Build Notes

Wulfgard—endgame dps

Rank #4

This build treats Wulfgard as a Combustion damage dealer whose real strength is amplifying the burn rather than hitting hard with raw attacks. Rational Farewell supplies the attack stat that his Combo Skill can activate on demand, and because that weapon's buff also improves with Potential investment it keeps scaling if you keep investing in him. The Hot Work set leans on Arts Intensity, which feeds the Combustion damage-over-time, and its Heat damage window triggers naturally whenever he applies Combustion, so his normal rotation keeps the bonus running. A Bonekrusha wristband fills the remaining slot because its attributes line up with his stat needs and it lifts Heat damage on every source. Because so much of the output arrives as damage over time, this is a sustained-damage setup rather than a burst one. If you swap to Clannibal you gain a different ceiling but must micromanage when to consume Combustion; Wedge and Long Road are the simpler fallbacks for players without the premium options.

The weapon is chosen because its Pursuit effect delivers a large attack increase that his Combo Skill can reliably switch on, and the buff grows further as his Potential level rises, with the 5-star copy obtainable through Arsenal Exchange.

The Hot Work set is taken for its Arts Intensity and Heat damage bonuses, the first of which matters because Combustion is a damage-over-time effect that scales off Arts Intensity; the set's Heat damage window after applying Combustion then amplifies both his skills and the burn.

Clannibal is a workable substitute but shifts the play pattern, since it wants him to consume his own Combustion while it is still ticking, which demands tighter timing and more attention.

Wedge serves as a simple stat option and Long Road is the budget pick when higher-rarity weapons are not yet available.

Rational Farewell pairs naturally with his Combo Skill, so its attack buff is almost always active during real fights.
The extra suit piece from Bonekrusha adds Heat damage that applies to both his skills and his Combustion ticks.
This variant leans into damage over time rather than burst, so it rewards sustained fights over quick clears.

Tangtang—endgame sub dps

Rank #4

This endgame setup pushes Tangtang's personal damage while keeping her support value intact. Brigand's Calling supplies the debuff that makes her a force multiplier, and the Bonekrusha set converts the Combo Skill she wants to open with into a damage boost for the Battle Skill that follows. LYNX Slab rounds out the pieces because its main-attribute scaling squeezes out slightly more value than a fully saturated Battle Skill DMG bonus. The result is a sub-DPS that applies Arts Susceptibility for the team while still hitting hard herself during the Waterspout window. Swap in Home Longing, Opus: The Living, or Long Road only if Brigand's Calling is unavailable and you accept the loss of team-wide amplification.

Brigand's Calling is the top pick because its Suppression effect boosts Tangtang's own damage while also marking enemies to take more Arts damage, lifting the entire team's output.

The Bonekrusha set reinforces her natural rotation — Combo Skill first to plant a Whirlpool, Battle Skill second to convert it into Waterspouts.

Home Longing, Opus: The Living, and Long Road are cheaper stand-ins that only improve her personal numbers; ignoring the team-wide damage gain from Brigand's Calling leaves a noticeable gap per rotation.

Bonekrusha rewards the order she already plays in: casting the Combo Skill first hands the following Battle Skill a large damage boost.
LYNX Slab replaces the second Bonekrusha core piece for its main-attribute scaling, which edges out the Battle Skill DMG bonus that Bonekrusha Mask T2 would otherwise add on top of an already saturated stat.
