Build Notes

Catcher—endgame dps

Rank #2

This endgame setup treats Catcher as a personal damage dealer rather than a pure wall. Exemplar brings Attack plus the Suppression essence line, and the Aethertech set turns his constant Vulnerability applications into escalating Physical DMG. A Swordmancer TAC Gloves off-piece adds matching stats and more Physical DMG on top. Because his Battle Skill refunds SP and retaliates when the shield is struck, the whole package pays him back for standing directly in front of enemies and cycling his skills aggressively instead of hanging back.

Exemplar is the pick because his Battle Skill stacks its Suppression effect, capping out at a 40% Physical DMG bonus at Potential 0.

Aethertech is the core set here; the Vulnerability he spreads through his kit switches on its Physical DMG bonus and its extra 16% at four stacks.

Swordmancer TAC Gloves is slotted as the off-piece for matching attributes and a further bump to Physical DMG.

Amaranthine Tassel is a close second but needs Physical Susceptibility or Crush to use its Combative buffs, neither of which he can trigger; Sundered Prince performs well only if he stays the controlled operator for Crusher; OBJ Heavy Burden remains the budget fallback.

Aethertech's set bonus and Exemplar's Suppression effect both build off the same Battle Skill activity, so they reinforce one another during long engagements.
The build actually rewards getting hit: the retaliation triggered while his shield is up is what applies Vulnerability and starts the Physical DMG ramp.
Players with good parry timing on Rigid Interdiction will notice far more value than those who only fire it reactively.

Da Pan—endgame dps

Best in Slot

This endgame setup turns Da Pan into a Physical burst dealer built around Vulnerability cycling. Amaranthine Tassel supplies the Attack and Physical DMG multipliers that make his MORE SPICE! Crush hit hard, while the Grizzled Edge set adds more Physical DMG whenever he spends Vulnerability stacks on Crush or Breach. The Swordmancer NAV Beacon off-piece tops up Arts Intensity so his overall scaling stays healthy. The build works best when the Ultimate is used to slam several enemies, generating Prep Ingredients that keep his Combo Skill rotation fast. Against single targets the pattern slows down, so alternatives like Exemplar or Phantom Pain exist for players who want different buff conditions, but Amaranthine Tassel remains the default, with Ancient Canal serving only as a low-investment fallback.

Amaranthine Tassel is the top pick since it raises Attack and Physical DMG, matching Da Pan's Crush-focused burst window.

Exemplar sits close behind because it provides a large Physical DMG bonus that a single Ultimate cast can fully unlock.

Phantom Pain gives Physical DMG after using a Battle Skill or Combo Skill, but Da Pan rarely presses his Battle Skill and his Combo Skill only fires at 4 Vulnerability stacks, so the buffs accrue slowly.

Ancient Canal falls to a budget slot, mostly valued early for its Arts Intensity and Strength.

Grizzled Edge is chosen because its effect activates on Crush or Breach and scales with the number of Vulnerability stacks consumed.

Amaranthine Tassel drives this build by lifting his Attack and Physical DMG, which directly boosts Crush damage.
Grizzled Edge lines up perfectly with his rotation because it rewards consuming Vulnerability for Crush or Breach.
Swordmancer NAV Beacon is the off-set piece and adds extra Arts Intensity.

Mi Fu—endgame dps

Best in Slot

This endgame build turns Mi Fu into a burst Crush damage dealer for mono-Physical teams. Amaranthine Tassel supplies Attack and Strength while its Combative effect is reliably triggered by the Physical Susceptibility she applies with her Combo Skill, and the Grizzled Edge set rewards every Crush or Breach application with a Physical DMG bonus that escalates against debuffed or Staggered enemies. The Swordmancer NAV Beacon completes the loadout as an off-piece, trading the last set bonus for a large Strength and Arts Intensity boost that feeds directly into World Splitter's Crush scaling. Together the pieces push Strength, Attack, Physical DMG and Arts Intensity, matching the stats she cares about most and letting her chain Battle Skill moves into a heavy damage window. Use this setup once endgame gear is farmed and the team can supply Stagger and Vulnerable support.

Weapon reasoning: Amaranthine Tassel is the best fit because its trigger condition matches what Mi Fu already does, and its Attack and Strength essence lines align with how her Crush damage scales.

Alternative reasoning: Phantom Pain swaps some Attack for extra Strength and Arts Intensity and her constant Battle Skill casts quickly max out its Suppression effect; Exemplar is a straightforward stat stick with the same Suppression stacking; Ancient Canal stays as the fallback when no high-rarity greatsword is owned.

Gear reasoning: Grizzled Edge suits her because she is one of the few operators who can both apply Physical Susceptibility and land Crush, keeping the set's conditional damage buff almost permanently active.

Flex reasoning: with Physical DMG already saturated by pieces, set effect and weapon skills, the raw Strength and Arts Intensity from Swordmancer NAV Beacon beats completing the set, whether she detonates Crush at three or four stacks.

Amaranthine Tassel takes the top slot because Mi Fu's own Combo Skill applies Physical Susceptibility, which satisfies the condition for its Combative effect and grants Physical DMG plus Arts Intensity.
The full Grizzled Edge kit converts her Crush and Breach application into a stacking Physical DMG bonus, and the bonus grows further against Staggered, susceptible or crystal-tagged targets.
Swordmancer NAV Beacon covers the flex slot, giving up a set bonus for a hefty chunk of Strength and Arts Intensity.
