Weapons
CRIT DMG
A support-oriented polearm that may grant team buffs; test whether its effect boosts off-field burst damage or ER to justify using it.
Energy Recharge
Converts Energy Recharge into ATK and refunds energy after Burst. Perfect for high-cost bursts—every point of ER feeds both uptime and damage.
ATK%
Raises ATK and grants elemental DMG bonus after using an Elemental Skill. Complements off-field rotations where the Skill initiates the burst.
CRIT DMG
Provides high CRIT DMG and ATK from Max HP. Lacks ER, so pair with an ER sands or Emblem set to meet burst requirements.
CRIT DMG
Likely a CRIT-focused weapon; its substat helps damage but forces ER from artifacts or supports. Use if you can balance stats.
CRIT Rate
Grants Energy Recharge and enhances Elemental Burst DMG, directly addressing both energy and damage needs for an off-field build.
CRIT Rate
Scales ATK off Elemental Mastery, which may be wasted on a pure off-field DPS. Still offers a CRIT substat; consider only if EM is built.
ATK%
Boosts ATK and protects with a shield. Lacks ER, so rely on teammates or an ER substat from artifacts to maintain burst uptime.
Elemental Mastery
Restores energy after triggering an elemental reaction, easing the pressure of a high-cost burst—especially in reaction-heavy teams.
CRIT Rate
Gives a high CRIT Rate and an ATK boost but no ER. Best paired with an ER sands or an ER-buffing artifact set to bridge the gap.
Energy Recharge
Generates energy particles for the whole team on CRIT, which accelerates burst cooldowns. Personal damage suffers but utility shines.
Energy Recharge
Provides Energy Recharge and CRIT Rate, plus a burst vacuum effect. A solid all-rounder that balances energy and personal damage.
CRIT Rate
If it mirrors other Sacrificial weapons, it may reset the Skill cooldown—less useful for burst-oriented DPS but could refund energy upon Skill use.
CRIT Rate
Grants a fat CRIT Rate boost and ATK stacking. No ER, so it demands external energy support; pick when the ER target is already met.
CRIT Rate
Likely a CRIT-heavy weapon with potential HP scaling; ensure ER is covered by artifacts or a battery to keep bursts flowing.
ATK%
A 4-star budget option that may offer ATK% or ER; good early-mid game when resources are tight.
Energy Recharge
An event or craftable weapon that may boost Skill or Burst damage. Check its passive—if it supports off-field damage, it's a worthy pick.
Energy Recharge
A newer polearm likely featuring an elemental DMG bonus or ER substat; evaluate whether its passive synergizes with off-field burst.
ATK%
Increases Elemental Burst DMG based on the team's max energy cost. In a team with high-energy allies, this can rival 5-star options.
Artifacts
Boosts Elemental Skill DMG and further increases it while off-field. Ideal if the character's Skill is part of the off-field rotation; less useful for burst-heavy play.
Provides Cryo DMG bonus and CRIT bonuses in Cryo-based teams. Strong for a Cryo off-field DPS when Freeze or Superconduct is active.
Boosts Elemental Skill DMG and further increases it while off-field. Ideal if the character's Skill is part of the off-field rotation; less useful for burst-heavy play.
2-piece boosts HP, and 4-piece raises ATK for the team after an Elemental Skill hits. Useful when the character relies on HP or supports a shield-based team.
A Natlan-set that grants elemental damage bonus after triggering a Cinder reaction. Great for off-field characters that can consistently react.

- Sacrificer's Staff: At R5, similar to Engulfing Lightning.

LOW ENERGY REQUIREMENT (3-4 CRYO TEAM MEMBERS)
Weapon choices:
- Deathmatch: At R5 vs 1 enemy, equal to Lumidouce Elegy.
