Crusher: Princely Deterrence

smash

When the wielder performs a Final Strike on the enemy, the wielder gains ATK +{atk_up:0.0%} for {duration:0}s.
If the wielder is also the controlled operator, double the ATK increase gained and buff the Final Strike so that it deals Stagger +{poise_up:0.0%} to the enemy.

Build Notes

Catcher—endgame dps

Rank #3

This endgame setup treats Catcher as a personal damage dealer rather than a pure wall. Exemplar brings Attack plus the Suppression essence line, and the Aethertech set turns his constant Vulnerability applications into escalating Physical DMG. A Swordmancer TAC Gloves off-piece adds matching stats and more Physical DMG on top. Because his Battle Skill refunds SP and retaliates when the shield is struck, the whole package pays him back for standing directly in front of enemies and cycling his skills aggressively instead of hanging back.

Exemplar is the pick because his Battle Skill stacks its Suppression effect, capping out at a 40% Physical DMG bonus at Potential 0.

Aethertech is the core set here; the Vulnerability he spreads through his kit switches on its Physical DMG bonus and its extra 16% at four stacks.

Swordmancer TAC Gloves is slotted as the off-piece for matching attributes and a further bump to Physical DMG.

Amaranthine Tassel is a close second but needs Physical Susceptibility or Crush to use its Combative buffs, neither of which he can trigger; Sundered Prince performs well only if he stays the controlled operator for Crusher; OBJ Heavy Burden remains the budget fallback.

Aethertech's set bonus and Exemplar's Suppression effect both build off the same Battle Skill activity, so they reinforce one another during long engagements.
The build actually rewards getting hit: the retaliation triggered while his shield is up is what applies Vulnerability and starts the Physical DMG ramp.
Players with good parry timing on Rigid Interdiction will notice far more value than those who only fire it reactively.

Last Rite—endgame dps

Rank #2

An endgame Cryo DPS setup centered on Khravengger and the Tide Surge set. Khravengger supplies Skill and Cryo damage while reinforcing Strength and Attack, and Tide Surge's Arts DMG buff activates easily because Last Rite applies Cryo Infliction with a low-cost Battle Skill. Swordmancer Light Armor takes the off-slot for Ultimate Gain, letting her cast Vigil Services every second rotation when four Cryo Inflictions are consumed. Players at Potential 4, or in teams where the Combo Skill reliably hits four stacks, can swap the armor to Type 50 Yinglung Light Armor to trade the Ultimate energy for a higher damage ceiling. The setup functions both as a main carry and as a Cryo sub-DPS, though in the sub-DPS Yvonne pattern the Ultimate cadence slows to roughly every third rotation.

Khravengger is the default pick because its damage bonuses line up with her profile without extra conditions.

Tide Surge rewards Infliction application, which her Battle Skill delivers cheaply and often.

Swordmancer covers the Ultimate energy she otherwise cannot generate without consistent four-stack Combo Skills.

Type 50 Yinglung only becomes preferable once Potential 4's reduced Ultimate cost closes that energy gap.

Khravengger brings Skill DMG and Cryo DMG bonuses plus Strength and Attack, covering everything Last Rite scales with.
The Tide Surge set activates from her low-cost Cryo Infliction, so its Arts DMG buff keeps high uptime across a fight.
Swordmancer Light Armor fills the off-slot for Ultimate Gain, keeping Vigil Services available every other rotation at four-stack Combo Skill play.
At Potential 4, or in compositions that consistently reach four Cryo Inflictions, swap in Type 50 Yinglung Light Armor for more damage.
