Gilberta sits at the top of the support bracket because her Ultimate applies the largest Arts Susceptibility value currently available, and her Nature Infliction gives her intrinsic access to Corrosion without needing an extra enabler. She can either anchor an Arts composition or slide in as a flexible filler unit, and her stacking Vulnerable effects let her amplify mixed damage teams in addition to pure Arts setups.

This endgame setup turns Gilberta into a fast-cycling debuff engine. Delivery Guaranteed pairs Ultimate Gain Efficiency with a teamwide Arts damage buff, while the Eternal Xiranite set layers on additional Ultimate Gain Efficiency, Intellect, and a team damage bonus that she triggers simply by applying her Ultimate's Susceptibility. Because almost every stat she wants feeds the same loop, she fires her Ultimate noticeably more often, which means longer Slow windows, higher Arts amplification, and more frequent value from her Late Reply healing. Redeemer Seal fills the last slot for extra Intellect and Ultimate Gain, and the build remains stable even when she is the only Nature unit on the roster.

1ultimate_gain_efficiency2intellect
Explanation
The signature weapon is chosen because it bundles Ultimate Gain Efficiency with a teamwide Arts damage buff, which stacks directly on top of her own Susceptibility debuff.
Eternal Xiranite pieces mostly carry Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect, so they both speed up her Ultimate and strengthen the healing on her talent.
The set bonus is easy to switch on because it triggers the moment she lands an Amp, Protected, Susceptibility or Weakened application, which her Ultimate does every cycle.
Swap to Stanza of Memorials if the team leans Hybrid or lacks Arts damage dealers, since the attack buff it grants is more universally useful there.
Notes
- Delivery Guaranteed is her signature option and the default pick for Arts compositions.
- Essence order follows Pursuit first, then Ultimate Gain Boost, then Will Boost.
- Redeemer Seal acts as the off-piece, supplying extra Intellect and Ultimate Gain.

This starter configuration keeps Gilberta functional without demanding rare gear. The Catastrophe set provides a large Ultimate Gain Efficiency boost plus a burst of SP at battle start, so her debuff Ultimate comes online faster, while Stanza of Memorials covers the weapon slot with a broad teamwide attack buff that suits Hybrid and non-Arts squads alike. Aburrey Flashlight is slotted in as an off-piece to round out Intellect and Ultimate Gain. The result is a support who reliably recycles her Nature Infliction, Lifts and Susceptibility application early on, then transitions smoothly into the signature-weapon endgame build later.

1ultimate_gain_efficiency2arts_intensity
Explanation
Catastrophe is picked mainly for its set effect, which raises Ultimate Gain Efficiency and hands back SP at the start of a fight, letting her reach her debuff window sooner.
Stanza of Memorials is favored in this stage because it grants a large teamwide attack buff on Ultimate cast, which helps both Arts and non-Arts allies.
Although the gloves and kit in the Catastrophe set do not contribute Ultimate Gain, their Arts Intensity still strengthens her Corrosion reactions and Lift damage.
Once a player owns the signature weapon, switching to it is the natural upgrade path for Arts-heavy teams.
Notes
- Stanza of Memorials is the practical pick here, and it also works as the free-to-play choice.
- Essence order goes Twilight first, then Intellect Boost, then Attack Boost.
- Aburrey Flashlight is used off-set for its Intellect and Ultimate Gain contributions.
Build Insights
Gilberta is a backline support who never has to be the primary damage dealer to shape a fight. She typically occupies a flex or core support slot, positioning herself where her gravity well and Anomalous Gravity Field can catch multiple enemies at once. Her ideal partners are Arts-focused damage dealers who benefit from her Susceptibility debuff, but she also fits Hybrid rosters because her Lifts and Vulnerability application open up reaction combos for anyone. Rotation-wise she plays as a setup piece: the Battle Skill bunches enemies and inflicts Nature, an Arts Reaction triggers her Combo Skill for Lifts and Vulnerability, and the Ultimate then converts those stacks into a large Arts amplification window while also slowing the field. Because she often ends up as the only Nature unit on a roster, her weapon and gear choices lean heavily toward Ultimate Gain Efficiency so that the debuff window stays up as often as possible.
Core Mechanics
- Battle Skill drops a gravity well that gathers nearby enemies, then bursts for Nature DMG and applies Nature Infliction.
- Ultimate summons an Anomalous Gravity Field that Slows targets and inflicts Arts Susceptibility, boosted by how many Vulnerability stacks the target carries.
- Combo Skill becomes usable whenever an Arts Reaction lands and yanks enemies together while Lifting them and adding Vulnerability.
- Talent Messenger's Song hands Ultimate Gain Efficiency to allied guards, casters and supporters, accelerating the whole team's Ultimate cycles.
Scaling
- Early on she performs fine with cheap Ultimate Gain gear and a budget weapon, still enabling her debuff rotations and teamwide buffs.
- Late game she scales primarily through Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect, which translate into more frequent Ultimates and stronger healing from Late Reply.
- Her value grows with team quality: the more reliable her allies' Arts damage is, the more her Susceptibility amplification matters.
Character Notes
Gilberta is a Nature-aligned Supporter who fights from the backline rather than chasing damage numbers. Her identity revolves around crowd control and debuffing: the Battle Skill compresses enemies into a gravity well and tags them with Nature Infliction, her Combo Skill unlocks after any Arts Reaction to pull and Lift foes while stacking Vulnerability, and her Ultimate blankets the battlefield in an Anomalous Gravity Field that Slows everything inside and applies the strongest Arts Susceptibility in the game. On top of that, her passive talent feeds Ultimate Gain Efficiency to allied guards, casters and supporters, which speeds up the entire team's rotation. The practical result is a unit who makes allies hit harder simply by existing on the field.
Playstyle
- Open with the Battle Skill to gather enemies and land Nature Infliction before your damage dealers commit.
- Watch for an Arts Reaction so the Combo Skill becomes available, then use it to Lift targets and build Vulnerability stacks.
- Fire the Ultimate once Vulnerability is stacked, since each stack increases how much Arts Susceptibility the gravity field applies.
- Keep her positioned behind the frontline where the gravity well can pull the widest possible cluster of enemies.
- Level the Ultimate first, then the Battle Skill, and treat the Combo Skill as a lower priority since upgrades only add damage.
Strengths
- Applies the highest Arts Susceptibility value available, making her a premier enabler for Arts teams.
- Nature Infliction gives her innate access to Corrosion without needing external setup.
- Combines Slow, Lift, Vulnerability and Susceptibility in a single kit, covering both control and amplification.
- Talent Messenger's Song accelerates Ultimate rotations for guards, casters and supporters across the whole squad.
- Flexible enough to slot into Arts, Hybrid or mixed comps as either a core piece or a filler support.
Weaknesses
- Her personal damage contribution is low, so she relies on teammates to convert her debuffs into kills.
- Late Reply healing scales off Intellect, meaning poorly geared Gilberta provides limited sustain.
- The Combo Skill depends on an Arts Reaction occurring, so it can sit idle against teams that cannot trigger reactions.
- Ultimate uptime is tied to Ultimate Gain Efficiency, making her noticeably weaker with mismatched gear.

Gilberta is the glue of this Cryo-Nature composition, with Yvonne carrying the damage. Gilberta's grouping and Nature Infliction cover Yvonne's weak area coverage and let her Battle Skill trigger Solidification to switch on her personal buffs. Alesh keeps skill points flowing and Xaihi piles on DMG Amp plus amplification, so almost every cast funnels into Yvonne's burst window.
This is the team to run when Yvonne is your main carry and you need someone to handle clumping and debuffing for her.
This is the team to run when Yvonne is your main carry and you need someone to handle clumping and debuffing for her.
Explanation
Gilberta's crowd control patches Yvonne's limited AoE by pulling scattered enemies into one spot.
Her Nature Infliction gives Yvonne the condition she needs to trigger Solidification through her Battle Skill.
Alesh refills SP while Xaihi supplies Amp, so Yvonne's damage window is heavily buffed by the rest of the team.
Timing is strict: Solidification and Corrosion must land during Yvonne's burst for the comp to pay off.
Strengths
- Enormous burst damage funnelled into a single main DPS.
- Gilberta covers Yvonne's weak AoE with reliable enemy grouping.
- Multiple buff sources (DMG Amp and Arts Susceptibility) stack on top of each other.
Weaknesses
- Rotation is conditional and heavily timing-dependent.
- Gilberta's abilities have wind-up animations that must be accounted for.
- Limited defensive utility if the fight drags on.
Rotation
- 1Yvonne uses basic attacks up to the hit before her final strike while Gilberta's Battle Skill is cast.
- 2Xaihi casts her Battle Skill just before Yvonne lands the final strike.
- 3Yvonne completes a final-strike basic attack.
- 4Yvonne casts her Battle Skill once Gilberta's Nature Infliction has been applied, Solidifying enemies.
- 5Yvonne performs another final-strike basic attack to pick up Xaihi's Amp.
- 6Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill to apply Lift.
- 7Yvonne triggers her Combo Skill to reapply Solidify.
- 8Xaihi casts her Ultimate to grant Nature and Cryo Amp to the whole team.
- 9Yvonne casts her Ultimate.
- 10While Yvonne keeps attacking, Alesh casts his Ultimate to apply Cryo Infliction.
- 11Gilberta casts her Ultimate to apply Nature Infliction, trigger Corrosion, and make enemies Arts Susceptible.
- 12Yvonne continues basic attacks until her Ultimate expires.
- 13Alesh triggers his Combo Skill to recover SP.
- 14Xaihi triggers her Combo Skill to close out the rotation.
Buff Yvonne early with Xaihi, then chain Combo Skills and ultimates so that Solidification and Corrosion line up with her burst window.

Avywenna headlines this Electric setup while Gilberta opens up Corrosion through her Arts Susceptibility debuff. Pairing Electrification with Corrosion both inflates incoming Arts damage and cuts enemy resistances, and the rest of the shell exists to let Avywenna unleash as many Thunderlances as possible while buffed by Perlica and Arclight.
Explanation
Gilberta adds Arts Susceptibility, which grants the team access to Corrosion and pushes its damage noticeably higher.
Electrification plus Corrosion together raise Arts DMG Taken while lowering enemy resistances.
Avywenna's Thunderlances are the payoff, so buffs and debuffs are timed around her casts.
Perlica is typically placed before Avywenna so Electrification is already applied when the lances are thrown.
Strengths
- Two stacked debuffs (Electrification and Corrosion) meaningfully amplify team damage.
- Excellent scaling for Avywenna's Thunderlance consumption.
- Arclight and Perlica keep both SP and Electric Infliction flowing.
Weaknesses
- Gilberta's Battle Skill has a delay, so applying Electric Infliction too early consumes the setup and breaks Avywenna's Combo Skill condition.
- Strict sequencing of Infliction applications is required.
Rotation
- 1Perlica casts her Battle Skill to apply Electric Infliction.
- 2Avywenna performs a Final Strike.
- 3Perlica triggers her Combo Skill for additional damage.
- 4Avywenna triggers her Combo Skill.
- 5Arclight triggers her Combo Skill.
- 6Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill.
- 7Arclight casts her Battle Skill.
- 8Gilberta casts her Battle Skill, which applies Nature Infliction after a delay and sets up Corrosion.
- 9Arclight triggers her Combo Skill again.
- 10Once Corrosion has triggered, Perlica casts her Battle Skill to reapply Electric Infliction.
- 11Avywenna performs another Final Strike.
- 12When ultimates are ready, Gilberta casts hers first to debuff enemies.
- 13Arclight casts her Ultimate for Electrification.
- 14Perlica casts her Ultimate for damage.
- 15Avywenna casts her Ultimate when it becomes available.
- 16Avywenna triggers her Combo Skill.
- 17Avywenna casts her Battle Skill to recall every Thunderlance so they strike enemies on the way back.
Apply Electrification first, let Gilberta's Battle Skill trigger Corrosion, then refresh Electric Infliction so Avywenna can spend Thunderlances while buffed.

Gilberta anchors a hybrid comp built around Rossi, Wulfgard and Da Pan. Her Combo Skill applies Vulnerable while her Battle Skill and Ultimate layer Arts Infliction, which ignites Combustion for Wulfgard and eventually lets Da Pan trigger Crush. Two swaps are documented: Perlica can take Wulfgard's slot, and either Endministrator or Mi Fu can replace Da Pan in the main damage position.
Explanation
Gilberta's Combo Skill applies Vulnerable and her Battle Skill and Ultimate apply Arts Infliction.
Wulfgard converts her Infliction into Combustion, which in turn re-triggers Gilberta's Combo Skill for another Vulnerable stack.
Rossi can reach up to four Vulnerable stacks thanks to Gilberta's setup, boosting her critical buffs.
Da Pan closes the loop with Crush. Perlica, Endministrator, and Mi Fu are listed as substitute options.
Strengths
- Layered reactions (Combustion, Vulnerable, Crush) create strong grouped burst windows.
- Several flex swaps keep the core shell intact when a unit is missing.
Weaknesses
- Damage depends on several reaction triggers happening in sequence.
- Falters if the rotation is interrupted before Rossi and Da Pan's payoffs land.
Rotation
- 1Gilberta casts her Battle Skill to gather enemies together and apply Nature Infliction.
- 2Wulfgard triggers his Combo Skill to apply Combustion.
- 3Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill to apply Lift for the first Vulnerable stack.
- 4Either Gilberta casts another Battle Skill or Rossi uses her Ultimate to add an Arts Infliction stack.
- 5Rossi triggers her Combo Skill to gain her critical buffs.
- 6Rossi casts her Battle Skill to apply Razor Clawmark.
- 7Da Pan triggers his Combo Skill to apply Crush.
- 8If Rossi used her Ultimate in step 4, Gilberta casts her Ultimate for debuffs and Wulfgard spends the extra SP on his Battle Skill to trigger its Additional ATK.
Gilberta groups and inflicts, Wulfgard ignites Combustion, Vulnerable stacks build for Rossi, and Da Pan finishes with Crush.
elementalcryo_teamburst_teamalternative
An INT Arcane shell where Gilberta works purely as a support. She vacuums enemies together and applies Nature Infliction, which fires Arcane's Combo Skill and helps guarantee the extra Combo Skill damage lands on clustered targets. Xaihi supplies the Auxiliary Crystal plus amplification, while Tangtang fills the fourth slot; swapping her for Perlica shifts the team toward a different element and more direct damage.
Explanation
Gilberta's grouping and Nature Infliction reliably trigger Arcane's Combo Skill.
Clumped enemies mean Arcane's Combo Skill bonus damage hits as many targets as possible.
Xaihi contributes the Auxiliary Crystal along with Cryo and Nature Amp for the team.
In AoE fights it is better to hold Gilberta's Combo Skill until after her Battle Skill has grouped the enemies; in single-target fights Arcane's Battle Skill can replace it.
Strengths
- Superb AoE funneling for Arcane's Combo Skill bonus damage.
- Flexible fourth slot depending on whether you need Cryo or Electric coverage.
- Multiple support buffs concentrate damage into Arcane's burst windows.
Weaknesses
- Single-target fights reduce the value of Gilberta's grouping.
- Rotation depends on precise ordering of Imprisonment and susceptibility effects.
Rotation
- 1Tangtang casts her Battle Skill to apply a stack of Cryo Infliction.
- 2Tangtang triggers her Combo Skill immediately afterwards.
- 3Xaihi casts her Battle Skill to summon the Auxiliary Crystal.
- 4Xaihi uses her Ultimate for team amplification.
- 5Arcane casts her Ultimate to apply Corrosion.
- 6Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill.
- 7Arcane performs a Final Strike to trigger the cluster strikes of her Gloompurger Array.
- 8Arcane performs a second Final Strike.
- 9Xaihi triggers her Combo Skill to apply a stack of Cryo Infliction.
- 10Tangtang triggers her Combo Skill.
- 11Arcane triggers her Combo Skill to apply Nature and Cryo Susceptibility.
- 12Tangtang casts her Battle Skill.
- 13Gilberta uses her Ultimate to apply a level 3 Corrosion.
- 14Arcane casts her Battle Skill to end the Imprisonment from her Combo Skill and deal its additional damage.
- 15Arcane uses her Ultimate to cast Gloompurge Arcana.
Stack Cryo and Corrosion first, then run Arcane's Final Strikes and susceptibility Combo Skill before finishing with Gilberta's Ultimate and Gloompurge Arcana.

This variant of the INT Arcane core trades the Cryo-Nature shell for Heat and Electric. Camille brings Heat Infliction and Link buffs, Liino supplies buffs and extra energy, and Gilberta again clusters enemies and applies her susceptibility debuffs. The whole point is to funnel every available buff into Arcane's Gloompurge Arcana windows.
Explanation
Camille provides Heat Infliction and Link buffs, while Liino adds energy generation and her own buffs.
Gilberta groups enemies and applies her susceptibility debuff to amplify Arcane's damage.
Camille's Link buff only lands at the end of his animations, so you must wait for it before casting Arcane's Battle Skill or Ultimate.
This is the Heat-Electric alternative to the Cryo-Nature Arcane shell with Xaihi and Tangtang or Perlica.
Strengths
- Heavy buff stacking for Arcane's Gloompurge Arcana.
- Covers both Heat and Electric Infliction needs in one shell.
- Gilberta's grouping keeps Arcane's area damage efficient.
Weaknesses
- Link buff timing is finicky — casting too early wastes the boost.
- Rotation is long and unforgiving if a step is skipped.
Rotation
- 1Camille casts his Battle Skill to apply the Firefang Vesperwings debuff and a stack of Heat Infliction.
- 2Liino casts her Ultimate to activate her buffs.
- 3Arcane casts her Ultimate to apply Corrosion.
- 4Camille casts his Ultimate to enable Hunter's Pursuit and a second stack of Heat Infliction.
- 5Gilberta triggers her Combo Skill for extra damage.
- 6Liino triggers her Combo Skill for additional energy.
- 7Arcane triggers her Combo Skill to Imprison enemies and apply her susceptibility debuffs.
- 8Camille casts his Battle Skill and Hunter's Pursuit.
- 9Arcane performs a Final Strike during the animation for the first half of Gloompurge Arcana.
- 10Once Camille's Link buff is active, Arcane casts her Battle Skill to consume it for increased damage.
- 11Liino triggers her Combo Skill.
- 12Gilberta uses her Ultimate to apply her susceptibility debuff.
- 13Camille triggers his Combo Skill to gain a Link buff.
- 14Arcane performs a Final Strike during the animation for the second half of Gloompurge Arcana.
- 15With the Link buff active and Gloompurge Arcana ready, Arcane uses her Ultimate.
Apply Heat and Corrosion, stack Link buffs and debuffs, then hold Arcane's burst skills until Camille's Link buff is actually active.
Team Insights
Gilberta is an enabler rather than a damage dealer. Her kit is built around pulling enemies together, applying Nature Infliction, and stacking Vulnerable, Arts Susceptibility and Arts Infliction with her Battle Skill, Combo Skill, and Ultimate. She fits any comp that needs access to a reaction — Corrosion, Solidification, Combustion, or Crush — or that benefits from enemies being clumped in one place. The standard shell pairs her with a single strong main DPS such as Yvonne, Avywenna, Da Pan, or Arcane, plus one or two buffers or SP generators, and lets Gilberta handle area control and debuffing in the background.
Synergy Patterns
- Gilberta's Nature Infliction plus Yvonne's Battle Skill produces Solidification, turning on Yvonne's personal buffs.
- Gilberta's Arts Susceptibility plus Electric Infliction unlocks Corrosion, raising Arts damage taken and shredding resistances.
- Gilberta's Infliction plus Wulfgard produces Combustion, which loops back into Gilberta's own Combo Skill for a Vulnerable stack.
- Gilberta's Combo Skill sets Rossi up for several Vulnerable stacks, which in turn enables Da Pan's Crush.
- Gilberta's grouping plus Arcane's Combo Skill means the bonus Combo Skill damage is spread across clustered targets.
Tips
- Budget for Gilberta's wind-up animations when timing any Infliction-based reaction.
- In the Electric team, let Gilberta's Battle Skill trigger Corrosion before applying another Electric Infliction from Perlica.
- In AoE fights, delay Gilberta's Combo Skill until her Battle Skill has finished grouping enemies.
- Place Perlica ahead of Avywenna in team order so Electrification is up before the Thunderlances are thrown.
- Swapping Tangtang for Perlica in the Arcane shell trades Cryo coverage for more direct damage.

Gilberta is a Vulpo Operator of Rhodes Island who serves Endfield Industries as a Messenger within the Specialist Tech Division, carrying mail and intelligence along the edges of the Civilization Band. She is portrayed as upbeat yet quietly uncertain about what lies ahead, a combination that stirred surprise and nostalgia in Warfarin. She is also the Reconvener of Angelina from the original Arknights, hinted at during the Letter From a Messenger mission where she references memories that are not her own, and Angelina's silhouette appears among the Reconvener Nexus Files.
