Arclight is a strong SP generator for the team thanks to her low-cooldown Combo Skill, but she relies on Electrification to trigger it. This limits her to teams with other Electric sources, as her Ultimate is her only self-applied Electrification. Her Electric DMG buff from Wildland Trekker is powerful but requires three triggers of her Battle Skill's additional effect, consuming 210 SP, which conflicts with her SP generation role. Best treated as a bonus rather than primary utility.
endgame support endgamesupportteam_buff
This support build maximizes Arclight's SP generation and team buffing capabilities. The Frontiers set shortens her Combo Skill cooldown and grants a damage boost after SP recovery, while Thermite Cutter adds an Attack buff. The Redeemer Seal off-piece boosts Intellect for stronger Wildland Trekker buffs and Ultimate gain for more frequent Electrification. This setup ensures consistent team support and effective rotation.

Build Insights
Arclight fills a support role as an SP generator and team buffer. She works best with Electric allies who can apply Electrification, such as Zhuang Fangyi or other Electric units. Her low-cooldown Combo Skill provides steady SP, while her Ultimate can set up Electrification for both herself and teammates. The Wildland Trekker buff enhances Electric damage dealers. She should be positioned to trigger her Combo Skill frequently, prioritizing using Combo Skill before Battle Skill to maximize SP recovery.
Core Mechanics
- Arclight's Combo Skill triggers on Electrification or consumption of Electrification, recovering SP and dealing damage with a 3-second cooldown.
- Her Battle Skill consumes Electrification to deal extra Electric DMG and recover 30 SP.
- Her Ultimate applies Electric Infliction then converts it to Electrification, allowing her to self-trigger Combo Skill.
- The Wildland Trekker talent grants a teamwide Electric DMG buff (scales with Intellect) after using Battle Skill's additional effect 3 times.
Scaling
- Arclight scales well with Intellect to boost her Wildland Trekker buff, and Ultimate Gain to use her Ultimate more often for self-Electrification.
- She performs best in teams with another Electric character to provide consistent Electrification, reducing her reliance on her own Ultimate.
Character Notes
Arclight is a 5-star Electric Vanguard who excels at generating SP for her team through her Combo Skill, which triggers on Electrification. She provides a teamwide Electric DMG buff via her talent, scaling with Intellect. Her gameplay revolves around applying Electrification with her Ultimate and using her low-cooldown skills to recover SP and deal damage. She is best used in teams with other Electric units to maximize her potential, and her role is primarily supportive.
Playstyle
- Use Combo Skill (Peal of Thunder) before Battle Skill to trigger it twice in quick succession, maximizing SP recovery.
- Use Ultimate (Exploding Blitz) to apply Electric Infliction and then Electrification, which triggers Combo Skill. Time it so that Combo Skill is ready or on cooldown.
- Prioritize Combo Skill leveling for SP recovery, then Battle Skill, then Ultimate. Basic Attack can be left unleveled.
Strengths
- Exceptional SP generation for the team with a low-cooldown Combo Skill.
- Provides a scaling teamwide Electric DMG buff via Wildland Trekker.
- Can self-trigger her Combo Skill using her Ultimate, enabling burst rotations.
Weaknesses
- Requires Electrification to trigger Combo Skill; limited self-application outside Ultimate.
- The talent's Electric DMG buff requires 3 Battle Skill triggers (210 SP) to activate, conflicting with her SP generation role.
- Hannabit Wisdom talent is extremely situational and often negligible.
Team Guide
best electric_team
This Mono Electric team revolves around Zhuang Fangyi as the main damage dealer, with Arclight providing SP generation and additional Electric Infliction. Perlica applies Electrification, which Arclight consumes to boost her SP generation, while Antal applies Focus and extra Electric stacks. The goal is to quickly reach 9 Sunderblade stacks for Zhuang Fangyi's powerful Battle Skill. Proper rotation order is crucial: Perlica should be placed before Zhuang Fangyi to trigger her Combo Skill first, ensuring Electrification is applied before Arclight consumes it.
Explanation
Arclight's role is to generate SP for the team and supply extra Electric Infliction when needed. Delaying her Combo Skill animation ensures maximum SP generation.
Perlica applies Electrification, which Arclight consumes to refund her Combo Skill cooldown. Zhuang Fangyi benefits from Sunderblade stacks built through infliction consumption.
Antal provides Focus and additional Electric stacks, enabling the team to reach two stacks of Infliction for Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill.
Strengths
- High single-target damage output with Zhuang Fangyi's Sunderblade mechanic.
- Consistent SP generation from Arclight ensures skills are available frequently.
- Strong against enemies weak to Electric damage.
Weaknesses
- Requires precise rotation and positioning to maximize Sunderblade stacks.
- Relies heavily on Electrification application; if Perlica is disabled, the rotation suffers.
- Struggles against enemies with high Electric resistance.
Rotation
- 1 Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus, then activate Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate.
- 2 Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to apply one stack of Electric Infliction and summon 3 Sunderblades.
- 3 Trigger Antal's Combo Skill to apply the second stack of Electric Infliction.
- 4 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill (do not use Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill yet).
- 5 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Perlica's Electrification, then trigger Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume inflictions and apply level 2 Electrification.
- 6 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to raise Sunderblades to 6 and reapply one infliction. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 7 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi. Cast Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to reach 2 Infliction stacks.
- 8 Use Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to consume inflictions and apply level 2 Electrification. If Arclight's Ultimate was used, use Combo Skill immediately to prevent Arclight from consuming stacks.
- 9 Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, then cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to max Sunderblades and deal damage. Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 10 Cast Antal's Ultimate, then Perlica's Ultimate for Electric Amp.
- 11 Use Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to trigger another Arclight Combo Skill.
- 12 Perform a Final Strike with Zhuang Fangyi to trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, then Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skill to trigger one more Arclight Combo Skill.
- 13 Use one more Zhuang Fangyi Battle Skill before her Ultimate ends.
The rotation focuses on building Sunderblade stacks through infliction consumption, with Arclight generating SP between actions. Proper timing of Combo Skills and Electrification is essential.
alternative electric_team
This variant uses Avywenna as the main DPS instead of Zhuang Fangyi. The team still relies on Arclight for SP and Perlica for Electrification, with Antal providing Focus and extra Electric stacks. Avywenna's thunderlances deal massive damage when retrieved. Place Perlica before Avywenna in the team order to ensure Electrification is applied before Avywenna's attacks.
Explanation
Avywenna benefits from Electrification to enhance her thunderlance damage. Arclight's SP generation supports frequent skill usage.
Antal's Focus and additional Electric stacks allow for consistent Electrification application.
Perlica's Combo Skill applies Electrification, which Arclight consumes to refund cooldowns and maintain SP flow.
Strengths
- Avywenna's thunderlance retrieval deals high burst damage.
- Arclight's SP generation enables rapid skill cycling.
- Effective against groups due to Avywenna's area damage.
Weaknesses
- Avywenna's damage depends on positioning to retrieve thunderlances.
- If Electrification is not applied properly, damage output decreases.
- Requires careful timing of Combo Skills.
Rotation
- 1 Cast Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus.
- 2 Use Perlica's Battle Skill to apply Electric Infliction, then trigger Antal's Combo Skill.
- 3 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna, then trigger Perlica's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills in order.
- 4 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 5 Use Perlica's Battle Skill, then perform Final Strikes with Avywenna.
- 6 Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill to deploy six thunderlances.
- 7 Use Avywenna's Ultimate when available, then cast her Battle Skill to retrieve all thunderlances, ensuring they hit enemies.
Rotate between Perlica and Antal to maintain Electric stacks, then use Avywenna's thunderlance deployment and retrieval for burst damage.
elemental electric_teamnature_team
This Electric-Nature hybrid team replaces Antal with Ardelia to incorporate Nature debuffs. Arclight still serves as SP generator, Avywenna as main DPS, and Perlica for Electrification. Ardelia applies her debuffs first before the Electric units use their Combo and Battle Skills, adding an extra layer of damage amplification. The rotation is slightly adjusted to account for Ardelia's debuff timing.
Explanation
Ardelia's debuffs increase damage taken by enemies, boosting Avywenna's thunderlance damage.
Arclight's SP generation remains crucial for frequent ability use by the team.
Perlica ensures Electrification is active for Arclight to consume and for Avywenna's enhanced attacks.
Strengths
- Combined Electric and Nature damage covers more enemy resistances.
- Ardelia's debuffs amplify overall team damage.
- Avywenna's burst remains strong with debuffs applied.
Weaknesses
- More complex rotation due to Ardelia's debuff management.
- Loses Antal's Focus and extra Electric stacks, potentially reducing Electrification uptime.
- Requires careful positioning for Ardelia's debuffs to hit.
Rotation
- 1 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna, then trigger Ardelia's Combo Skill.
- 2 Use Perlica's Battle Skill, then cast Ardelia's Battle Skill when it shines.
- 3 Perform a Final Strike with Avywenna, then trigger Perlica's, Avywenna's, and Arclight's Combo Skills.
- 4 Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 5 Use Perlica's Battle Skill, then perform Final Strikes with Avywenna. Trigger Perlica's Combo Skill when it appears.
- 6 Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill to deploy six thunderlances.
- 7 Use Avywenna's Ultimate when ready, then cast her Battle Skill to retrieve thunderlances, ensuring they hit enemies.
Apply Ardelia's debuffs early, then follow the standard Avywenna rotation while maintaining Electrification.
Team Insights
Arclight is primarily a battery unit that generates SP for Electric teams. Her kit relies on consuming Electrification to refund her Combo Skill cooldown, making Perlica an essential partner. She enables consistent skill usage for main DPS characters like Zhuang Fangyi and Avywenna. Teams are built around synergizing with Electric Infliction and Electrification mechanics. Rotation order is critical: placing Perlica before the main DPS in the team menu ensures Electrification is applied before Arclight consumes it. Arclight can also fit into hybrid teams like Electric-Nature with Ardelia, though the rotation becomes more complex.
Synergy Patterns
- Arclight and Perlica: Perlica applies Electrification, which Arclight consumes to refund her Combo Skill and generate SP.
- Arclight and Zhuang Fangyi: Arclight's SP generation helps Zhuang Fangyi reach 9 Sunderblade stacks faster.
- Arclight and Avywenna: Arclight enables Avywenna to deploy thunderlances more frequently for burst damage.
- Electric teams generally rely on stacking Electric Infliction and Electrification to maximize damage.
Tips
- Place Perlica before the main DPS in the team order so her Combo Skill triggers first, applying Electrification before Arclight acts.
- Wait for Arclight's Combo Skill animation to finish before consuming Electrification to ensure maximum SP generation.
- In Zhuang Fangyi teams, aim to build 9 Sunderblade stacks before using her Battle Skill for maximum damage.
- For Avywenna, position her so thunderlances travel through enemies when retrieved with Battle Skill.
