Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Boltsmith's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.

PvE

Stat priority

  1. SPD - More turns means more hits.
  2. C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.
  3. C.DMG - How much a crit adds - stack it once C.RATE is near 100%.
  4. ATK% - The skills' damage scales from ATK.
  5. ACC - Optional - only the A1 places [Decrease SPD], so other stats come first.

Gear set combinations

  • Savage×4+Cruel×2
    Ignores DEF on every hit, plus ATK - the all-round damage build.

  • Lethal×4+Speed×2

    Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect

Blessings

  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
  • Heavencast - Strong on attackers that keep many buffs on themselves; weak for a champion that rarely carries buffs.
  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.

Relics

  • Chronocube - Once per battle it can give two turns in a row (then skips the next one) - best on a champion whose double turn sets up the team, such as an opening buff or a big hit.
  • Torch of Thralldom - Raises the wearer's stats for each ally of the same faction - strong on teams built around a single faction.
  • Hammer of Ending - A hard hit can add a guaranteed 1-turn [Stun]; works on ordinary enemies, not on bosses that cannot be stunned.
