Camille

Camille earns an SS rating by compressing several team-wide amplifiers into one slot: Heat Susceptibility and Weakness from his Battle Skill, a stacking Heat DMG buff from Bloodfount Revival, and rare Link buffs from his Combo Skill and Hunter Pursuit. He also hands SP back to the team. His Combo Skill only needs any Heat Infliction to be consumed or absorbed, so he can flex into non-Heat arts lineups as long as the rotation still allows the trigger.
This endgame configuration turns Camille into a pure enabler for a Heat-leaning squad. Blessing of Lustrous Carmine supplies simultaneous ATK and Heat DMG buffs to everyone while speeding up his own Ultimate cycle, and the Frontiers set converts his frequent SP recovery into an extra team-wide damage bonus. Redeemer Seal fills the off-slot with Intellect and Ultimate Gain, feeding the healing portion of his Talent chain so Bloodfount Revival keeps stacking while Link buffs and Heat Infliction stay available. Since his personal multipliers stay low, every choice is pointed at amplifying allies instead of chasing his own damage.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Blazing Exorcism summons Firefang Vesperwings that deal Heat DMG, apply Heat Infliction, then hover on the target to inflict Weakness and Heat Susceptibility. If the marked enemy dies, the effect jumps to a nearby enemy. Only one instance can exist at a time.
- Camille's Combo Skill Heartstake Thorn fires whenever an enemy's Heat Infliction is consumed or absorbed, dealing damage and refunding SP.
- Hitting an enemy still marked by the hovering Firefang Vesperwings with Heartstake Thorn adds a delayed explosion and grants the party a Link buff.
- Sanguine Downpour rains Heat DMG over a large area, applies Heat Infliction, returns SP on hit, and converts the next Battle Skill into Hunter Pursuit — a free Combo Skill that always grants Link regardless of Firefang Vesperwings.
- Bloodfount Revival stacks Heat DMG Dealt on Camille each time a skill heals him and shares a quarter of that bonus with the rest of the team; being at full HP grants two stacks at once.
Scaling
- His personal multipliers are low, so scaling comes from buffing and enabling allies rather than from his own damage output.
- Much of his kit depends on Intellect for the healing half of his Talent chain and on Ultimate Gain Efficiency for Link and Heat Infliction uptime, and both stats are largely locked behind higher-rarity gear.
- Battle Skill levels raise the Heat Susceptibility debuff, while Combo Skill and Ultimate levels improve SP recovery and Hunter Pursuit damage, making ability investment meaningful even on a support build.
- He is team-dependent by design: without a partner that consumes or absorbs Heat Infliction, his Combo Skill never triggers and a large part of his value disappears.
Team Role
Camille sits in a Vanguard slot but functions as a support and enabler. His job is to mark a priority target with Firefang Vesperwings so the enemy takes more Heat damage, then ride his teammates' Heat Infliction consumption to fire Heartstake Thorn and hand out Link buffs. His Ultimate both refills SP and upgrades his next Battle Skill into Hunter Pursuit, which lets him keep Link uptime going even when no mark is present. In Heat compositions he is the glue that connects Heat appliers with burst windows; he wants to be paired with a main Heat DPS such as Laevatain so that Scorching Heart and similar effects repeatedly trigger his Combo Skill. Outside Heat teams he can still be slotted into arts squads provided someone else generates non-Heat or Heat Infliction that gets consumed, because his Link buffs are element-agnostic. Position him as the debuff anchor rather than the damage dealer, and sequence Battle Skill first, Combo Skill second, Ultimate whenever it is ready.

Explanation
Blessing of Lustrous Carmine is the first choice because it grants the whole party ATK and Heat DMG buffs while also improving Camille's own Ultimate recharge, which is exactly what his kit feeds on.
Beacon of Duty is the strongest substitute when the team wants its Physical and Heat DMG buffs from the Efficacy: Fuel for the Torch skill, and it also carries Ultimate Gain stats.
JET and Pathfinder's Beacon are only personal stat sticks; they raise his damage but drop the team-wide support that makes him worth the slot, so treat them as fallbacks.
Frontiers covers armor, gloves, and the first kit slot, and its SP-triggered team DMG buff lines up with the SP Camille constantly regains from his Combo Skill and Ultimate.
Redeemer Seal fills the remaining slot because its Intellect and Ultimate Gain both improve parts of his kit, giving stronger healing for his Talent and more frequent Ultimates.
Notes
- Ultimate Gain is the headline stat here: faster Ultimates mean more Heat Infliction applications and more Link buffs for the squad.
- Intellect is not a damage stat on this build; it feeds the healing half of Hunter of Transgression that keeps Bloodfount Revival stacking.
- The Frontiers set effect is easy to keep up because Combo Skill, Ultimate, and Hunter Pursuit all return SP to Camille.
