Weapons
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG substat plus 12% Elemental Skill DMG per stack; casting Skill off cooldown holds 3 stacks, which then converts into a flat 12% Elemental DMG bonus.
CRIT Rate
33% CRIT Rate and 8% Elemental DMG per 4s in combat, up to 32%. The ramp rewards staying on-field for full rotations instead of quickswapping.
CRIT DMG
Enormous CRIT DMG substat with a passive that raises Normal and Charged Attack DMG, so it pays out best when she stays on-field through the entire rotation.
CRIT DMG
HP% and HP-scaled Charged Attack buffs. Only worth equipping if her multipliers scale off HP — on a pure ATK build the substat is dead weight.
CRIT Rate
CRIT Rate substat plus ATK, Charged Attack DMG and ATK SPD that stack whenever HP changes. Bring an HP-draining or healing teammate to hold 3 stacks reliably.
ATK%
33% ATK and +12% Elemental DMG make it a clean stat stick; the cloud projectile adds chip damage and light grouping, but its 30s cooldown keeps it a side benefit.
ATK%
ATK% substat and Shield Strength, plus an ATK buff that doubles while shielded. The natural pick in a Mono-Geo lineup running a shielder.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG plus 10% ATK SPD and up to 40% Normal Attack DMG after Skill — best when her damage comes from Normal Attacks rather than Charged or Burst.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG stat stick with a random 10s buff after Skill: 48% Elemental DMG is ideal, ATK is fine, Elemental Mastery is a dead roll. Expect variance.
CRIT Rate
Craftable. Normal Attack hits give +20% Elemental Skill and Burst DMG, Charged Attack hits give ATK — alternate attack types to keep both buffs running.
ATK%
ATK-focused option for when the five-star CRIT catalysts are already in use elsewhere; keeps damage respectable without demanding refinement investment.
ATK%
Free-to-play craftable with an ATK% substat and an Elemental DMG gain after casting Skill, which lines up neatly with a skill-into-Burst opener.
ATK%
Normal Attack hits buff Charged Attack DMG and vice versa — intersperse them to hold both buffs, which suits a charged-attack-heavy rotation.
Artifacts
2pc ATK plus 20% Geo DMG for 10s after Skill, boosted to 50% while shielded. The ceiling set for a shielded Geo DPS.
2pc gives 15% Geo DMG. The 4pc grants 35% DMG of the shard's element on Crystallize pickup — easiest to keep up in a Crystallize-heavy Geo team.
2pc DEF +30% with a stacking +6% DEF and +6% Geo DMG per stack. Only take it if her damage scales on DEF; stacks favour quickswap play.
2pc Energy Recharge with up to 75% Burst DMG scaled off ER. Best when Burst carries a large share of her damage and the 6s particle cooldown leaves her hungry.
2pc gives 15% Geo DMG. The 4pc grants 35% DMG of the shard's element on Crystallize pickup — easiest to keep up in a Crystallize-heavy Geo team.
35% DMG against Electro-affected enemies — dead weight unless an Electro teammate keeps the aura glued on permanently.
35% DMG against Pyro-affected enemies. Only worth a 4pc if a Pyro applier holds the aura through her whole damage window.

Husk of Opulent Dreams (4): on par with Archaic Petra (2) + 18% ATK (2-piece); in the Strongbox, a strong generalist option.
