Build Notes

Da Pan—endgame dps

Rank #2

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Da Pan's burst damage through Vulnerability consumption. Amaranthine Tassel provides a solid base of Attack and Physical DMG, while Grizzled Edge turns every Crush into a powerful Physical DMG buff. The off-set Swordmancer NAV Beacon adds Arts Intensity for extra consistency. In AoE encounters, Da Pan can rapidly reduce Combo Skill cooldown via his Ultimate, making this build highly effective against groups.

Amaranthine Tassel is chosen because its Attack and Physical DMG bonuses directly amplify Da Pan's Combo Skill and Ultimate damage.

Grizzled Edge's 4-piece effect synergizes perfectly with Da Pan's Vulnerability consumption, granting Physical DMG after Crush; the buff can be increased further if the target has Physical Susceptibility, is Staggered, or has attached Originium Crystals.

Exemplar is a strong alternative due to its huge Physical DMG boost, which Da Pan can maximize with a single Ultimate cast. Phantom Pain works but is harder to stack because Da Pan seldom uses Battle Skill and needs 4 Vulnerability stacks for Combo Skill.

Amaranthine Tassel boosts Attack and Physical DMG, matching Da Pan's burst windows.
Grizzled Edge set triggers after consuming Vulnerability stacks to apply Crush, granting a large Physical DMG buff.
Swordmancer NAV Beacon provides extra Arts Intensity as an off-set piece.

Catcher—endgame dps

Best in Slot

This endgame DPS build turns Catcher into a front-line bruiser rather than a defensive anchor. With Exemplar and the Aethertech set, every successful Battle Skill parry and Ultimate use stacks Vulnerability and physical damage buffs, so his personal burst climbs during prolonged fights. It asks for aggressive play: read enemy attacks, use Rigid Interdiction to parry, then capitalize on the SP refund to repeat the loop. Alternative weapons like Amaranthine Tassel and Sundered Prince still work if Exemplar is unavailable, though they lose some synergy with his kit.

Exemplar is chosen because its Suppression effect can be triggered by Catcher's Battle Skill retaliation, giving up to 40% Physical DMG at max stacks at Potential 0.

Aethertech set gives extra ATK and Physical DMG whenever Catcher applies Vulnerability, which his Battle Skill and Ultimate do frequently.

Swordmancer TAC Gloves is an off-piece because it lines up with his Strength/Will needs and adds Physical DMG without losing set bonuses.

Pairs well with parry-focused play: using Battle Skill at the right moments keeps the Aethertech damage buff stacked and refunds SP.
Exemplar's Suppression combines with Catcher's own Vulnerability stacks for a large Physical damage window.
Not recommended if you want Catcher to play as a pure tank; this investment pushes his damage instead.

Mi Fu—endgame dps

Rank #3

The endgame Crush DPS build pushes Mi Fu's burst potential as high as possible by combining Amaranthine Tassel with the Grizzled Edge set. The weapon converts her Physical Susceptibility application into extra Physical DMG and Arts Intensity, while the gear set rewards her constant Crush triggers. This setup makes her a self-sufficient frontline carry who can shred single targets and enable the physical damage of her entire team, provided she can complete her three-step Battle Skill chain.

Amaranthine Tassel is her best-in-slot because her Combo Skill applies Physical Susceptibility, which lets the weapon grant both Physical DMG% and Arts Intensity%, directly improving the damage of Trail and Mangle and World Splitter.

The Grizzled Edge 4-piece bonus scales with consumed Vulnerability stacks, and since Mi Fu's rotation constantly applies Crush, she can easily stack and maintain the bonus at maximum value.

Phantom Pain is a strong secondary option from the Protocol Pass; its Strength and Arts Intensity are useful and its Suppression stacks build naturally as Mi Fu uses her Battle Skill repeatedly.

Exemplar can be used as a raw attack/stat stick for players who don't have the specialized options, while Ancient Canal remains a solid 5-star fallback that provides Strength and Arts Intensity with a reliably triggered skill.

Amaranthine Tassel's Combative effect triggers whenever Mi Fu applies Physical Susceptibility, which her Combo Skill does naturally, giving her a self-sufficient damage buff.
Grizzled Edge adds Physical DMG after Crush or Breach, and Mi Fu's frequent Crush applications make this set nearly always active in her rotation.
The flex slot with Swordmancer NAV Beacon is preferred because it provides a large Strength and Arts Intensity boost without diluting the Physical DMG saturation from the set.
