Avywenna

early game dps

dpsburstelectricstriker

Avywenna is rated at the top of the tier list for her controlled, high-impact burst damage. Her Thunderlance mechanic rewards planning: she plants lances with her Combo Skill and pulls them back with her Battle Skill for heavy Electric damage and stagger. She excels in the Umbral Monument endgame mode and reaches her ceiling with a fairly accessible Electric team.

This early game DPS build uses Cohesive Traction together with the Mordvolt Insulation set to give Avywenna a cheap but usable damage setup. Cohesive Traction boosts Electric DMG after a Combo Skill, lining up with her lance-planting opener, while Mordvolt Insulation adds Attack and Arts DMG as long as she stays above 80% HP. A Mordvolt Resistant Vest fills the off-slot since it provides both Will and Agility. It is meant as a bridge build until a full endgame set can be assembled.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Thunderlance: Strike plants Thunderlances when the controlled operator lands a Final Strike on a target with Electric Infliction or Electrification.
Thunderlance: Interdiction recalls all lances, piercing enemies along their path for Electric damage and stagger while refunding Energy.
The Ultimate Thunderlance: Final Shock deals heavy Electric damage and leaves a Thunderlance EX that applies Electric Infliction.
Expedited Delivery converts lance hits into Ultimate Energy, so every planted and recalled lance helps her reach the next Ultimate.

Scaling

Her damage scales primarily with Will (main attribute) and Agility (secondary), plus the multipliers on her Battle Skill and lances.
Without an Electric Infliction or Electrification source she cannot trigger her Combo Skill, so early performance is team dependent.
Her gear ceiling grows a lot: the endgame Bonekrusha and JET setup adds substantial Arts DMG and Battle Skill bonuses.

Team Role

Avywenna is a main DPS who wants to be the controlled operator so she can place and detonate her own Thunderlances. Her rotation relies on an Electric teammate providing Electric Infliction or Electrification first, so her Combo Skill can fire and plant lances. She then uses the Ultimate to add a Thunderlance EX and Electric Susceptibility, before recalling every lance with the Battle Skill for a burst of damage, stagger, and Energy refund. Because of that setup requirement she is best built around Electric units that enable her, acting as the team's damage centerpiece. She performs especially well in the permanent Umbral Monument mode, and her core supporting team is relatively accessible.

Explanation

Cohesive Traction is the pick here because it raises Electric DMG after a Combo Skill, which fits her lance-planting opener.

The Mordvolt Insulation set leans on Attack and Arts DMG, and its above-80% HP condition is simple to keep early on.

Mordvolt Resistant Vest is the off-piece because it grants both Will and Agility, her two key attributes.

Aggeloslayer is a reasonable fallback if Cohesive Traction is unavailable.

Notes

Treat this as a stepping stone and move into the Bonekrusha endgame setup once better gear is available.
Stay above 80% HP to keep the Mordvolt Insulation Arts DMG buff online during her rotation.
