Excellent for UGE stacking if you want faster Ultimate rotations for Susceptibility uptime.

F2P-friendly max level setup. Catastrophe provides excellent UGE for faster Ultimate cycling. Mix with one Eternal Xiranite piece to start benefiting from the team buff.
Tip: Best F2P option for max level. Upgrade to full Eternal Xiranite 3pc when RNG permits.
Stat Priorities
Final Build Optimization
Combo Skill (Mr. Dolly's Shadow) to apply Corrosion → Wait for enemy to take damage or trigger reaction → Battle Skill (Shadow Burst) to consume Corrosion and heal shadows → Ultimate (Shadow Pact) for dual Susceptibility + team buff
Apply Corrosion with Combo Skill on debuff-free enemies. Consume with Battle Skill to heal Mr. Dolly shadows. Use Ultimate proactively for Susceptibility uptime. Keep shadows alive for maximum healing potential.
Corrosion ONLY applies to enemies WITHOUT existing debuffs - use Combo Skill first on clean targets
Battle Skill consumes Corrosion to heal Mr. Dolly shadows - timing matters for max healing
Mr. Dolly shadows can be healed and can die - keep them alive for maximum sustain
Dual Susceptibility (Physical 10% + Arts 10%) stacks with other debuffers for massive team damage
Ultimate applies Susceptibility to ALL enemies in range - great for AOE scenarios
Dreams of the Starry Beach debuff lasts 25s - longest in game for debuff uptime
Ardelia is COMPLETELY FREE - signature weapon from 10-day login!
P0 is completely viable - her core mechanics work without any promotions
Position shadows strategically - they can block enemy pathing
Team DMG buff from Eternal Xiranite triggers on Susceptibility application - coordinate with your DPS burst windows
