Antal is an A-tier Electric Supporter because he provides rare Electric and Heat Amp buffs plus Susceptibility debuffs in one kit. His talent also adds group healing. However, his utility is almost entirely tied to Electric/Heat compositions, which limits where he can be used effectively.
endgamesupportelectricsupportultimate_gainampsusceptibility
Antal's endgame Electric support setup stacks Ultimate Gain Efficiency so he can keep Electric Amp and Heat Amp active, while the Eternal Xiranite set converts his buffs and debuffs into extra team damage. Detonation Unit adds Arts DMG Taken on enemies, making him a potent amplifier for Electric carries.

Explanation
Detonation Unit is chosen because its Detonate essence applies Arts DMG Taken to enemies, which turns into extra team damage whenever Antal's buffs are active.
Eternal Xiranite's set effect rewards Antal whenever he applies Amp, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened by giving the whole team +16% DMG Dealt for 15 seconds.
Redeemer Armor is used as an off-piece because it adds Ultimate Gain Efficiency, helping Antal cycle his Ultimate and keep the set bonus online.
Notes
- Keep the Eternal Xiranite cores and gloves while using Redeemer Armor as the flex slot.
- Prioritize weapon essences in this order: Detonate, Main Attribute Boost, then Arts Intensity Boost.
- This build is strongest alongside Electric DPS who can take full advantage of Electric Amp and Susceptibility.
endgamesupportheatsupportcombo_skillcooldown_reductionsusceptibility
This Heat-team support build focuses on rotating Combo Skill faster with Qingbo so Antal can keep adding stacks of Heat or Physical afflictions, while Stanza of Memorials boosts the team's ATK when sufficiently duped. It works best when another teammate already carries Eternal Xiranite so the team still gets its damage buff.

Explanation
Stanza of Memorials is the recommended best weapon once you have enough copies; its Twilight effect provides a large team ATK buff that scales with Potential 2 and beyond.
At only one copy, Detonation Unit is often better, so treat it as a strong fallback until your Stanza is duplicated.
Qingbo set reduces Combo Skill cooldown and adds Skill DMG when casting combos, letting Antal layer more Heat/Physical afflictions; pair it with Redeemer Seal as an off-piece when someone else already runs Eternal Xiranite.
Notes
- Stanza of Memorials only beats Detonation Unit after reaching Potential 2; below that, keep Detonation Unit equipped.
- Use Qingbo when another teammate already has Eternal Xiranite so the team's damage buff does not overlap.
- Combo Skill is more valuable here, so consider leveling EMP Test Site higher in Heat teams.
early gamesupportbeginnerf2pultimate_gainelectricheat
Early game, Antal just needs his Ultimate as often as possible. OBJ Arts Identifier and the Catastrophe set both push Ultimate Gain Efficiency, and the set's starting SP lets him open fights with a team-wide Amp quickly. This is a budget-friendly build that still fulfills his support role.

Explanation
OBJ Arts Identifier is the best obtainable early weapon because it increases Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Arts Intensity, letting Antal use his buffs more frequently.
Catastrophe gear grants +20% Ultimate Gain Efficiency and starts battles with 50 SP, making Antal's first rotation much faster.
Miner Fists T1 fills the glove slot as an off-piece that further raises Ultimate Gain Efficiency; the rest of the set pieces are Catastrophe gear.
Notes
- Use lock-on to land Battle Skill on the priority target so Focus and Susceptibilities are not wasted.
- Early weapon and gear choices are all about reaching Ultimate faster; damage stats are secondary.
- You can swap to Detonation Unit later if you get it, then move to Stanza for Heat teams.
Build Insights
Antal slots into Electric or Heat compositions as a dedicated enabler. He debuffs a priority target with Focus, applies Electric and Heat Susceptibility, then follows up with a team-wide Amp from his Ultimate so carries like Laevatain hit much harder during burst windows. His Combo Skill helps stack existing afflictions for extra damage, and his Talent chips in with occasional healing. Positioning-wise he wants to stay behind the frontline and use lock-on targeting to make sure Focus lands on the right enemy before the damage rotation begins. In teams already running Eternal Xiranite, he can swap to Qingbo to cycle Combo Skill faster and maximize debuff stacking.
Core Mechanics
- Battle Skill Specified Research Subject applies Focus to a single target, inflicting both Electric Susceptibility and Heat Susceptibility for a long duration. Only one enemy can have Focus at a time, so target selection matters.
- Ultimate Overclocked Moment grants the entire team temporary Electric Amp and Heat Amp for 12 seconds, creating a strong burst window for elemental carries.
- Combo Skill EMP Test Site triggers when a Focused enemy receives a Physical Status or Arts Infliction, adding another stack of that status and enabling debuff layering.
- Talent Improviser provides small team healing whenever an Amped ally deals skill damage, but each operator can only be healed once every 30 seconds.
Scaling
- Antal's support value scales mainly through skill levels: raising Ultimate and Battle Skill increases Amp and Susceptibility values, making his buffs stronger over time.
- His personal damage is not a priority, so Basic Attack and Combo Skill multipliers should only be invested in after his team-facing skills.
- In the late game, he depends on gear and weapon effects to improve Ultimate uptime and debuff application, especially Eternal Xiranite or Qingbo sets.
Character Notes
Antal is a 4-star Electric Supporter from Endfield Industries who specializes in amplifying Electric and Heat damage. He brings a long-duration single-target debuff, a team-wide elemental Amp, a combo skill that stacks afflictions, and a small amount of healing. His toolkit makes him a great fit for Electric or Heat teams, but his narrow elemental focus and low personal damage keep him from being flexible outside those comps.
Playstyle
- Use lock-on before casting Battle Skill so Focus lands on the intended enemy, since only one target can be Focused at a time.
- Hold Antal's Ultimate for when your main damage dealer is about to burst, such as Laevatain's Ultimate, so Electric Amp and Heat Amp cover the highest-damage window.
- Let Combo Skill trigger naturally after Focus is active and the target receives an infliction; it adds an extra stack of that status.
- Keep teammates under the Amp buff when they use skills so Talent Improviser's healing triggers occasionally.
Strengths
- Team-wide Electric and Heat Amp plus Susceptibility debuffs make him a strong amplifier for those elements.
- Long-duration Focus debuff assists single-target burst setups.
- Can heal allies indirectly through Improviser when Amped teammates deal skill damage.
Weaknesses
- Kit is almost entirely tied to Electric and Heat, so he is weak in other elemental teams.
- Focus can only affect one enemy at a time, limiting multi-target debuffing.
- Low personal damage; not suited for a DPS role.
Team Guide
bestelectric_teammono_electricburst_team
Antal anchors this Mono Electric setup as a support, layering Electric Amp and enemy Electric Susceptibility while Perlica and Arclight generate stacks. The goal is to push Zhuang Fangyi to nine Sunderblade stacks so her Battle Skill hits as hard as possible during her Ultimate window.
Explanation
Antal’s Battle Skill applies Focus, raising all incoming electric damage; his Combo Skill adds an extra Electric Infliction stack.
Perlica applies Electrification and triggers extra Combo Skill effects; placing her before Zhuang Fangyi in the team menu ensures her Combo Skill fires first.
Arclight cycles SP and consumes Electrification to keep the stack count moving; Antal and Perlica together contribute enough inflictions for nine Sunderblades.
Strengths
- Very high burst damage when Zhuang Fangyi reaches nine Sunderblade stacks.
- Antal and Perlica together can consistently maintain Electric Infliction stacks for reaction chains.
Weaknesses
- Rotation is strict; if Arclight consumes the wrong inflictions, the stack count can reset.
- Requires precise timing and team order, so it may be hard to execute under pressure.
Rotation
- 1Use Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus, then activate Zhuang Fangyi's Ultimate.
- 2Cast Zhuang Fangyi's Battle Skill to gain one Electric Infliction stack and summon three Sunderblades.
- 3Trigger Antal's Combo Skill to apply a second Electric Infliction stack.
- 4Use Zhuang Fangyi's Final Strike, then trigger Perlica's Combo Skill; hold Zhuang's Combo Skill for later.
- 5Cast Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger Zhuang's Combo Skill to apply level 2 Electrification.
- 6Trigger Arclight's Combo Skill, use Zhuang's Battle Skill to raise Sunderblades to six and reapply one infliction, then Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 7Do a Final Strike with Zhuang; cast Perlica's Battle Skill or Arclight's Ultimate to get two Electric Infliction stacks.
- 8Trigger Zhuang's Combo Skill to consume the inflictions before Arclight if Arclight's Ultimate was used, applying level 2 Electrification.
- 9Use Arclight's Combo Skill, Zhuang's Battle Skill to max out Sunderblades and deal damage, then Arclight's Combo Skill again.
- 10Cast Antal's Ultimate followed by Perlica's Ultimate for the Electric Amp damage boost.
- 11Use Zhuang's Battle Skill to trigger another Arclight Combo Skill.
- 12Perform Final Strike with Zhuang, trigger Perlica's Combo Skill, then Zhuang's Combo Skill for one more Arclight Combo Skill.
- 13Cast one final Zhuang Battle Skill before her Ultimate duration ends for the finishing burst.
Rotation focuses on reaching nine Sunderblade stacks, using Antal and Perlica for Electric Infliction and Arclight to consume Electrification.
alternativeelectric_teammono_electricthunderlance
An alternative Mono Electric composition that makes Avywenna the main damage dealer. Antal applies Focus and Combo Skill infliction while Perlica sets up Electrification; Arclight fuels SP and consumes statuses so Avywenna’s Thunderlances return through enemies for massive damage.
Explanation
Antal's Focus debuff amplifies all electric damage Avywenna deals, and his Combo Skill adds an extra infliction stack to trigger reactions.
Perlica's skills apply Electrification, which Arclight can consume to refresh stacks and keep the chain going.
Avywenna's Combo Skill launches Thunderlances; retrieving them with Battle Skill after Antal's Ultimate creates a powerful burst window.
Strengths
- Strong sustained electric pressure through Thunderlance repositioning.
- Arclight and Antal enable frequent reaction procs, keeping Avywenna's damage high.
Weaknesses
- Less single-target burst than the Zhuang Fangyi variant.
- Avywenna's Thunderlance return path must be carefully positioned to hit enemies.
Rotation
- 1Cast Antal's Battle Skill for Focus, then Perlica's Battle Skill for Electric Infliction; trigger Antal's Combo Skill.
- 2Perform Avywenna Final Strike, then trigger Perlica, Avywenna, and Arclight Combo Skills.
- 3Use Arclight's Battle Skill to consume Electrification, then trigger her Combo Skill again.
- 4Cast Perlica's Battle Skill, do Avywenna Final Strikes, and when her Combo Skill appears use Antal's Ultimate if available.
- 5Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill so six Thunderlances are on the field.
- 6Use Avywenna's Ultimate if ready, then her Battle Skill to retrieve the Thunderlances; position her so they hit enemies on return.
Rotate around applying Focus and Electrification, then use Avywenna's Thunderlance recall to trigger a final burst.
elementalheat_teamelemental_teammelting_flame
Antal slots into a Heat team as a utility support, leveraging his Combo Skill to re-apply Heat Infliction and his Ultimate to boost Heat damage. This lets Laevatain stack Melting Flame quickly, while Wulfgard adds more Heat stacks and Akekuri provides SP and infliction support.
Explanation
Antal's Combo Skill can re-trigger Heat Infliction, which directly feeds Laevatain's Melting Flame stacks.
Wulfgard's Battle and Combo Skills stack multiple Heat Inflictions, setting up a big Melting Flame burst.
Akekuri acts as SP battery and can add one more Heat Infliction stack, keeping the rotation smooth.
Laevatain's enhanced Battle Skill and Ultimate deal heavy damage once Melting Flame reaches four stacks.
Strengths
- Smooth stacking of Melting Flame with Antal and Wulfgard contributing Heat Infliction.
- Akekuri's SP generation lets the team use powerful Ultimates more often.
Weaknesses
- Requires careful Final Strike timing to reach four Melting Flame stacks before Laevatain's burst.
- Less flexible if Akekuri or Wulfgard are unavailable.
Rotation
- 1Open with Antal's Battle Skill to apply Focus on the enemy.
- 2Cast Wulfgard's Battle Skill to apply one Heat Infliction stack.
- 3Trigger Wulfgard's and Antal's Combo Skills to reach three Heat Infliction stacks.
- 4Use Laevatain Final Strike for three Melting Flame stacks and SP; cast Akekuri's Battle Skill for another infliction.
- 5Do another Laevatain Final Strike to reach four Melting Flame stacks.
- 6Use Antal's Ultimate when ready; once SP fills, cast Laevatain's enhanced Battle Skill then her Combo Skill.
- 7Activate Laevatain's Ultimate when available for the finishing blow.
Build Heat Infliction stacks with Antal and Wulfgard, fuel Laevatain's Melting Flame, then unleash her enhanced skills and Ultimate.
Team Insights
Antal is primarily a support/debuffer who makes both Electric and Heat teams hit harder. His kit applies Focus, which raises damage taken, and his Combo Skill can stack infliction effects. In Electric teams he pairs with Arclight, Perlica, and either Zhuang Fangyi or Avywenna to build stacks and amplify burst. In Heat teams he works with Laevatain and Wulfgard to stack Heat Infliction and fuel Melting Flame. He is flexible but not a primary damage dealer, so team construction should focus on enabling carry characters.
Synergy Patterns
- Electric teams: Antal's Focus plus Perlica's Electrification and Arclight consuming statuses creates frequent reactive bursts.
- Zhuang Fangyi needs nine Sunderblade stacks; Antal and Perlica supply the extra inflictions to reach that cap.
- Avywenna's Thunderlance retrieval hits hardest when Antal's Ultimate is active for the Electric Amp.
- Heat teams: Antal's Combo Skill re-applies Heat Infliction, making Melting Flame stack faster for Laevatain.
- Akekuri's SP generation lets Antal and Laevatain use their Ultimate windows more often.
Tips
- Keep Antal in the support slot; his damage is secondary, so focus on timing his Battle and Combo Skills.
- In the Zhuang Fangyi team, place Perlica before Zhuang in the party list so her Combo Skill triggers first.
- When using Avywenna, position her so Thunderlances travel through enemies on the return path.
- Save Antal's Ultimate for the damage window, not for random use; it amplifies the entire team.
- For Heat teams, prioritize reaching four Melting Flame stacks before Laevatain's enhanced Battle Skill.
