Weapons

1
Disaster and Remorse
Disaster and Remorse

CRIT Rate

Top ceiling here: CRIT DMG substat plus a ramping damage buff that fills out across the long N1>CA loop rather than peaking early.

2
Fractured Halo
Fractured Halo

CRIT DMG

CRIT-oriented passive that rewards staying on-field, so its buff window covers all three attack cycles before you re-Skill.

3
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat and stacking ATK on hit; continuous N1>CA chains keep the stacks maxed for the whole rotation.

4
Staff of Homa
Staff of Homa

CRIT DMG

Huge CRIT DMG and an ATK bonus scaled off the wielder's HP, so it only pays off on HP-stacked builds or with HP-buffing teammates.

5
Symphonist of Scents
Symphonist of Scents

CRIT DMG

Reaction-triggered ATK and Elemental Mastery buffs, which suits Melt/Vaporize teams where the EM is not wasted.

6
Crimson Moon's Semblance
Crimson Moon's Semblance

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate plus a DMG bonus that scales with Bond of Life, so pair it with a healer that lets the Bond tick down between combos.

7
Lumidouce Elegy
Lumidouce Elegy

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate main stat with an ATK buff tied to Skill/Burst usage — the loop already casts Skill once per cycle, so uptime is easy.

8
Calamity Queller
Calamity Queller

ATK%

ATK% substat, a flat Elemental DMG bonus, and Consummation ATK stacks that build while you are attacking on-field.

9
Bloodsoaked Ruins
Bloodsoaked Ruins

CRIT Rate

High base ATK with hit-count scaling damage, giving a dependable stat stick if you lack a CRIT polearm.

10
Staff of the Scarlet Sands
Staff of the Scarlet Sands

CRIT Rate

Converts Elemental Mastery into ATK, making it a strong pick specifically in Melt teams that already want EM.

11
Skyward Spine
Skyward Spine

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge lets you drop ER substats for CRIT, and the CRIT Rate plus attack-speed bonus tightens the N1>CA inputs.

12
Deathmatch
Deathmatch

CRIT Rate

Cheap CRIT Rate from the shop; gives ATK against two or more enemies but useless DEF in single-target boss fights.

13
Vortex Vanquisher
Vortex Vanquisher

ATK%

ATK% with an on-field ATK stack that maxes after a few seconds, plus shield strength for teams running a shielder.

14
Sacrificer's Staff
Sacrificer's Staff

CRIT Rate

Energy Recharge plus a chance to refresh Skill, so extra casts feed particles and reapply skill damage inside the loop.

15
Blackcliff Pole
Blackcliff Pole

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG with ATK stacks on kills — excellent in multi-wave Abyss floors, nearly dead weight against a lone boss.

16
Engulfing Lightning
Engulfing Lightning

Energy Recharge

Turns Energy Recharge into ATK and raises Burst DMG, ideal if your team already demands high ER for burst uptime.

17
Missive Windspear
Missive WindspearR5

ATK%

Free event spear granting ATK and Elemental Mastery after a reaction, which lines up nicely with Melt setups.

18
Favonius Lance
Favonius Lance

Energy Recharge

Support-leaning pick: generates particles for the team but contributes almost no personal CRIT or damage scaling.

19
White Tassel
White TasselR5

CRIT Rate

Three-star CRIT Rate stat stick; cheapest way to correct a lopsided CRIT ratio before better polearms drop.

20
Prospector's Shovel
Prospector's Shovel

ATK%

Budget placeholder with an ATK% line and a small on-hit bonus; swap out as soon as a CRIT polearm is available.

21
Tamayuratei no Ohanashi
Tamayuratei no OhanashiR5

Energy Recharge

ATK stacks granted on Skill use — the combo already casts Skill once every cycle, so the buff never falls off.

22
Crescent Pike
Crescent PikeR5

Physical DMG Bonus

Physical DMG passive does nothing for an elemental rotation; only consider it for a dedicated physical N1/CA variant.

23
Prototype Starglitter
Prototype StarglitterR5

Energy Recharge

Craftable: ATK% substat and energy refunded after Skill, smoothing the rotation when ER would otherwise be tight.

Artifacts

Four-piece that stacks ATK and damage as hits land; uninterrupted on-field attacking satisfies the condition almost instantly.

2-piece Cryo DMG, and the 4-piece adds up to 40% CRIT Rate against Cryo-affected or frozen foes, freeing substats for CRIT DMG.

+50% Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG for 10s after Skill, matching the combo exactly — but it drains 15 energy, so skip it if the Burst matters.

+15% ATK, then +40% Normal/Charged/Plunge DMG after a Charged Attack lands — the opening N1>CA turns the buff on immediately.

Generic 2-piece Cryo DMG +15%; use two of these when no full 4-piece is ready.

4-piece grants CRIT Rate stacks whenever HP changes; needs a healer or HP-draining support to stay maxed, then it is the biggest CRIT source available.

Default

Lohen's outfit style. A knight's armor is significantly heavier than the clothes he wore as an adventurer. But for Lohen, only the weight of said equipment and the way others view him have changed, while his desire to defeat his foes and his inexorable obsession remain.
