Pogranichnik

endgame support

support buffer sp_regen

Pogranichnik shines in mono-physical teams by applying Breach and consuming Vulnerability stacks to restore SP and buff the entire party with Fervent Morale. His ability to boost ATK and Arts Intensity for all operators, combined with massive SP generation from his Ultimate, makes him a top-tier support. While his personal damage is modest, the team-wide amplification he provides is exceptional, earning him an S rating.

This endgame build turns Pogranichnik into a powerful SP battery and Physical DMG amplifier. With Never Rest and the Frontiers set, every SP recovery event grants a stacking Physical DMG buff to the whole team, while the Bonekrusha piece ensures quicker ultimate cycles. The result is a support that not only keeps the team’s skills flowing but also significantly raises their damage ceiling, especially in mono‑physical compositions.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Applies Breach with The Pulverizing Front to consume Vulnerability stacks, increasing Physical DMG taken by enemies.
Restores SP for the team via Full Moon Slash and Shieldguard Banner, Forward based on Vulnerability stacks consumed.
Grants Fervent Morale after recovering 80 SP with his own skills, boosting ATK and Arts Intensity for all operators.
Ultimate summons Shieldguards that generate Steel Oath points; consuming them with Physical statuses triggers additional SP recovery and massive AoE damage.

Scaling

Early game: relies on SP recovery and team buffs; Thermite Cutter provides a solid start with ATK buffs after SP restoration.
Late game: scales exponentially with Vulnerability stack management and high-uptime Fervent Morale; Never Rest and Frontiers set amplify both personal and team Physical DMG.
Team dependency: requires allies who can apply Vulnerability stacks consistently to maximize SP recovery and buff uptime.

Team Role

Pogranichnik serves as an SP battery and offensive buffer, best placed in mono-physical teams that can reliably apply Vulnerability stacks. His Battle Skill inflicts Breach to amplify Physical DMG, while his Combo Skill and Ultimate restore significant SP for the party. Positioning him with characters that apply Vulnerability—such as Guards or Defenders with Physical statuses—ensures constant SP flow and Fervent Morale uptime, dramatically increasing the team's overall damage output.

Explanation

Never Rest is chosen for its dual Physical DMG boost—stronger for the wielder and a party‑wide buff that stacks up to 5 times. It synergizes perfectly with Pogranichnik’s frequent SP recovery skills.

The Frontiers gear set is ideal because its 2‑piece bonus triggers a team‑wide DMG buff after any SP restoration, amplifying both Pogranichnik’s support and sub‑DPS contributions.

Using one Bonekrusha piece speeds up Ultimate generation, which translates to more Steel Oath triggers and additional SP for the team.

Thermite Cutter is the best alternative if Never Rest is unavailable, providing a team ATK buff on SP restore. Eminent Repute works when Vulnerability stacks are consumed rapidly but offers a weaker team buff.

Notes

Focuses on maximizing SP recovery and team Physical DMG.
Frontiers set reduces Combo Skill CD and grants a party DMG buff after SP is restored.
Bonekrusha off‑piece improves Ultimate uptime and boosts Will/Agility.
