Last Rite is a powerful Cryo Striker who can act as a hypercarry or a Cryo enabler. She deals high burst damage and applies a valuable Cryo Susceptibility debuff, but her reliance on stacking Cryo Infliction makes her more team-dependent than most S-tier carries.
This endgame build turns Last Rite into a burst hypercarry: Khravengger boosts her skill and Cryo damage, while Tide Surge adds another layer of Skill and Arts damage whenever she applies Infliction. Swordmancer Light Armor provides extra Ultimate energy, allowing the Combo Skill > Ultimate nuke window to come up regularly. It's a rotation-heavy build, but it maximizes her single-target Cryo burst and debuff uptime.

Insights

Core Mechanics

  • Her Esoteric Legacy of Seš'qa empowers the next Final Strike with a Mirage that applies Cryo Infliction, giving her a cheap self-stacking tool.
  • Her Winter's Devourer consumes every Cryo Infliction stack on a target; it triggers at 3 stacks, but waiting for 4 stacks creates a stronger Cryo Susceptibility debuff.
  • Her Vigil Services is a burst ultimate that gains energy only from her Battle Skill and Combo Skill, so rotations must be carefully planned.
  • Consuming Infliction stacks applies Cryo Susceptibility, and Cryogenic Embrittlement makes her Ultimate amplify that susceptibility even further.

Scaling

  • Last Rite's damage scales primarily with Strength, Attack, and damage bonuses such as Skill DMG and Cryo DMG; Will also contributes to her stat budget.
  • Ultimate uptime scales with Ultimate Gain or Potential 4, which reduces Ultimate cost; teams that can reliably stack 4 Cryo Inflictions let her drop some energy investment.

Team Role

Last Rite fits as both a main hypercarry and a sub-DPS in Cryo teams. As a carry, she builds up Cryo Infliction with her Battle Skill, consumes 4 stacks with Combo Skill to apply a large Cryo Susceptibility debuff, and follows with Ultimate for the burst window. As a sub-DPS, she can support Cryo carries such as Yvonne by providing cheap Cryo Infliction and a debuff. She needs teammates who can add Cryo stacks reliably, like Ardelia, Fluorite, or Xaihi, and she struggles in stages that interfere with Infliction stacks.

Explanation

Khravengger is her best-in-slot because it boosts Skill DMG and Cryo DMG while also giving Strength and Attack, covering all the stats Last Rite wants.
Tide Surge triggers after applying 2 or more Arts Infliction stacks, something her Battle Skill does routinely, so the set's damage buff is almost always active.
Sundered Prince works for on-field play because its Stagger bonus only matters when Last Rite is active; Seeker of Dark Lung and Industry 0.1 are cheaper options until a 6-star greatsword is available.

Notes

  • Tide Surge's Skill DMG bonus and its conditional Arts DMG buff align perfectly with Last Rite's low-cost Battle Skill and Combo Skill rotation.
  • The Swordmancer Light Armor off-piece supplies Ultimate Gain, letting Last Rite use her Ultimate every other rotation when she consumes 4 stacks.
  • At Potential 4+, swap the off-piece to Type 50 Yinglung Light Armor to trade Ultimate Gain for a higher damage ceiling.
