Build Notes

Laevatain
Best in Slot
The endgame hypercarry setup pushes Laevatain's own damage as high as possible by stacking Intellect, Strength, Attack and DMG Bonus, with a modest amount of Ultimate Gain so Twilight is available more often. Forgeborn Scathe strengthens her Basic Attacks during the Ultimate window, while the four-piece Hot Work set converts the Combustion from her empowered Battle Skill into a strong Heat DMG bonus. A single Redeemer Armor piece replaces one set slot to add Ultimate Gain plus attributes, which matters because so much of her output is packed into her Ultimate. The result is a build where every part of her kit contributes damage instead of leaning on one skill to carry.
Forgeborn Scathe is the first choice because its Intellect and Attack stats pair with a skill that lifts Basic Attack damage during the Ultimate, which is where the bulk of her damage lives.
Hot Work is chosen because her enhanced Battle Skill reliably applies Combustion, so the set's Heat DMG bonus stays active and boosts every part of her damage rather than a single skill.
One slot is given to Redeemer Armor instead of a Hot Work piece, trading a little set value for Ultimate Gain, Intellect and Strength so her Ultimate window comes back faster.
Umbral Torch works but is clearly weaker: its Heat DMG bonuses overlap with what her build already provides and quickly hit diminishing returns.
Fortmaker and Wave Tide are cheaper fallbacks used when Forgeborn Scathe is not available, with Fortmaker also doubling as the free-to-play option.
  • The Hot Work four-piece is activated by the Combustion her empowered Battle Skill applies, turning it into a sizeable Heat DMG buff for the whole kit.
  • Redeemer Armor is slotted as an off-piece for its Ultimate Gain plus Intellect and Strength, letting her re-enter her Ultimate far more often.
  • Forgeborn Scathe and its Twilight skill reinforce her Basic Attacks while her Ultimate is active, covering the part of her kit that carries the most damage.
