Gilberta ranks SS because she provides the strongest Arts Susceptibility in the game and can fit into almost any team as either a core or flex support. Her Nature Infliction and lift mechanics unlock reactions for hybrid comps while her team-wide buffs and healing make her extremely valuable.
endgamesupportultimate_gainteam_buffarts_debuffflex_slot
This endgame setup focuses on maximizing Ultimate frequency and team-wide damage. Delivery Guaranteed supplies energy and an Arts damage buff, while Eternal Xiranite adds more energy, Intellect, and a 16% damage buff for the whole party when Gilberta applies debuffs. Redeemer Armor fills the missing slot with extra Intellect and Ultimate Gain, letting Late Reply heal more while keeping her debuffs active.

Explanation
Delivery Guaranteed solves her need for frequent Ults and turns each cast into a team damage buff, which is exactly what a debuff support wants.
Eternal Xiranite's stat lines line up with her Intellect-scaling heal and Ultimate Gain, while its set effect triggers naturally whenever she applies Susceptibility or other statuses.
If the signature weapon is unavailable, Stanza of Memorials is a strong fallback for hybrid teams; keep the same gear direction and prioritize Ultimate Gain.
Notes
- Delivery Guaranteed is her signature option: it boosts Ultimate Gain and grants a teamwide Arts damage buff.
- Eternal Xiranite set pieces provide Ultimate Gain and Intellect, and the set bonus raises team damage by 16% after Gilberta applies a debuff.
- Redeemer Armor is used as the off-piece because it adds valuable Intellect and Ultimate Gain.
early gamesupportbeginnerf2pultimate_gainteam_buff
This early game build keeps Gilberta functional as a debuffer and buffer before specialized sets are available. Stanza of Memorials amplifies the team's Attack with each Ultimate, and the Catastrophe set grants extra Ultimate Gain plus a starting SP burst. The mix of Intellect and Ultimate Gain from the off-piece lets Gilberta continue healing while maintaining high debuff uptime.

1ultimate_gain_boost2intellect_boost
Explanation
Stanza is chosen for early progression because it directly amplifies the team's damage with a generic Attack buff and needs no special investment.
Catastrophe provides the energy foundation that lets Gilberta cycle her Ultimate more often, and the opening 50 SP makes her first debuff rotation fast.
Use Aburrey Flashlight as the off-piece since it grants Intellect and Ultimate Gain without sacrificing the Catastrophe set bonus.
Notes
- Stanza of Memorials gives a massive teamwide Attack buff when Gilberta uses her Ultimate, making it an accessible support weapon.
- Catastrophe boosts Ultimate Gain Efficiency and restores 50 SP at battle start, so she can apply debuffs much sooner.
- Catastrophe gloves and kit pieces lack Ultimate Gain but add Arts Intensity, which strengthens her Corrosion and Lift effects; Aburrey Flashlight covers Intellect and Ultimate Gain.
Build Insights
Gilberta works best as a backline support enabling the main DPS. She clusters enemies with her gravity well, triggers Arts reactions, and applies Nature Infliction for Corrosion. Her Ultimate debuffs enemy defenses via Arts Susceptibility, making her a core enabler in Arts teams. In hybrid or teams without another Nature unit, she still contributes Vulnerability and team buffs, so she can occupy a flexible slot without compromising composition.
Core Mechanics
- Arcane Staff: Gravity Mode pulls enemies into a gravity well, deals Nature damage, and applies Nature Infliction when it explodes.
- After an Arts reaction occurs, Arcane Staff: Matrix Displacement becomes available to gather and Lift enemies, adding Vulnerability stacks.
- Her Ultimate creates a gravity field that slows enemies, applies Nature Infliction, and grants Arts Susceptibility; the debuff scales with Vulnerability stacks.
- Talent Messenger's Song raises Ultimate Gain Efficiency for allied guards, casters, and supporters, while Late Reply heals based on Intellect.
Scaling
- Gilberta scales primarily with Ultimate uptime and Intellect, since her debuff application and healing both depend on those stats.
- She is strong from early game as a debuffer, but her value increases in late game Arts teams where high uptime on Arts Susceptibility multiplies carry damage.
- Her damage scalings are modest, so investing in survivability and Intellect rather than raw offense is recommended.
Character Notes
Gilberta is a 6-star Nature Support who revolves around grouping enemies, applying Nature Infliction, and stacking debuffs. She is one of the strongest enablers for Arts teams thanks to the highest Arts Susceptibility in the game, and she also brings crowd control, Vulnerability, healing, and team-wide Ultimate Gain. Her flexible kit lets her fill a core or flex support slot in many team comps.
Playstyle
- Use her Battle Skill to pull enemies together and apply Nature Infliction, setting up reactions for the main DPS.
- After an Arts reaction triggers, use her Combo Skill to lift enemies and add Vulnerability stacks.
- Cast her Ultimate inside the grouped enemies to apply Arts Susceptibility; prioritize this debuff before the team's damage window.
- If Gilberta is at full HP, her heal from Late Reply automatically targets the lowest-HP teammate, so don't be afraid to get her involved in melee range.
Strengths
- Highest Arts Susceptibility in the game makes her mandatory for serious Arts team compositions.
- Provides multiple utility tools: pull, slow, Lift, Vulnerability, Nature Infliction, and team-wide Ultimate Gain.
- Intellect-based healing keeps her useful in sustained fights without taking a dedicated healer slot.
- Works as a flex unit in physical or hybrid teams thanks to generic Vulnerability and Attack buffs.
Weaknesses
- Her personal damage is low, so she should not be built as a main damage dealer.
- Relies heavily on Ultimate rotation; without energy support her debuffs feel slow.
- Lift and reaction setup require timing and enemy positioning, so she is less effective against unfriendly or scattered targets.
Team Guide
elementalcryo_teamnature_team
A control-focused composition built around Yvonne's Cryo damage, with Gilberta providing Nature Infliction and crowd control to compensate for Yvonne's limited AoE. Alesh and Xaihi feed SP and buffs, enabling consistent Solidification and Corrosion reactions.
Explanation
Gilberta's Nature Infliction lets Yvonne trigger Solidification with her Battle Skill, unlocking her buffs.
Gilberta's crowd control groups enemies, covering Yvonne's weakness against multiple targets.
Alesh supplies extra SP while Xaihi amplifies Cryo and Nature damage, stacking buffs on Yvonne.
Strengths
- High uptime on Solidification and Corrosion reactions.
- Excellent single-target burst thanks to Yvonne's enhanced attacks.
- Flexible supports add buffs and SP without complicating the core loop.
Weaknesses
- The rotation is timing-heavy and can fail if skills are cast too early or late.
- Gilberta's wind-up animations delay the Nature Infliction, making reactions easy to miss.
- The team depends on specific characters and has limited flexibility for substitutions.
Rotation
- 1Start Yvonne's basic attack chain and interrupt before the final hit to cast Gilberta's Battle Skill, pulling enemies together and starting the channel.
- 2While Gilberta's skill is channeling, activate Xaihi's Battle Skill so the buff lands before Yvonne's final strike.
- 3After Gilberta's skill explodes, use Yvonne's Battle Skill to solidify enemies and trigger another final strike with Xaihi's amplification.
- 4Chain Gilberta's and Yvonne's Combo Skills to apply Lift and refresh the Solidify effect.
- 5Cast Xaihi's Ultimate to buff the whole party's Nature and Cryo damage, then use Yvonne's Ultimate.
- 6While Yvonne's Ultimate is active, keep attacking and use Alesh's Ultimate to apply Cryo Infliction.
- 7Follow up with Gilberta's Ultimate to add Nature Infliction, triggering Corrosion and making enemies more vulnerable.
- 8Continue attacking with Yvonne until her Ultimate ends, then use Alesh's Combo Skill to recover SP.
- 9Close the rotation with Xaihi's Combo Skill to keep the team's damage buffs rolling.
Open with Yvonne basics and Gilberta's pull, layer Xaihi's buffs, apply reactions with skills and ultimates, and use Combo Skills to refresh debuffs while Yvonne deals the main damage.
elementalelectric_teamnature_team
A reaction-focused team that stacks Electrification and Corrosion to shred enemy resistances. Gilberta supplies Arts Susceptibility and Nature Infliction, while Avywenna consumes Thunderlances under heavy buffs for massive burst damage.
Explanation
Gilberta's Nature debuff enables Corrosion, boosting the team's overall damage output.
Perlica applies Electric Infliction so Avywenna's Thunderlances gain additional reaction value.
Arclight provides SP generation and extra Electric application, letting Avywenna chain her skill.
Strengths
- Double reaction setup with Electrification and Corrosion lowers enemy defenses and raises Arts damage.
- Avywenna's burst is amplified by multiple buffs from Gilberta and Perlica.
- Arclight's SP generation helps the whole team cycle ultimates faster.
Weaknesses
- Gilberta's Battle Skill has a delay; if an Electric Infliction lands too soon, it consumes the Nature aura and loses Avywenna's combo condition.
- Team order matters: Perlica should be placed before Avywenna to apply Electrification correctly.
- The comp leans heavily on burst damage and may struggle against spread-out enemies.
Rotation
- 1Use Perlica's Battle Skill to apply Electric Infliction to enemies.
- 2Perform Avywenna's Final Strike to throw Thunderlances and consume the reaction.
- 3Activate Perlica's and Avywenna's Combo Skills in sequence, then Arclight's and Gilberta's Combo Skills.
- 4Cast Arclight's and Gilberta's Battle Skills, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill afterward.
- 5Wait for Corrosion to trigger, then reapply Perlica's Battle Skill for another Electric Infliction and perform another Final Strike.
- 6When ultimates are available, cast Gilberta's first to debuff, then Arclight's for Electrification, and Perlica's for damage.
- 7Use Avywenna's Ultimate to unleash her full power and follow with her Combo Skill.
- 8End with Avywenna's Battle Skill to recall all Thunderlances, making sure they hit enemies on the way back.
Rotate around Electrification and Corrosion: Perlica applies Electric, Avywenna throws Thunderlances, Gilberta debuffs, and ultimates are chained to maximize burst.
advancedhybrid_teamvulnerable_team
A flexible burst comp built around stacking Vulnerable on enemies. Gilberta gathers foes and applies Nature Infliction, Wulfgard triggers Combustion, Rossi stacks additional Vulnerable, and Da Pan lands a final Crush for massive damage.
Explanation
Gilberta's Combo Skill applies Lift, granting an early Vulnerable stack while her Battle Skill and Ultimate set up reactions.
Rossi's skills add more Vulnerable stacks, amplifying Da Pan's Crush combo damage.
Wulfgard converts Gilberta's Nature Infliction into Combustion, creating a chain of debuffs.
An alternate variant swaps Wulfgard and Da Pan for Perlica and Endministrator, with Mi Fu as another main DPS option.
Strengths
- High burst potential from stacking Vulnerable combined with Crush.
- Gilberta's crowd control groups enemies for efficient AoE follow-ups.
- The team can adapt by swapping in different sub-DPS or DPS characters.
Weaknesses
- The rotation is long and requires precise timing to keep all debuffs stacked.
- Gilberta's ability wind-ups can delay the sequence and break the combo.
- The comp lacks defensive tools, so careful positioning is needed.
Rotation
- 1Use Gilberta's Battle Skill to gather enemies and apply Nature Infliction.
- 2Trigger Wulfgard's Combo Skill to ignite Combustion on the grouped enemies.
- 3Use Gilberta's Combo Skill to Lift enemies and apply the first stack of Vulnerable.
- 4Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill again or use Rossi's Ultimate to add another Arts Infliction.
- 5Use Rossi's Combo Skill to gain critical buffs, then her Battle Skill to apply Razor Clawmark.
- 6Trigger Da Pan's Combo Skill to apply Crush and deliver the heavy final hit.
- 7If Rossi's Ultimate was used earlier, cast Gilberta's Ultimate to apply her debuffs, then use Wulfgard's Battle Skill for bonus ATK.
Debuff chain: Gilberta pulls and applies Nature, Wulfgard triggers Combustion, Gilberta and Rossi stack Vulnerable, then Da Pan executes a boosted Crush.
Team Insights
Gilberta is a versatile support who slots into many team compositions thanks to her Nature Infliction, crowd control, and vulnerability debuffs. She enables key reactions like Solidification, Corrosion, and Combustion while grouping enemies for follow-up damage. Her best teams pair her with a strong damage dealer such as Yvonne, Avywenna, or Da Pan, plus supports who provide SP, buffs, or alternate elemental applications.
Synergy Patterns
- Cryo DPS like Yvonne benefit from Gilberta's Nature Infliction to trigger Solidification and Corrosion, boosting overall damage.
- Electric carries like Avywenna can chain Thunderlances while Gilberta debuffs enemies, maximizing burst output.
- Vulnerable-stack teams use Gilberta's Lift and debuffs to multiply damage from Rossi and Da Pan.
Tips
- Be mindful of Gilberta's skill wind-ups; time her abilities so reactions trigger exactly when the team needs them.
- Use her crowd control to group enemies before the main DPS unleashes a finishing move.
- If a reaction is consumed too early, let the infliction cycle reset before applying the next element.
