QUICKBLOOM / HYPERBLOOM DPS Build

Weapons

1

Staff of the Scarlet Sands

CRIT Rate

Converts Elemental Mastery into ATK and CRIT Rate, directly boosting both Hyperbloom and Aggravate damage. EM stacking makes this the best-in-slot.

2

Disaster and Remorse

CRIT Rate

Provides a mix of ATK and Elemental Mastery after triggering reactions, supporting both Hyperbloom and Aggravate damage.

3

Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

CRIT Rate

High CRIT Rate and stacking ATK boost make it a strong generalist option, though it lacks EM for Hyperbloom.

4

Ballad of the Fjords

CRIT Rate

EM substat and passive that further boosts Elemental Mastery and ATK after reactions, ideal for Hyperbloom triggers.

5

Lumidouce Elegy

CRIT Rate

EM substat and passive that boosts ATK and Elemental Mastery after Skill use, directly increasing Hyperbloom damage.

6

Fractured Halo

CRIT DMG

ATK% substat with a passive that grants Elemental Mastery after reactions, balancing ATK and EM for mixed Aggravate and Hyperbloom damage.

7

Staff of Homa

CRIT DMG

Massive CRIT DMG and ATK from HP conversion, but lacks EM; best in teams where Aggravate damage is significant.

8

White TasselR5

CRIT Rate

Budget option with high CRIT Rate; useful for early-game Aggravate builds but offers no EM for Hyperbloom.

9

Deathmatch

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat and ATK boost from passive make it a reliable damage option, though it lacks EM for reaction scaling.

10

Symphonist of Scents

CRIT DMG

EM substat and passive that boosts Elemental Mastery further, maximizing Hyperbloom damage.

11

Kitain Cross Spear

Elemental Mastery

EM substat helps Hyperbloom, while the passive restores energy and boosts Skill DMG, easing burst uptime.

12

Missive WindspearR5

ATK%

ATK% substat and passive that grants ATK and Elemental Mastery after reactions, supporting both damage types.

13

Skyward Spine

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge substat solves burst uptime, and the passive's CRIT Rate and extra hits add damage, though EM is missing.

14

Favonius Lance

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge substat and particles from passive help maintain burst uptime, but it provides no direct damage stats for reactions.

Artifacts

Detailed weapon calcs: Aggravate | Quickbloom

Quickbloom/Hyperbloom DPS
Build a mix of talent, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom damage with a Hydro unit on the team.
Weapons
• Ballad of the Fjords [R5] outranks Disaster and Remorse.
• Deathmatch [R5] outranks Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
• Skyward Spine matches or beats White Tassel [R5] when its ATK Speed lands more Normal Attacks.
• Energy Recharge weapons are worth it in energy-starved teams lacking a Favonius weapon or a second Electro unit.
Artifacts
• Marechaussee Hunter (4): only alongside Furina, a Quickbloom variant needing teamwide healing (ideally Baizhu); similar output to Gilded Dreams (4).
Main Stats
Any mix of Elemental Mastery, Electro DMG Bonus, and Crit Rate/CRIT DMG works. Under heavy Hydro application the top combo is EM Sands, Electro DMG Goblet, EM Circlet — but values sit close, so let substats decide.

Aggravate DPS
The Burst swaps stance and deals Electro damage counted as Normal Attack damage, so Burst DMG buffs do nothing. This build chases personal damage with Dendro and Electro allies.
Weapons
• Skyward Spine may match or beat White Tassel [R5] when ATK Speed lands more Normal Attacks.
• Ballad of the Fjords [R5] sits slightly below Disaster and Remorse.
• Deathmatch [R5] beats Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
• Energy Recharge weapons are wanted in energy-starved teams without a Favonius weapon or a second Electro unit.
Artifacts
• Thundering Fury (4): best under optimal conditions. Extra Skill casts fix energy when he is the sole Electro unit, but off-cooldown casts can miss Endseer windows — bring a shielder.
• Gilded Dreams (4): beats Gladiator's Finale (4) on Staff of the Scarlet Sands and White Tassel.
• Thundersoother (4): beats Gladiator's Finale (4) at 100% uptime, though that is infeasible on most teams.
Main Stats
• Sands: Elemental Mastery vs ATK% hinges on weapon and team — test both or run an optimizer.
• Circlet: with Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Elemental Mastery is a valid main stat.
