## TL;DR - Key Points

* **Gilberta is BiS support** — 42% Arts Susceptibility + Corrosion trigger nets \~17% more damage with battle skill timing
* **MI Security + T50 YL UD% kit** — Standard build, \~11% higher than Redeemer UD% gloves after team buffs
* **Lupine Scarlet (signature)** — \~15% more DPS than B0 Glorious Memory, B5 GM reaches near-signature tier
* **Best team: Gilberta · Antal · Akekuri** — F2P weapons only \~4% behind with SoM, DU, Obj: EoL
* **F2P team: Perlica · Antal · Akekuri** — \~20% behind best team but still very capable
* **Rotation priority** — Stack 4 Arts inflictions, trigger big Corrosion/Electrification before Rossi’s burst window
* **Critfishing required** — Last 2 Ultimate hits assumed to always crit for calc accuracy

## Damage Calculation Scope

All burst damage calculations cover the following components:

| Component          | Description             |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Seething Blood** | Talent damage component |
| **Ultimate 1**     | Multihit portion        |
| **Ultimate 2**     | 250% multiplier hit     |
| **Ultimate 3**     | 750% multiplier hit     |

> **Important:** The last two Ultimate hits are assumed to always crit — critfishing (reset until crits land) is baked into the numbers for accuracy.

## Gear Sets

### Standard Build: MI Security + T50 YL UD% Kit

The best usual choice for Rossi nuke builds. After accounting for team buffs, this setup is around **11% higher** than MI Security + Redeemer UD% gloves.

**Configuration:**

| Slot   | Set                 | Kit                    |
| ------ | ------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Armor  | MI Security 4-piece | \-                     |
| Kit    | T50 Yinglung        | UD% (Ultimate Damage%) |
| Gloves | T50 Yinglung        | UD% (Ultimate Damage%) |

### High Ceiling Build: T50 YL + Redeemer UD% Gloves

Can be **1-4% higher** depending on team buffs, but requires even more critfishing to reach potential.

**Configuration:**

| Slot   | Set          | Stats     | Kit |
| ------ | ------------ | --------- | --- |
| Armor  | T50 Yinglung | Agi + Int | UD% |
| Kits   | T50 Yinglung | \-        | UD% |
| Gloves | Redeemer     | \-        | UD% |

## Weapons

### Weapon Comparison

| Weapon              | Refinement | DPS vs B0 GM | Notes                            |
| ------------------- | ---------- | ------------ | -------------------------------- |
| **Lupine Scarlet**  | R0         | +15%         | Signature weapon, best for burst |
| **Glorious Memory** | B0         | Baseline     | Solid option, Battle Pass        |
| **Glorious Memory** | B5         | \~+14%       | Near-signature tier performance  |

**Recommendations:**

* **Lupine Scarlet:** If you have the signature weapon, it’s her best option for burst windows
* **B0 Glorious Memory:** Solid baseline, widely accessible through Battle Pass
* **B5 Glorious Memory:** Reaches near-signature tier, excellent if you missed Lupine Scarlet

## Support Roster

### Gilberta: Best-in-Slot

**Provides:**

* 42% Arts Susceptibility
* Triggers Corrosion debuff

**Setup:** Run her on HW (High Wisdom) full AI build.

**Weapon Choice:**

| Weapon       | Priority | Notes                                                   |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Obj: AI (B5) | ★★★★★    | Almost same DMG% + 62 AI for Corrosion                  |
| Signature    | ★★★★☆    | Slightly worse than Obj: AI here                        |
| Stanza       | ★★★☆☆    | Use if no one else can (mandatory outside whale setups) |

> **Pro Tip:** Trigger Corrosion with her **battle skill**, not her ultimate. This lets the debuff fully ramp before Rossi’s burst window, netting approximately **17% more damage**.

### Antal: Amplifier

**Provides:**

* 22% Amp
* 14% Arts Susceptibility
* Enables easier Arts infliction stacking

**Setup:** Runs EX (Expertise) set.

**Weapon Options:** Detonation Unit, Obj: AI, or SoM (Stanza of Melodies).

### Akekuri: Link

**Provides:**

* 10% ATK
* Link (1.2× multiplier)
* Frontiers set bonus

**Best Weapon:** Thermite Cutter, but Obj: EoL (B5) is not far behind.

### Perlica: Debuffer

**Provides:**

* Electrification (\~29% Arts damage taken increase)

**Setup:** Run full AI, usually wielding SoM.

**Flex Options:** Can swap to Detonation Unit or Obj: AI when she handles Arts inflictions instead of buffering.

---

## Team Variants

### ★ Best Team: Gilberta · Antal · Akekuri

**Weapons:** SoM, DU, and TC (Thermite Cutter)

**Performance:** Current ceiling for Rossi nuke builds.

**F2P Comparison:** F2P weapons (Obj: AI + SoM + Obj: EoL) are only **\~4% behind** the signature weapon setup.

**Why It Works:**

| Support  | Contribution                                                             |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Gilberta | 42% Arts Susceptibility + Corrosion creates largest vulnerability window |
| Antal    | 22% Amp + 14% additional susceptibility + easier infliction stacking     |
| Akekuri  | Link (1.2×) multiplier scales with Rossi’s high base damage              |

---

### ★★ F2P Team: Perlica · Antal · Akekuri

**Weapons:** SoM, Obj: AI, Obj: EoL

**Performance:** Approximately **20% behind** the best team, but still very capable of clearing all content.

**Why It Works:**

| Support | Contribution                                                   |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Perlica | Electrification provides consistent Arts vulnerability (\~29%) |
| Antal   | Same 22% Amp + 14% susceptibility as premium team              |
| Akekuri | Same Link multiplier as premium team                           |

**Main Loss:** Missing Gilberta’s massive 42% susceptibility and Corrosion ramp.

---

### ★★★ Budget Team: Perlica · Antal · Gilberta (Flex)

**Weapons:** SoM, Obj: AI, TC

**Performance:** Flexible setup that can adapt to different fight mechanics.

**Use Case:** When Akekuri is needed elsewhere or for fights where Link is less valuable.

## DPS Comparison

| Team Composition                      | Relative DPS | Gap      | Context                                   |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Gilberta · Antal · Akekuri (BiS)**  | 100%         | \-       | Current ceiling, all signature/B5 weapons |
| **Gilberta · Antal · Akekuri (F2P)**  | 96%          | \-4%     | Obj: AI + SoM + Obj: EoL                  |
| **Perlica · Antal · Akekuri (F2P)**   | 80%          | \-20%    | Viable for all content                    |
| **Perlica · Antal · Gilberta (Flex)** | \~75-78%     | \-22-25% | Situational, depends on fight             |

**Context Notes:**

* **BiS Team:** Requires Lupine Scarlet + Gilberta signature/Obj: AI + Thermite Cutter
* **F2P Teams:** Use widely accessible 5★ weapons, still clear all content
* **Gilberta Tax:** The difference between Gilberta and Perlica teams is \~20%, showing her value
* **Weapon Investment:** B5 Glorious Memory closes most of the gap vs signature weapon

## Rotation Priority

The core goal is to stack **4 Arts inflictions** and trigger **big Corrosion** (or Electrification without Gilberta), while aligning all team and community buffs before Rossi’s burst window.

### With Gilberta

1. Stack Arts inflictions on target
2. Use Gilberta’s **battle skill** to proc Corrosion (NOT ultimate)
3. Wait for debuff to fully ramp
4. Execute Rossi’s burst rotation

**Why Battle Skill Over Ultimate:**

| Method       | Damage | Reason                        |
| ------------ | ------ | ----------------------------- |
| Battle Skill | 100%   | Debuff has time to fully ramp |
| Ultimate     | \~83%  | Instant proc, no ramp time    |

Using the battle skill nets approximately **17% more damage** compared to using her ultimate.

### Without Gilberta

1. Stack Arts inflictions on target
2. Trigger Electrification via Perlica
3. Align all buffs
4. Execute burst rotation

---

## Summary

Rossi remains one of the strongest burst DPS options in Arknights: Endfield. While her signature weapon and Gilberta support provide the highest ceiling, F2P alternatives are remarkably close in performance.

**Key Takeaways:**

* **MI Security + T50 YL UD%** is the reliable standard (\~11% better than Redeemer alternatives)
* **Gilberta’s battle skill timing** is critical for max damage (\~17% gain)
* **F2P team is only \~20% behind**: still clears all content
* **B5 Glorious Memory** reaches near-signature performance
* **Critfishing the last 2 ult hits** is mandatory for calc accuracy

**Investment Priority:**

1. Lock in MI Security 4-piece + T50 YL UD% kit
2. Get Gilberta if possible (biggest single upgrade)
3. Level Antal and Akekuri for Link/Amp
4. B5 Glorious Memory if no Lupine Scarlet
5. Perfect rotation execution (17% free damage)
