last Rite can be played as a main DPS or sub-DPS in Cryo-focused teams. As a hypercarry, she builds Cryo stacks with her Battle Skill and consumes them with her Combo Skill to apply Cryo Susceptibility, then unleashes her Ultimate. As a sub-DPS, she provides cheap Cryo application and stack consumption for other Cryo carries like Yvonne. Her rotations are strict and require careful management of Cryo Infliction stacks, making her less flexible in teams without consistent Cryo support.

Explanation

Seeker of Dark Lung is a lower-rarity weapon that still boosts Strength and provides Ultimate Gain, helping Last Rite with rotations.

Armored MSGR set increases Strength and Attack, which are her primary damage stats, even though its set effect doesn't directly boost damage.

Mordvolt Insulation Gloves replace the Armored MSGR gloves because they provide Arts DMG Bonus and Will, improving overall damage output.

Notes

Seeker of Dark Lung provides Strength and Ultimate Gain for early game.
Armored MSGR set gives Strength and Attack bonuses.
Mordvolt Insulation Gloves offer Arts DMG and Will, slightly better than Armored MSGR gloves.
