Arclight

early game support

support sp_generator buffer

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.

This early game build focuses on maximizing Arclight's Intellect to strengthen her teamwide Electric DMG buff. The Mordvolt Insulation set grants a significant Intellect boost and conditional Arts damage, while Thermite Cutter provides an Attack buff for the whole party. It's a straightforward, effective setup for new players progressing through the early to mid game.

Insights

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.

Team Role

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.

Explanation

In the early game, Arclight benefits most from high Intellect to enhance her Wildland Trekker buff. Mordvolt Insulation directly boosts Intellect and provides conditional Arts DMG.

Thermite Cutter is a strong early weapon due to its team Attack buff and accessibility. It remains a solid choice even in endgame.

Notes

Mordvolt Insulation provides +50 Intellect and 20% Arts DMG when HP > 80%, boosting Arclight's talent buff and damage.
Thermite Cutter is obtained early from the New Horizons banner weapon selector.
