Weapons

Hymn of the MaelstromR1+

HP%

Signature and best-in-slot: 66.2% HP, extra Healing Bonus, and a Max HP plus ATK buff that grows another 75% on Frozen or Stellar Swirl procs.

Thrilling Tales of Dragon SlayersR5

HP%

Cheap and effective: HP substat plus a 24% ATK buff for whoever takes the field next. A 3-star, so it is easy to pick up and refine.

Jadefall's SplendorR1+

HP%

HP stat stick that also restores Energy and converts Max HP into up to 12% Hydro DMG Bonus, all of which lines up with an HP-stacked build.

Everlasting MoonglowR1+

HP%

49.6% HP plus Healing Bonus, and it converts Max HP into Normal Attack DMG for a little extra personal output.

Prototype AmberR5

HP%

Craftable F2P pick: 41.3% HP and party-wide healing after the Burst. The Energy refund is redundant since her Burst is optional.

Ash-Graven Drinking HornR5

HP%

Event option with an HP stat and an AoE hit equal to 40% of Max HP, chosen when you want more personal damage over team utility.

Artifacts

Tenacity of the Millelith

Best option: HP 2pc plus a 20% teamwide ATK buff when the Skill hits. The buff still triggers from off-field, which suits her Stellar-Swirl teams.

Tenacity of the Millelith

Vourukasha's Glow

Best option: HP 2pc plus a 20% teamwide ATK buff when the Skill hits. The buff still triggers from off-field, which suits her Stellar-Swirl teams.

Song of Days Past

Sustain-leaning alternative: 15% Healing Bonus and a damage buff for the active DPS based on the healing she records from this set.

HP%

HP/HP/HP is the default because everything in her kit scales off Max HP. An HP/HP/Healing Bonus spread is viable if you want to lean into sustain, but it is niche and full HP is usually better. Energy Recharge is optional — only build it if you plan to weave her Burst into the rotation.

Stack HP toward 65,000 to max out her A4 buff. Energy Recharge is optional because her Burst is not required by her teams. A 2pc/2pc HP split is acceptable when another party member already carries a full Tenacity of the Millelith set.
