Equipment options · Main stats · Team examples

Your build plan

For The Herta, compare Into the Unreachable Veil while keeping the recommended CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG · Speed = ATK% · Ice DMG > ATK% setup fixed. A weapon or set change is easier to judge when you do not also change the team and skill timing.

Equipment options

16 options

Start with equipment you can actually obtain. These are alternative recommendations, not pieces to equip together. Refinement, set size and team restrictions change the result.

Main stats

Use the slot recommendations to make your first functional setup. When several stats are listed, choose the one that fills the gap in your current team rather than mixing every option.

BodyCRIT Rate > CRIT DMG
FeetSpeed = ATK%
Planar SphereIce DMG > ATK%
Link RopeATK% >= Energy Regen Rate
Substats

SPD (Until Desired Breakpoint) > CRIT RATE > CRIT DMG > ATK%

Skill priority

Follow the skill order below for your next upgrade. Compare one rank at a time, and keep the same team and enemy so equipment changes do not hide the result.

Skills priority: Talent >= Skill = Ultimate > Basic
Major Traces priority: Message From Beyond the Veil (A4) > Aloofly Honest (A2) > Starved Landscape of Vacua (A6)

Team examples

A lineup is a starting point: check that each teammate is available and that your team can repeat its resource cycle. Replacing a unit also changes buff timing and defensive coverage.

GACHABUILDS

Test your setup

Balance critical rate with critical damage. A large damage number is less useful when critical hits are inconsistent; evaluate the complete setup rather than a single item.

Choose one option, run the same encounter twice, and change one variable. Record whether the next rotation starts on time and whether the team survives without losing its damage window.
