Final Build Optimization

Rotation

Battle Skill (Nature Infliction) → Ultimate (Black Hole grouping) → Combo Skill (Arts Susceptibility via Vulnerability) → Normal attacks while grouped

Timing

Use Ultimate when enemies are clustered for maximum Black Hole effectiveness. Apply Arts Susceptibility after Physical teammates apply Vulnerability stacks.

Quick Reference
Min-Max Tips
1.

Always pair Gilberta with Physical teammates who can apply Vulnerability - this enables her Arts Susceptibility via Combo Skill

2.

Black Hole grouping is her defining feature - use it to cluster mobs for AoE damage from your DPS

3.

Arts Susceptibility only applies when enemies have Vulnerability stacks - coordinate with Physical team members

4.

Ultimate Gain Efficiency is priority #1 - more Ultimates = more grouping = more team damage

5.

Nature Infliction from Battle Skill enables Corrosion for Hot Work set bonus synergy

6.

Position Black Holes carefully - they pull enemies together but have limited duration

7.

In hybrid teams, Gilberta enables both Physical (Vulnerability consumption) and Arts (Arts Susceptibility) damage simultaneously

8.

Combo Skill has a cooldown - time it for when enemies have maximum Vulnerability stacks for best Arts Susceptibility uptime
