supportdebufferteam_bufferflex
Gilberta earns the top tier because she fits into nearly any composition, either as a dedicated Arts enabler or as a generic flex slot. She brings the strongest Arts Susceptibility numbers currently available, and her kit also spreads Nature Infliction for Corrosion plus Vulnerable stacks, so hybrid squads benefit from her too. Her talents add team healing and extra Ultimate generation on top of the debuffs.

This endgame setup turns Gilberta into a pure enabler rather than a damage source. Delivery Guaranteed supplies Ultimate Gain Efficiency while also granting the squad an Arts damage buff, and the Eternal Xiranite pieces stack further Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect so her gravity field returns faster and her Late Reply healing scales higher. Completing the set adds a flat teamwide damage increase whenever she lands an Amplify, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened effect, which her Ultimate does automatically. Redeemer Seal rounds out the kit with strong Intellect and Ultimate Gain rolls.

Explanation
Delivery Guaranteed is the pick because it bundles Ultimate Gain Efficiency with a teamwide Arts damage buff, which lines up exactly with her enabler role.
Eternal Xiranite is used since most of its pieces roll Ultimate Gain Efficiency and Intellect, speeding up her Ultimate and strengthening her healing talent.
The four-piece bonus hands the rest of the team extra damage whenever she applies Amplify, Protected, Susceptibility, or Weakened, and her Ultimate triggers it for free.
Redeemer Seal fills the second kit slot for its high Intellect and Ultimate Gain values.
Swapping to Stanza of Memorials is the option when a teamwide Attack buff or a cheaper investment is preferred.
Notes
- Ultimate Gain Efficiency is the headline statistic; Intellect follows because it raises her Late Reply healing.
- The set's teamwide damage bonus triggers by itself when her Ultimate applies Arts Susceptibility.
- Keep Stanza of Memorials on hand for hybrid or non-Arts squads where a flat Attack buff helps more.
early gamesupportearly_gamesupportf2pultimate_gainteam_buff
This early progression build keeps Gilberta useful before higher-tier gear is available. The Catastrophe set delivers a large Ultimate Gain Efficiency boost and immediately returns Skill Points when a fight begins, which pushes her Ultimate debuff out earlier in the rotation. Her glove and kit slots contribute Arts Intensity, still improving the potency of her Corrosion reactions and Lift effects. Stanza of Memorials covers the weapon slot and gives the squad an Attack buff on Ultimate cast, which fits teams where she is the lone Nature operator.

1ultimate_gain_efficiency2arts_intensity
Explanation
Stanza of Memorials is chosen because it is reachable early and hands the whole team an Attack buff when she casts her Ultimate.
Catastrophe is taken for its Ultimate Gain Efficiency set bonus plus the free Skill Point refund at the start of combat, which gets her Ultimate out sooner.
The gloves and kit slots lean on Arts Intensity, which still raises the strength of her Corrosion reactions and Lift damage.
Aburrey Flashlight covers the off-piece slot thanks to its Intellect and Ultimate Gain stats.
Notes
- Treat this as a stopgap until the endgame set becomes farmable.
- Ultimate Gain Efficiency stays the most important statistic at this stage too.
- Best suited to squads where Gilberta is the only Nature unit, so the weapon buff is not wasted.
Build Insights
Gilberta occupies the support slot and operates from the back, amplifying the main DPS from a distance rather than trading hits. Her usual pattern is to pull enemies into a cluster with the Battle Skill, detonate it for Nature Infliction, then wait for an Arts Reaction so her Combo Skill becomes available and can Lift targets while adding Vulnerability stacks. The Ultimate anchors the kit: it drops a slowing anomaly field that applies the largest Arts Susceptibility debuff in the game, multiplying whatever the Arts or hybrid teammate does inside it. Because both her Infliction and her debuffs are self-contained, she slots into almost any squad as a flex pick, but she produces the most value next to carries that can dump burst damage during the Susceptibility window.
Core Mechanics
- Nature Infliction comes from both her Battle Skill and Ultimate, which enables Corrosion and opens reaction windows for the rest of the squad.
- Her Ultimate drops an Anomalous Gravity Field that slows everything inside and applies Arts Susceptibility, with the value growing for each Vulnerability stack already on the target.
- Targets that get Lifted inside the gravity field stay airborne for the field's full duration, extending the follow-up damage window.
- Her Combo Skill only becomes usable after an Arts Reaction lands on an enemy, which makes her dependent on a reaction partner.
- Messenger's Song passively feeds Ultimate Gain Efficiency to allied guards, casters, and supporters, accelerating the whole team's cycles.
Scaling
- Investment into Ultimate Gain Efficiency pays off the most, since it directly shortens the gap between her Susceptibility applications.
- Her own damage stays low at every stage, so her Battle Skill and Combo Skill can sit at minimal investment without hurting her support output.
- Intellect scales directly into her Late Reply healing, so attribute investment converts into team survivability.
- She is effective from early game onward, but the size of her debuff multipliers is what makes her shine late.
Character Notes
Gilberta is a six-star Nature Supporter who functions as a long-range enabler instead of a damage dealer. She gathers enemies together, spreads Nature Infliction for Corrosion, and Lifts targets once an Arts Reaction has occurred. Her Ultimate is the centrepiece: it plants a slowing anomaly field that applies the game's strongest Arts Susceptibility effect, scaling up with each Vulnerability stack the target carries. On top of the debuffs she heals through Late Reply and accelerates ally Ultimate generation with Messenger's Song, making her comfortable in almost any lineup.
Playstyle
- Open with the Battle Skill to drag enemies into a tight cluster, then let the gravity well implode for Nature Infliction.
- Wait for an Arts Reaction before using the Combo Skill, since that trigger is what makes it available for the Lift and Vulnerability stacks.
- Hold the Ultimate for the main DPS burst window so the Arts Susceptibility field overlaps with their biggest hits.
- Keep her behind the front line because she has no defensive tools and depends on teammates to absorb pressure.
Strengths
- Applies the highest Arts Susceptibility in the game, multiplying every Arts teammate's damage.
- Spreads Nature Infliction and Vulnerable stacks, so both Arts and hybrid squads gain from her presence.
- Provides team healing and Ultimate Gain Efficiency through her talents without any extra setup.
- Flexible enough to slot into almost any composition as a general support pick.
Weaknesses
- Personal damage is negligible, so she relies on teammates to convert her debuffs into kills.
- Her Susceptibility uptime depends on Ultimate Gain Efficiency investment, which can be expensive to reach.
- No self-sustain or defensive tools, so bad positioning is punished quickly.
- The Combo Skill is locked behind an Arts Reaction firing, which requires a suitable reaction partner.
Team Guide
elementalcryo_teamburst_team
A Cryo composition where Gilberta acts as the enabler rather than a damage dealer. By vacuuming enemies into a tight cluster she patches Yvonne's limited AoE coverage, and her Nature Infliction supplies the trigger Yvonne needs to land Solidification with her Battle Skill and activate her personal buffs. Alesh keeps SP flowing and Xaihi layers Cryo plus DMG Amp support on top of the main carry.
Explanation
Gilberta's crowd control directly compensates for Yvonne's weak multi-target coverage.
Her Nature Infliction is the condition that lets Yvonne trigger Solidification and her buffs.
Alesh generates SP while Xaihi provides Cryo support and damage amplification to the main DPS.
Strengths
- Very high burst ceiling once Solidification and Corrosion windows are chained correctly.
- Support layers stack multiple Amp and Susceptibility effects on a single carry.
Weaknesses
- Heavily timing-dependent; buff windows are conditional and easy to mistime.
- Gilberta's wind-up animations must be anticipated or reactions will land on the wrong instance.
Rotation
- 1Start Yvonne's basic attacks and, partway through, cast Gilberta's Battle Skill so it drags enemies inward while it channels its implosion.
- 2While Gilberta's skill is still channeling, cast Xaihi's Battle Skill just before Yvonne lands her final strike.
- 3After the implosion resolves, use Yvonne's Battle Skill to Solidify the gathered enemies and perform another final strike while Xaihi's amp is active.
- 4Follow up with Gilberta's and Yvonne's Combo Skills, applying Lift and refreshing Solidify on the pulled group.
- 5Cast Xaihi's Ultimate to grant Nature and Cryo Amp to the whole team, then cast Yvonne's Ultimate.
- 6While Yvonne's Ultimate is running, hold her attack and weave in Alesh's Ultimate for Cryo Infliction, then Gilberta's Ultimate for Nature Infliction that triggers Corrosion and makes enemies Arts Susceptible.
- 7Continue attacking until the Ultimate ends, then finish the loop with Alesh's Combo Skill for SP recovery and Xaihi's Combo Skill.
Open with Yvonne attacks plus Gilberta's pull, add Xaihi's skill before the final strike, then stack Solidification, Lift, Ultimates and Inflictions before closing with SP recovery.
elementalelectric_teamburst_team
Gilberta plugs into an Electric lineup as the debuffer, contributing Arts Susceptibility and unlocking Corrosion, a reaction the team otherwise could not reach. Combined with Perlica's Electrification, enemies end up eating more Arts damage while their resistances are reduced, and Avywenna is free to spend every Thunderlance she has under ally buffs.
Explanation
Adding Corrosion gives the Electric core a damage window it would not have on its own.
Electrification paired with Corrosion stacks Arts DMG Taken while lowering enemy resistances.
Arclight supplies SP so Avywenna can keep cycling Thunderlances, and the whole plan funnels into her damage.
Strengths
- Dual reaction coverage lets the team amplify damage far beyond a plain Electric setup.
- Strong single-target burst once multiple Thunderlances are thrown into a debuffed target.
Weaknesses
- Requires careful ordering of Inflictions so Corrosion does not eat the Electric stack Avywenna needs.
- Gilberta's Battle Skill has a delay, making the reaction timing punishing if rushed.
Rotation
- 1Place Perlica ahead of Avywenna in team order and open with Perlica's Battle Skill to apply Electric Infliction.
- 2Perform a final strike with Avywenna, then trigger Perlica's and Avywenna's Combo Skills, followed by Arclight's and Gilberta's.
- 3Cast Arclight's and Gilberta's Battle Skills, then trigger Arclight's Combo Skill while waiting for Gilberta's delayed Nature Infliction.
- 4Wait until Corrosion actually triggers before applying Electric again, then recast Perlica's Battle Skill and do another Avywenna final strike.
- 5When Ultimates are ready, fire them in order: Gilberta's debuff first, Arclight's for Electrification, then Perlica's for damage, with Avywenna's used whenever possible.
- 6Trigger Avywenna's Combo Skill and then her Battle Skill to recall all Thunderlances, making sure the return path passes through enemies.
Apply Electrification, throw Thunderlances with Avywenna, then layer Arclight, Gilberta and Perlica skills so Corrosion lands before the next Electric Infliction, and cash out with Ultimates.
advancedburst_teamadvanced
Gilberta is a cornerstone of Hybrid teams built around Rossi. Her Combo Skill applies Vulnerable and her Battle Skill and Ultimate spread Arts Infliction, which gives Wulfgard the Infliction he needs to trigger Combustion and lets her own Combo Skill stack further Vulnerable. Once Rossi reaches a high Vulnerable count, Da Pan cashes it in with his Combo Skill to land Crush.
Explanation
Gilberta's Combo Skill hands out Vulnerable stacks that Rossi's kit heavily rewards.
Her grouped Nature Infliction is what allows Wulfgard to trigger Combustion.
The stacked Vulnerable count is converted into Crush by Da Pan's Combo Skill.
Strengths
- Multiple damage windows layered through Vulnerable, Combustion and Crush.
- Gilberta's pull keeps the whole enemy group inside Rossi's clump-clearing damage.
Weaknesses
- Needs clean sequencing; skipping steps costs Rossi her Vulnerable stacks.
- Depends on several skill casts lining up within a short window.
Rotation
- 1Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill to pull enemies together and apply Nature Infliction, then trigger Wulfgard's Combo Skill to apply Combustion.
- 2Trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill to apply Lift, securing the first stack of Vulnerable.
- 3Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill again or use Rossi's Ultimate to add another stack of Arts Infliction.
- 4Trigger Rossi's Combo Skill for her critical buffs, then cast her Battle Skill to apply Razor Clawmark.
- 5Trigger Da Pan's Combo Skill to apply Crush on the debuffed target.
- 6If Rossi's Ultimate was used earlier, cast Gilberta's Ultimate to apply her debuffs and spend the extra SP on Wulfgard's Battle Skill to trigger its Additional ATK.
Pull with Gilberta, trigger Combustion through Wulfgard, stack Vulnerable on Rossi, then convert it with Da Pan and finish with Gilberta's Ultimate debuffs.
alternativeburst_teamadvanced
An alternate Hybrid shell that keeps Gilberta and Rossi together but swaps the surrounding pieces, replacing Wulfgard and Da Pan with Perlica and Endministrator. Mi Fu can be substituted for Endministrator if the player prefers that carry instead. Gilberta's job stays the same: group enemies, apply Vulnerable through her Combo Skill, and spread Arts Infliction with her Battle Skill and Ultimate.
Explanation
The Gilberta plus Rossi pairing remains the damage engine regardless of the surrounding picks.
Perlica and Endministrator cover support and carry duty while keeping the debuff plan intact.
Mi Fu is listed as a valid stand-in for Endministrator in this variant.
Strengths
- Flexible roster options without losing the core Vulnerable-based damage plan.
- Gilberta's grouping benefits whichever carry is slotted in.
Weaknesses
- Less direct Crush and Combustion access than the Wulfgard and Da Pan version.
- Still reliant on precise Combo Skill sequencing from Gilberta and Rossi.
bestcryo_teamburst_team
Gilberta works as a dedicated support for Arcane, grouping enemies together with her pull and applying Nature Infliction so Arcane's Combo Skill activates and its bonus damage hits as many targets as possible. Xaihi supplies the Auxiliary Crystal plus Cryo and Nature Amp, while Tangtang adds Cryo Infliction and extra hits. Perlica can take Tangtang's slot in a variant of this Cryo-Nature setup.
Explanation
Gilberta's gathering effect is what makes Arcane's Combo Skill additional damage hit a wide group.
Her Nature Infliction satisfies the trigger requirement for that Combo Skill.
Xaihi amplifies both Cryo and Nature damage while Tangtang feeds extra Cryo Infliction; Perlica is a valid alternative to Tangtang.
Strengths
- Excellent AoE damage when enemies are clumped by Gilberta's pull.
- Multiple Infliction users keep reactions flowing between Cryo and Nature.
Weaknesses
- The ordering of Infliction sources is strict and easy to break.
- In single-target fights some of the AoE value from the pull is lost.
Rotation
- 1Cast Tangtang's Battle Skill for a stack of Cryo Infliction and immediately trigger her Combo Skill.
- 2Cast Xaihi's Battle Skill and her Ultimate, then use Arcane's Ultimate to apply Corrosion, and trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill.
- 3Perform two final strikes with Arcane to fire the Cluster Strikes of her Gloompurger Array and unlock Gloompurge Arcana.
- 4Trigger Xaihi's Combo Skill to apply another Cryo Infliction, then follow with Tangtang's Combo Skill.
- 5Trigger Arcane's Combo Skill to apply Nature and Cryo Susceptibility, then cast Tangtang's Battle Skill, optionally reversing the order when extra Infliction is available.
- 6Cast Gilberta's Ultimate to apply a level 3 Corrosion on the group.
- 7Cast Arcane's Battle Skill to end the Imprisonment from her Combo Skill and trigger the bonus damage.
- 8Use Arcane's Ultimate to unleash Gloompurge Arcana as the finisher.
Layer Cryo Infliction from Tangtang and Xaihi, use Arcane's Ultimate for Corrosion, then chain Combo Skills and Gilberta's Ultimate for level 3 Corrosion before finishing with Gloompurge Arcana.
alternativeelectric_teamburst_teamadvanced
A second Arcane shell where Gilberta supports a Heat and Electric core instead of a Cryo one. Camille brings the Firefang Vesperwings debuff, Heat Infliction and Link buffs, while Liino supplies team buffs and energy. Gilberta again handles grouping, Combo Skill damage and Ultimate debuffs so Arcane's Imprisonment and Gloompurge Arcana pay off.
Explanation
Camille's Link buff should be active before Arcane's Battle Skill or Ultimate so its damage is boosted.
Liino covers buffs and energy regeneration while Gilberta handles grouping and susceptibility debuffs.
Arcane's Combo Skill Imprisonment is cashed out by her Battle Skill for bonus damage.
Strengths
- Heat and Electric debuffs layer onto Arcane's own susceptibility effects.
- Gilberta's Ultimate adds a further debuff window before the final Gloompurge Arcana.
Weaknesses
- Camille's Link buff only applies once his animation finishes, so mistimed casts waste it.
- Requires precise consumption of Heat Infliction through Arcane's Battle Skill.
Rotation
- 1Cast Camille's Battle Skill to apply the Firefang Vesperwings debuff along with a stack of Heat Infliction.
- 2Cast Liino's Ultimate for her buffs, Arcane's Ultimate to apply Corrosion, then Camille's Ultimate to enable Hunter's Pursuit and a second Heat stack.
- 3Trigger Gilberta's and Liino's Combo Skills for damage and energy, then trigger Arcane's Combo Skill to Imprison enemies and apply her Susceptibility debuffs.
- 4Cast Camille's Battle Skill and Hunter's Pursuit, and perform an Arcane final strike during the animation to cover the first half of Gloompurge Arcana.
- 5Once Camille's Link buff is available, cast Arcane's Battle Skill to consume it, increasing its damage, ending the Combo Skill's Imprisonment and consuming the Heat Infliction.
- 6Trigger Liino's Combo Skill, then use Gilberta's Ultimate to apply her Susceptibility debuff.
- 7Trigger Camille's Combo Skill for a new Link buff and perform an Arcane final strike during the animation for the second half of Gloompurge Arcana.
- 8When Gloompurge Arcana is available and the Link buff is active, use Arcane's Ultimate to consume it for increased damage.
Open with Camille's debuff, stack buffs and Corrosion with Liino and Arcane Ultimates, Imprison with Arcane, then consume Link buffs and Heat Infliction before the second Gloompurge Arcana.
Team Insights
Gilberta is built as a support and enabler rather than a primary damage source. Her value comes from three things: pulling scattered enemies into a tight cluster, applying Nature Infliction, and layering Vulnerable and Arts Susceptibility debuffs. That package lets her slot into almost any reaction-based composition. She is used to round out Cryo and Electric cores by adding reactions those teams cannot trigger alone, and she is a natural partner for carries that reward debuffed or clumped targets, such as Yvonne, Avywenna, Rossi and Arcane.
Synergy Patterns
- Gilberta's grouping plus a single-target carry like Yvonne or Arcane turns focused damage into effective AoE.
- Her Nature Infliction enables reaction triggers such as Yvonne's Solidification and Arcane's Combo Skill.
- Her Combo Skill's Vulnerable stacks are cashed out by Rossi and Da Pan, converting debuffs into Crush.
- Pairing her with an Electric applier like Perlica opens Corrosion and stacks Arts DMG Taken on enemies.
Tips
- Almost all of Gilberta's abilities have wind-up time, so plan casts ahead to land reactions at the intended moment.
- In Electric setups, wait for Corrosion to trigger before applying another Electric Infliction, or Avywenna loses her Combo Skill condition.
- Place debuff appliers before the damage dealer in team order so buffs and Inflictions are active when the carry fires.
- In AoE content, let Gilberta pull first; in single-target fights you can substitute another Battle Skill for extra damage.

Gilberta is a Rhodes Island Operator currently seconded to Endfield Industries, where she works as a Messenger in the Specialist Tech Division. Her duties involve carrying mail and intelligence along the borders of the Civilization Band. She comes across as cheerful, carrying both anxiety and optimism about what lies ahead, a mix that reportedly left Warfarin both surprised and nostalgic. She is the Reconvener of the original Arknights Angelina, a link hinted at by memories that do not belong to her and reinforced by Angelina's silhouette appearing in the Reconvener Nexus Files.
