Antal
Aendgame support
supportbufferdebufferhealer
Antal is an A-tier Electric Supporter whose main value is amplifying Heat and Electric damage for allies while marking a single enemy with Susceptibility to both elements. His utility is narrow and team-dependent, but inside those compositions his Combo Skill adds extra Infliction stacks and his Talent provides light healing to buffed teammates.
This is the standard endgame shell for an Electric squad. Antal is not there to deal damage, he is there to make everyone else hit harder: Detonation Unit tags the target with bonus Arts damage taken, Eternal Xiranite converts his regular debuff and buff applications into a team-wide damage boost, and every slot is angled toward Ultimate Gain Efficiency so his Amp window comes back quickly. Because the whole package revolves around reapplying Focus and cycling the Ultimate, the build depends on the weapon and the set covering each other's downtime. Use it whenever the team's damage is predominantly Electric and no one else is already carrying Eternal Xiranite.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Focus from Specified Research Subject marks one enemy and applies Electric and Heat Susceptibility while it stays active.
- Overclocked Moment gives the whole squad temporary Electric Amp and Heat Amp, which is the core of his buffing.
- EMP Test Site fires when a Focused enemy receives a Physical Status or Arts Infliction, copying that same stack.
- The Improviser talent restores HP to allies after they use skills while buffed, adding a small sustain layer.
Scaling
- His team contribution scales with skill levels rather than his own damage, so upgrading the Ultimate and Battle Skill pays off more than farming offensive stats.
- He leans heavily on allies actually dealing Heat or Electric damage, so his value rises and falls with the team around him.
- Potentials matter for support output: later copies strengthen the Focus debuff and, at the second copy, reduce Ultimate energy cost.
Team Role
Antal is a pure enabler who slots into Heat or Electric lineups as the utility slot rather than a damage source. In practice you place him wherever he can safely mark the priority target with Focus, since the Focus debuff is single-target and long lasting, then time his Ultimate so its Electric and Heat Amp window covers the moment your main carry unloads damage. His Combo Skill extends whatever Physical Status or Arts Infliction the team is already stacking, which helps teammates hit status breakpoints faster, and his Talent quietly tops up the HP of Amped allies. Because essentially all of his value is tied to two elements, he is a poor fit for Physical, Cryo or Nature teams, and he contributes little on his own aside from the debuff.

Explanation
Detonation Unit is picked because it puts an Arts DMG Taken effect on the enemy, effectively multiplying the damage of everything the team lands afterwards.
Eternal Xiranite hands a DMG Dealt boost to the rest of the squad whenever Antal applies Amp, Protected, Susceptibility or Weakened, which his Battle Skill and Ultimate do regularly.
The gear choice also pushes Ultimate Gain Efficiency, so his Amp windows reopen sooner and the set effect stays active more consistently.
If Detonation Unit is unavailable, OBJ Arts Identifier is the practical replacement; Monaihe is only a stat stick for Ultimate Gain Boost and gives the team nothing, while Hypernova Auto is a modest fallback for extra Attack and Intellect.
Notes
- Stacking Ultimate Gain Efficiency keeps Overclocked Moment available more often, which in turn keeps the Eternal Xiranite trigger live.
- Essence order on the weapon is Detonate first, then Main Attribute Boost, then Arts Intensity Boost.
- Redeemer Armor fills the remaining armor slot as an off-piece while the rest of the set comes from Eternal Xiranite.
