Equipment options · Main stats · Team examples
For Norma, compare Chief Sidekick while keeping the recommended CRIT Rate% · Fire DMG% > PEN Ratio% > ATK% · Energy Regen = Impact% setup fixed. A weapon or set change is easier to judge when you do not also change the team and skill timing.

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.

Substats
CRIT RATE (until 100% in combat) > CRIT DMG = ATK% > Flat PEN > Flat 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.
Special Attack > Chain Attack > Assist > Basic Attack > Dodge
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.
Test your setup
Before adding damage, make sure the important ability is available on the next cycle. Test against the same enemy and watch the moment the team runs out of energy.
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.
