Arlan build FAQ
- What is the best Light Cone for Arlan?
- I Am As You Behold is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star Destruction Light Cone with 635 base ATK at level 80, and its passive acts on ATK. A Trail of Bygone Blood is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which relic set should Arlan use?
- Band of Sizzling Thunder. Its 2-piece bonus is: Increases Lightning DMG by 10%. Its 4-piece bonus is: When the wearer uses their Skill, increases the wearer's ATK by 20% for 1 turn(s).
- Which Planar Ornament should Arlan use?
- City of Converging Stars. Its 2-piece bonus is: When the wearer uses Follow-Up ATK, increases ATK by 24% for 2 turn(s). When an enemy target gets defeated, increases CRIT DMG for all allies by 12% in the current battle. This effect cannot stack. Planar Ornaments have no 4-piece bonus; the sphere and the rope are the whole set.
