DPS Build

Weapons

1
Polar Star
Polar Star

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat plus stacking ATK and bonus Skill/Burst damage — the stance window keeps all four Ashen Nightstar stacks live almost permanently.

2
Hunter's Path
Hunter's Path

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate stat stick that converts Elemental Mastery into Charged Attack damage. Run the 2 NA + 1 CA combo, and it rewards EM-heavy Vaporize teams too.

3
Aqua Simulacra
Aqua Simulacra

CRIT DMG

Massive CRIT DMG plus a flat damage bonus while enemies stay within 8m — melee-range stance play keeps that condition active for the whole rotation.

4
Skyward Harp
Skyward Harp

CRIT Rate

CRIT DMG substat, another 20% CRIT DMG, and a free Electro-less physical proc. The fastest fix if your artifacts roll almost no CRIT Rate.

5
Thundering Pulse
Thundering Pulse

CRIT DMG

Stacks ATK and up to 40% Normal Attack DMG purely from landing normal attacks, so commit to the 5 NA + 1 CA line to keep all three stacks up.

6
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage

CRIT DMG

Premium 5★ stat line with a damage bonus that ramps off sustained on-field hits; easiest to keep maxed in long single-target fights with a steady aura for Vaporize.

7
The First Great Magic
The First Great Magic

CRIT DMG

ATK scales with same-element party members, so slot it into a mono-Hydro core. The extra movement speed also helps chase targets mid-combo.

8
The Viridescent Hunt
The Viridescent Hunt

CRIT Rate

4★ grouping tool: the cyclone pulls enemies into one spot so a single stance window hits the whole pack, and the CRIT Rate substat stays relevant at any investment.

9
King's Squire
King's SquireR5

ATK%

Budget Elemental Mastery source for Vaporize setups; usable early, but its low crit ceiling holds the build back once real artifacts arrive.

10
Amos' Bow
Amos' Bow

ATK%

ATK% substat with Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG that grows with arrow flight time — fire from range rather than hugging the target to keep the bonus.

11
The Stringless
The StringlessR5

Elemental Mastery

Cheap Elemental Mastery plus 24% Skill and Burst DMG — strongest if your rotation leans on burst damage instead of long normal attack chains.

12
Scion of the Blazing Sun
Scion of the Blazing Sun

CRIT Rate

High-end 5★ option whose passive rewards a steady hit cadence; works with either the 3 NA + 1 CA or 5 NA + 1 CA line, so it fits whatever combo your stamina allows.

13
Blackcliff Warbow
Blackcliff Warbow

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat with ATK stacks on kill — ideal for overworld clearing and multi-wave chambers where you reliably land the finishing blow.

14
Chain Breaker
Chain BreakerR5

ATK%

Situational freebie; its passive needs a specific party setup to pay off, so treat it as a placeholder until a crit bow drops.

15
Windblume Ode
Windblume OdeR5

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat and a party-wide ATK buff after Skill — event-only, but a fine filler in reaction teams.

16
Hamayumi
HamayumiR5

ATK%

Boosts Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG and doubles those bonuses at full energy — so stick to the Ranged Burst refund pattern instead of dumping energy.

17
Mouun's Moon
Mouun's Moon

ATK%

ATK% substat and Burst DMG scaled to your teammates' total energy cost — best in expensive burst comps that also support the Melee Burst plan.

18
Rust
RustR5

ATK%

ATK% with 40% Normal Attack DMG at R1 and a Charged Attack penalty, which the 5 NA + 1 CA combo barely notices. Cheapest high-damage pick.

Artifacts

4pc stacks up to 25% ATK and 15% Hydro DMG as Normal Attacks and Skill/Burst hits land — a full stance window keeps all three stacks alive.

4pc adds 30% Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG after hits connect, the most direct match for the default 3 NA + 1 CA rotation.

A flat 15% Hydro DMG from two pieces — the strongest pure 2pc bonus available, so run it whenever your best crit rolls sit on mixed sets.

Take 2pc only, for 20% Burst DMG in a burst-weighted variant. The 4pc party buff belongs on a support, not on the character dealing the damage.

4pc trades 15 energy for 50% Normal Attack DMG — the highest ceiling on this list, but it forces the Ranged Burst refund pattern to keep energy topped up.

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Skill duration targets — C0: 7s / 9s / 12s · C1: 9s / 11s / 14s

Melee Burst: only when a single rotation clears the fight — sustaining its uptime needs 170–190% Energy Recharge. Otherwise open every rotation with Ranged Burst to refund energy.

Skill combos (NA = Normal Attack, CA = Charged Attack):
• 2 NA + 1 CA — highest damage, drains stamina
• 3 NA + 1 CA — stamina neutral, default for most weapons
• 5 NA + 1 CA — pair with Rust or Thundering Pulse

The recommended combos trade a little damage for stamina neutrality.

DPSTartaglia is an on-field Hydro DPS/enabler. Pairs best with Xiangling in Vaporize: he can Vaporize his Burst while enabling consistent Vaporize for her.

Weapons (calc'd with Bennett, shorter rotation): Polar Star — dynamic stacking, pairs with Nymph's Dream (4). King's Squire — use a Charged Attack instead of Skill for double swirl. Hunter's Path — makes Elemental Mastery highly valuable, esp. in N2C/N1C. The Viridescent Hunt — passive groups enemies, boosting Riptide dmg; R5 nearly matches The First Great Magic. Blackcliff Warbow — assumed 1 stack; R5 matches Amos' Bow. Scion of the Blazing Sun — first CA gets no passive; R5 matches The Viridescent Hunt R1, so pick BP The Viridescent Hunt instead. Hamayumi — passive not doubled. Mouun's Moon — assumed 260 total Burst cost; R5 matches Scion of the Blazing Sun.

Artifacts: 2pc Hydro DMG + 2pc ATK% — only ~1-2 substats behind Heart of Depth (4); use if you have good pieces. Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4) — needs ~150% Energy Recharge to burst every rotation, so it lags; but beats Heart of Depth (4) in single-rotation (ignoring ER).
