Camille is rated this highly because he multiplies his team's output instead of carrying with his own numbers. His Battle Skill plants Weakness and Heat Susceptibility on a target, his Combo Skill and Ultimate refund SP and hand out rare Link buffs, and his Talent grants the whole squad a share of his stacking Heat DMG bonus.
This is Camille's endgame support setup, built to squeeze the maximum number of Link buffs, SP refunds, and Heat vulnerability windows out of him. The Blessing of Lustrous Carmine provides teamwide ATK and Heat DMG while accelerating his Ultimate, and the Frontiers set converts his frequent SP recovery into a party-wide damage bonus on top of its Combo Skill cooldown reduction. A Redeemer Seal off-piece supplies the Intellect that scales his self-healing Talent and the Ultimate Gain that keeps his debuff and Link uptime high. Together the pieces let him open with Firefang Vesperwings, trigger Heartstake Thorn off an ally's Heat consumption, and cycle Ultimates often enough that the enemy is almost always carrying Weakness and Heat Susceptibility.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Blazing Exorcism summons Firefang Vesperwings, which applies Heat Infliction plus Weakness and Heat Susceptibility to one target. Only a single set of Vesperwings can exist, and it jumps to a new enemy when its host dies.
- Heartstake Thorn is the Combo Skill and fires whenever an enemy's Heat Infliction is consumed or absorbed. It dashes for Heat DMG, refunds SP, and if it strikes a target still marked by Firefang Vesperwings it detonates for bonus damage and a Link buff.
- Sanguine Downpour is the Ultimate: it rains damage, applies Heat Infliction, restores SP, and converts the next Battle Skill into Hunter Pursuit, a free Combo-type dash that always grants Link.
- Hunter of Transgression heals Camille when his Combo Skill connects with a Vesperwings-marked enemy, and Bloodfount Revival turns any skill-based healing into stacking Heat DMG bonuses for him plus a fraction for allies.
Scaling
- Camille's personal multipliers are low, so investment should chase uptime rather than damage. Agility, Intellect, and Ultimate Gain Efficiency are the stats that keep his debuffs, Link buffs, and SP refunds flowing.
- His ceiling depends on teammates: anything that consumes or absorbs Heat Infliction fires his Combo Skill, so pairing him with arts reactions or Heat appliers sharply raises his value.
- Ultimate Gain only becomes available with higher-rarity gear, which means his full support loop truly comes online in the endgame rather than during early progression.
Team Role
Camille is a supportive Vanguard built around enabling allies rather than dealing damage himself. He plants Firefang Vesperwings with his Battle Skill to stack Weakness and Heat Susceptibility on a priority target, then feeds his team with Link buffs and SP refunds through his Combo Skill and Ultimate. Because the Combo Skill triggers whenever Heat Infliction is consumed or absorbed, he slots naturally into Heat compositions that already apply and pop that status, but he is also surprisingly splashable: any arts team with a second non-Heat Infliction source can flip his Combo Skill on without disturbing its own rotation. In practice you open with Battle Skill on the main threat, let your damage dealer consume the Infliction to trigger Heartstake Thorn (ideally while Vesperwings is still hovering for the explosion and Link), and weave in the Ultimate whenever it is ready to refresh Heat stacks and convert his next Battle Skill into Hunter Pursuit. Position him so his debuff lands before your carry's burst window, and treat his Intellect/Ultimate Gain investment as a way to keep the healing-driven Bloodfount Revival stacks and Link windows permanently active.

Explanation
The weapon is chosen because it covers two jobs at once: it raises the whole squad's ATK and Heat damage while also speeding up Camille's Ultimate, which is his main source of extra Heat Infliction and Link windows.
The Frontiers set fits his kit perfectly since several of his skills return SP, turning each SP refund into an additional teamwide damage buff rather than a purely personal gain.
Redeemer Seal is used off-set for Intellect, which scales the healing from Hunter of Transgression, and for Ultimate Gain, which keeps his support loop running.
Beacon of Duty is the go-to alternative when you want teamwide Physical and Heat damage buffs from its Efficacy skill; JET and Pathfinder's Beacon are purely selfish stat-sticks for players who would rather Camille hit harder than support.
Notes
- The Frontiers set shortens Combo Skill cooldown and hands the team a damage buff every time Camille regains SP with a skill, which his Combo Skill, Ultimate, and Hunter Pursuit do constantly.
- Redeemer Seal is the off-piece because it piles on Intellect and Ultimate Gain, feeding both his healing Talent and his Link/Heat uptime.
- Blessing of Lustrous Carmine is the signature pick here, supplying teamwide ATK and Heat DMG buffs alongside Camille's own Ultimate gain.
