6★DPSNatureArts Unit

Nature Striker who fights from the air, converting the Nature Infliction her team applies into Signs, then into Hunting Arrows that force empowered Nature Bursts.

Build Focus

Agility, generic damage, Arts Intensity, and Ultimate Gain Efficiency in single-target fights

Skill Priority

Battle Skill > Ultimate > Combo Skill > Normal Attack

Playstyle

Leap into a Hovering state with Piercing Arrows of the Woods, spend Aerial Basic Attacks on targets carrying Nature Infliction to bank Signs, cast Rampant Thorns at maximum Signs to convert them into Hunting Arrows, then spend those Arrows on Power Shots that force empowered Nature Bursts. Call of Ice Mountain resets the Hovering window and reloads Arrows.

Quick Reference Summary

Endgame

Move onto Deep Rampart and pick up Suffering's End from the Protocol Pass.

Max Level

Level the Battle Skill first, then tune the fourth gear piece to single or multi target.

Final Build Optimization

Quick Reference

Typhoeus Build FAQ

Which Typhoeus skill should I level first?
Piercing Arrows of the Woods, her Battle Skill. Around 73 percent of her damage is Nature Bursts on a static multiplier, so most skill levels barely move her output. The Battle Skill is the exception, because the bonus multiplier her empowered bursts receive scales with its level.
Which Typhoeus gear set should I use?
Deep Rampart. In single-target fights pair Bonekrusha Poncho T1 with Deep Rampart Gauntlets and two Deep Rampart Comms for the Ultimate Gain; in multi-target run Deep Rampart Armor, Gauntlets and Comms with a Qingbo Bamboo Cutter. AIC Fieldwork is the placeholder while you farm.
Does Typhoeus need a specific teammate?
She needs Nature Infliction on the target. Each aerial attack that consumes a stack gives her a Sign and Ultimate energy, and the whole loop runs on reaching maximum Signs. Arcane, Gilberta, Fluorite and Antal all apply free stacks.
