Wulfgard
Sendgame dps
dpssupport
Wulfgard is a Heat Caster capable of applying two stacks of Heat Infliction for team setups or consuming Combustion or Electrification to unleash his enhanced Battle Skill. While his damage output as a DPS is modest and limited to single-target, he excels as an Infliction support by enabling powerful Arts Reactions.
The Endgame Combustion DPS build revolves around triggering Combustion and consuming it with the Battle Skill for massive additional hits. Rational Farewell provides a consistent ATK buff, while the Hot Work set amplifies Heat damage and Combustion procs. This build excels in single-target burst damage, especially when paired with teammates who can apply other elements for reaction setup.
