Tolling Rally doesn't apply to Prune herself.
The buff caps out at 4,000 ATK—a threshold rarely reachable unless she's fielded in a Hexerei team.

BUFF SUPPORT
Relies on Swirl: triggering it converts Banehunter Oathhammer (Elemental Skill) into the Swirled element. With A4 unlocked, converted Skill or Elemental Burst hits activate Tolling Rally, granting team DMG buffs scaled off ATK.
While a Hexerei ally under Tolling Rally triggers a reaction, Prune gains ATK%; if that reaction is Swirl, the triggering ally gains ATK% too.
[C1] Restores 2 Energy per 1.8s per converted Oathhammer hit; total Energy depends on Swirl frequency during the Burst window.
[C6] Extends Burst duration by 4s.
WEAPONS
Favonius Codex: Skip it when Energy is comfortable — a higher Base ATK weapon yields a stronger buff.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: Low Base ATK weakens her buff, but the 48% ATK boost to the DPS can be worth it depending on the team.
ARTIFACTS
Viridescent Venerer (4) and Celestial Gift (4): Interchangeable — use whichever the team isn't already holding.

Full team guide

Hexerei Team

Prune excels in Hexerei teams where multiple Hexerei characters amplify each other's ATK-based buffs. Varka and Venti are premier DPS options that can trigger Swirl themselves, increasing Prune's ATK and her buff potency.

Stack multiple ATK buffers to exponentially increase Prune's DMG buff. Hexerei Resonance further boosts team damage.

Team composition: Prune (Anemo Buffer / Sub-DPS), Varka (Anemo Main DPS), Venti (Anemo Sub-DPS / Support), Klee (Pyro Sub-DPS)

Prune Skills

Passive Talents

Verdict and Punishment

Ascension Phase 1

During the Elemental Burst The Bell Tolls! The Hunt Is On!, after the Witchlure Bell in Hunter-Seeker mode deals DMG to an opponent, if this DMG triggers Swirl or Stellar Swirl in an opponent, it will also summon a Banehunter Oathhammer that will deal 150% of Prune's ATK as DMG to them, with the DMG Type matching the Elemental Conversion from the Swirl or Stellar Swirl. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.

Tolling Synchronicity

Ascension Phase 4

After Prune hits an opponent with the Banehunter Oathhammer that has undergone Elemental Conversion, other nearby party members will gain the Tolling Rally effect for 5s: When Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts deal DMG to opponents, that attack's DMG will be increased based on the portion of Prune's ATK in excess of 2,000 when they become affected by the Tolling Rally effect. Every excess ATK point increases that instance of DMG by 0.025%, up to a total of 50% max.

Tinker-Tink, Clank, and Bang!

The Hunt Is On!, when the Witchlure Bell is in Hunter-Seeker mode, Prune gains the Hunt the Witch effect: Prune's ATK increases by 10%, and when the Witchlure Bell and the Banehunter Oathhammer that has undergone Elemental Conversion hits an opponent, it further increases her ATK by 5%. Prune's ATK can be increased by up to 40% in this way.
The original instance of the above effect will be removed if "The Bell Tolls! The Hunt Is On!" is used again during this time.

Prune's outfit. The somber tones of this outfit, scrupulously chosen to project an air of poise that belies her tender age, are complemented by metallic flourishes that declare her intent to "show no mercy" toward all "witches"... or at least, that's how she sees it.
