HYPERBLOOM Build

Weapons

Dragon's Bane

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat is exactly the stat Hyperbloom scales on, and its passive boosts damage against Hydro or Pyro-affected foes — which describes nearly every core-setting target.

Moonpiercer

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat plus a leaf that hands out flat ATK to a teammate after any reaction, a small free buff for your driver. Craftable, so it is the easiest entry point.

Kitain Cross Spear

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat with Energy Recharge refund on Skill, letting you also fire Burst for extra Electro application without building ER on artifacts.

Artifacts

Flower of Paradise Lost

2pc gives +80 Elemental Mastery; 4pc grants up to +160% Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon DMG from stacking over 4s while cores keep detonating. Highest ceiling for this reaction.

Gilded Dreams

2pc +80 Elemental Mastery. The 4pc adds ATK per same-element teammate and 50 Elemental Mastery per different-element teammate to the whole party, rewarding a rainbow Hyperbloom core.

Elemental Mastery +80 set

Any two Elemental Mastery 2pc sets (Wanderer's Troupe, Gilded Dreams, Paradise Lost) combine for a flat +160 Elemental Mastery when your 4pc rolls are still weak — the fastest way to a working Hyperbloom trigger.

Elemental Mastery

Raiden in Hyperbloom teams typically casts Skill and swaps out immediately. Keep that Skill active at all times to trigger Hyperbloom reliably.

HYPERBLOOM
Built as a Hyperbloom trigger in Dendro teams — one of the best units in that role. Trades flexibility (versus Kuki Shinobu) for more particles, faster seed detonation, and a team Burst buff.

Artifacts
Two +80 Elemental Mastery 2-pc sets: with a second Electro unit, only ~1 substat roll behind Gilded Dreams 4-pc (3–4 behind without). Just run whichever has more Elemental Mastery rolls.

DPS
Damage and energy both come from the Burst, so keep the Skill active. The Resolve mechanic plus on-field time and heavy energy generation favors high-energy-cost off-field allies.

Weapons (ranked by personal damage)
Staff of the Scarlet Sands: skip Elemental Mastery — her other offensive stats outclass it.
Deathmatch: single-target assumption; at [R5] can beat Staff of Homa.
Skyward Spine: with the ATK SPD combo it edges past The Catch [R5].
Wavebreaker's Fin [R5]: on par with Deathmatch.
Lithic Spear: rated at 2 stacks; [R5] matches Deathmatch, but drops off below 2 stacks.
Favonius Lance: poor personal damage, yet outdoes most 4★ options when it batteries a high-damage ally such as Xiangling.

Sets
Tenacity of the Millelith (4): hurts personal damage, but team buffs can push it ahead.

Main stats
Sands and Goblet hinge on substats, external buffs, and weapon choice — an optimizer gives the real answer.
