4PCWhen the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK, increases the wearer's ATK by 6% for every time the Follow-Up ATK deals DMG. This effect can stack up to 8 time(s) and lasts for 3 turn(s). This effect is removed the next time the wearer uses a Follow-Up ATK.

Best option for sub-DPS Ashveil with a team-wide 12% CRIT DMG buff after scoring a kill. ATK% on him can be great on him depending on whether his teammates include a large ATK buffer, but it can be competitive with DMG-focused sets.
