Weapons
ATK%
Top-end stat line for a support slot; the Skill-triggered passive lines up with the shield cast, so protection and team buffs come online on the same button press.
Elemental Mastery
Higher raw stats than any 4-star option, but only worth slotting once the rest of the team already funds Energy Recharge for a reliable Burst cycle.
HP%
Cheapest team buff available: swap off right after the Skill to hand the next character 48% ATK for 10s. Refine to R5 and pair with Viridescent Venerer shred.
Energy Recharge
CRIT Rate hits generate particles that fund the Burst for the whole party, fixing energy on teams built around low Energy Recharge carries.
ATK%
ATK-heavy stat line with a plunge-damage buff, so it only earns its slot when a plunging carry is the one receiving the shield and buffs.
Energy Recharge
Ideal when the shield absorbs Electro: the passive grants the team 20% Electro DMG for 6s after triggering an Electro reaction.
HP%
Craftable sustain option — heals the party and refunds 18 Energy on Burst, letting the shield role double as a budget healer.
Artifacts
4-piece shreds 40% elemental resistance for 10s after a Swirl, and the 2-piece adds 15% Anemo DMG. The shield cast triggers Swirl, so shred and absorption overlap. Stack Elemental Mastery and ER.
