Progression Stages

Early Game Lv.1-20

💡 Recommendation

Skip essences entirely - save materials for gear sets

Essence farming requires Authority 40+. Early game gear progression is fast. Invest in Basic/Miner gear and core skills instead.

Max Optimization

⚡ Rotation & Timing

🔄 Ideal Rotation

Battle Skill (apply Breach) → Combo Skill (group enemies) → use skills to accelerate team SP → repeat Breach application

🎯 Positioning

Use Pull (Combo Skill) to group enemies together. Time Breach application before team burst windows.

👥 Team Composition

Optimal:

  • • Pogranichnik (Physical Support - Breach + Grouping + SP Economy)
  • • Da Pan (Main Physical DPS - benefits from grouped enemies)
  • • Lifeng (Physical Support - secondary debuffer)
  • • Akekuri (SP/Rotation Utility - enhances your SP economy)

Alternative:

  • • Pogranichnik
  • • Chen Qianyu (Physical Burst DPS)
  • • Lifeng or Pogranichnik (dual support composition)
  • • Endministrator (Physical DPS - note anti-synergy with resource contention)

💡 Min-Max Tips (20)

• UGE (Ultimate Gain Efficiency) is your #1 stat - 125 SP/cycle identity is irreplaceable

• Physical DMG scales your Breach damage - invest here, not personal ATK

• HP% increases survivability for support role - don't neglect defense

• You're listed under FOUR skill types - build flexibility is your strength

• Pursuit on-kill works best for farming teams with fast mob clear

• Suppression for sustained field time - boss fight or long duration content

• Combative for Physical debuff follow-up - teams with constant Vulnerability uptime

• Fracture for defense shred - hard content where enemies have high physical resistance

• Never Rest's on-kill ATK buff is nice but inconsistent - don't rely on it

• White Night Nova listed as alternative but is Cryo-focused - use OBJ Edge of Lightness instead

⚠️ Common Mistakes

✗ Treating Pogranichnik as DPS - he's the Physical team's enabler, not the main damage dealer

✗ Neglecting UGE for personal damage stats - 125 SP/cycle is your core identity

✗ Using with Endministrator - resource contention makes both suboptimal together

✗ Over-investing in early game essences - save for 5-star Flawless at Authority 40+

✗ Forgetting Pull (Combo Skill) - grouped enemies = exponentially more team damage

✗ Etching only one build - lose flexibility to adapt to different team compositions

✗ Using White Night Nova (Cryo) - doesn't match Physical team element

✗ Ignoring HP% - supports need survivability to maintain SP economy

✗ Farming wrong dungeon - only Axe Armorbeast has complete Physical skill coverage

✗ Chasing personal damage over team enablement - Breach is more valuable than your ATK

🎯 Essence Farming Priorities

📍 Dungeon Priority

  • 1. 1. Axe Armorbeast (Best) - Pursuit + Suppression + Crusher + Combative + Physical DMG + Crit + UGE
  • 2. 2. Bonekrusher Ballista - Pursuit + Suppression + Crushing + Brutality
  • 3. 3. Bonekrusher Arsonist - Suppression + Combative + Physical DMG + Fracture + HP

📊 Stats to Target

  • ✓ Ultimate Gain Efficiency (UGE) - Core stat, max this first
  • ✓ Physical DMG - Amplifies Breach damage
  • ✓ Pursuit (primary skill) - On-kill buff for farming
  • ✓ Suppression (alternative) - Sustained Physical DMG stacking
  • ✓ Combative (alternative) - Physical debuff follow-up damage
  • ✓ Fracture (alternative) - Defense shred support

❌ Skip These

  • • Pure element stats (Heat/Electric/Cryo/Nature DMG) - Physical only
  • • Treatment Efficiency - you're not a healer
  • • Most Arts stats (Arts Intensity, Arts DMG) - Physical doesn't scale from these
