⚡ Quick Build Formula
- Fully awaken your hero first (unlocks passives and enhanced set effects)
- Use 3-piece Ruinsbreaker as core (DEF Ignore for almost everyone)
- Target ~80% Crit Rate and ~150% Crit Damage
- Add 2-piece element set matching your hero's ailment
- Team: one hero applies ailment, next detonates it
📊 Universal Stat Priorities
Crit Rate ~80%
Your first target. Below 80% you lose too much damage consistency. Prioritize on chest and legs.
Crit Damage ~150%
Once crit rate is capped, stack crit damage. Primary damage multiplier for all builds.
Substat Priority
Additional Power > ATK Power Up > DEF Ignore. Reforge gear to roll these in order.

🔥 Element-Specific Build Logic
Venom / Poison (Johnny + Charlotte)
- Johnny — Primary Venom DPS, maintains Poison on field. 2-piece Venomfog Shade amplifies Poison damage.
- Charlotte — Needs Johnny to maintain Poison to reach burst ceiling. The two are designed for each other.
Blaze / Burn (Aria + Kalien + Kalsion)
- Aria — Enabler. Applies both Burn AND Airborne simultaneously. Best setup hero for Reina and Kalsion. Uses 3-piece Blazing Flame.
- Kalien — Rapidly stacks Burn through fox clones. Fox Grab and Finale deliver burst + Stun.
- Kalsion — Heavy hitter. Weapon Blaze enhances damage, but needs Airborne and Burn enablers to peak.
Frost / Freeze (Othello + Cerese + Dana)
- Cerese — Best Frost applier. Multi-hit damage + strong control grouping. Weakness: large bosses (long animations, Ice Storm disadvantage).
- Othello — Frostbite DPS. Needs fast Frost stacking to trigger max damage window. Exclusive Karma compensates for low base crit passive.
- Dana — Flexible. Deals Frost off-field, uses familiar to牵制 enemies, provides team shield after perfect parry.
Bleed / Stun (Roxy + Theresia + Astria)
- Roxy — Fast Bleed stacking at all ranges, but needs Stun to maximize damage. Theresia and Astria are natural partners.
- Theresia — On-field DPS. Applies both Bleed and heavy Stun simultaneously.
- Astria — Trades mobility for damage. Rain-like arrows stack Stun and Break. Outputs while teammates control enemies. Crit rate is highest priority.
Gale / Airborne (Reina + Eileen)
- Reina — Single-target specialist. Long skill combo chains on airborne enemies. 2-piece Azure Gale directly amplifies Gale damage. Aria is best enabler.
- Eileen — Supports Airborne from offensive angle. Boosts team move speed and ATK. Works well as a fast switch character with solid crit. Most flexible gear (Ballad of Life or Ruinsbreaker).
Thunder / Shock (Ornette)
- Ornette — Powerful Thunderbolt hero that can lead most teams. Peaks in Shock teams. 2-piece Thunderrush is mandatory.
- When Sion and Tarte aren't available, Lute works as substitute partner (healing and ATK buff sustain Ornette's output).
🌟 Special Heroes
Lute
One of only two healers in the game (other is Tarte). Universal pick for almost any team. First awakening node boosts team ATK. Fits into Knockout and Stun teams. 2-piece Holy Arbiter provides healing output, Ruinsbreaker maintains personal damage.
Tarte
The other healer. Build is still in final testing. Value rises significantly in high-difficulty content where survival becomes the bottleneck.
🗡️ Exclusive Karma Acquisition
Exclusive Karma weapons (like Johnny's Wandering Blade or Cerese's Eternal Blizzard) require Fragments of Afterimage and Memory to obtain.
- Farming these materials is the main progression gate between functional builds and fully optimized builds
- Prioritize farming fragments for heroes you plan to main before chasing perfect rune substats
- Basic Karma can be purchased in the Exchange shop and is not hero-specific
- Use 7 identical basic Karma to ascend to max level (1 base + 6 replicas)
- World bosses can drop basic Karma (RNG), farmable daily

🤝 Team Building Principle
💡 Key Insight
Most DPS heroes need at least one specific condition to reach their damage ceiling:
- Reina and Kalsion need Airborne
- Othello needs Frost stacks
- Charlotte needs Poison on field
- Roxy needs Stun
Before finalizing a team, identify what your main DPS needs and ensure at least one teammate can reliably apply it.
