Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Gerhard the Stone'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 [Stun], 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
  • Lifesteal×4+Cruel×2

Blessings

  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.
  • Life Harvest - A counter to revives: only useful against enemies that can come back.

How blessings work

Relics

  • Hammer of Ending - A hard hit can add a guaranteed 1-turn [Stun]; works on ordinary enemies, not on bosses that cannot be stunned.
  • Diabolical Dice - Can lengthen an enemy skill's cooldown before a single-target attack, and hits harder while enemy skills are cooling down.
  • Gaze of Damnation - Hits harder against enemies under [Fear] or [True Fear], so it needs a kit that places them.
