Weapons
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG plus Geo DMG bonus after using Elemental Skill. Stacks slowly on her 12s cooldown, but the raw stats carry it.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate and on-field elemental DMG ramp suits her sustained DPS playstyle.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT Rate, but the HP-scaled passive does little for her; use as a stat stick.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG stat stick; its HP-focused effect is wasted, but the base stats are strong.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate and a passive that rewards HP changes—rarely triggers for her, so mostly stats.
ATK%
ATK% and an elemental DMG bonus with AoE procs—solid all-rounder.
ATK%
Shield-dependent ATK% passive is perfect with Crystallize shards she constantly creates—one of her best.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG and normal attack speed boost that speeds up her Star Jade generation.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG with random buffs on swap; Geo DMG and ATK% are great, Elemental Mastery is dead.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate and a passive that boosts normal and skill damage, feeding her Star Jade loop perfectly.
ATK%
ATK% stat stick; the plunging attack passive is useless for her, so only for stats.
ATK%
Craftable ATK% option; healing-based passive won't trigger often, but decent free-to-play base.
ATK%
Free event catalyst that boosts Charged Attacks—her main damage source—plus ATK%.
Artifacts
4-piece is tailor-made: picking a Crystallize shard boosts ATK% and Geo DMG bonus.
2-piece Geo DMG is great; the 4-piece buff is more for support teams, so use it as a 2-piece.
2-piece Geo DMG is usable, but the 4-piece DEF passive is wasted on her.
4-piece converts Energy Recharge into Burst damage, helping fund her 80-cost Burst.
2-piece Geo DMG is great; the 4-piece buff is more for support teams, so use it as a 2-piece.
Not recommended: 35% damage only applies to enemies affected by Electro, which she can't apply.
Not recommended: requires Pyro-affected enemies, so it's effectively dead in her kit.
