| NO.1 Bennett


> Why Build Bennett

· S-tier support: Burst = teamwide ATK buff + steady healing; plugs into almost any ATK-scaling carry

· Low investment: Buff scales with Base ATK (level + weapon white ATK) → artifact-light, fast to optimize

· Rotation fixer: Skill generates particles reliably; with ~200%+ ER he doubles as a battery

· Flexible role: Pure support → hybrid Sub-DPS/Support (Burst adds meaningful damage)


> Quick Build

· Artifacts: 4-pc Noblesse Oblige

· Weapons: Skyward Blade/Favonius Sword (prioritize energy recharge)

· Stats: ER ≥ ~200% > HP/def as needed

· Constellation Note: C6 Pyro infusion for melee (sword/claymore/polearm) can disrupt some reactions—unlock selectively

 

> Versus Xilonen

· Role: Both are top buffer-healers

· Difference: Xilonen’s aura follows the active character; Bennett’s boost is anchored to his field

· Takeaway: In very mobile fights aura is comfier; otherwise Bennett’s radius & uptime cover key damage windows just fine

 

He buffs, heals, and batteries with near-universal synergy—Bennett remains a no-regret build.

 


| NO.2 Xingqiu


> Why Build Xingqiu

· S-tier off-field Hydro: Burst provides reliable, multi-hit Hydro for Vape/Electro-Charged/Bloom/Freeze

· Comfort & safety: Built-in damage reduction + interruption resistance with a bit of healing

· Rotation proof: Solid particle generation; with ~220% ER (±) plus Sacrificial/Favonius, Bursts stay online

· Evergreen synergy: Hu Tao Vape, National Team, “Raiden/Fischl comps,” Freeze, Bloom/Hyperbloom—you name it

 

> Quick Build

· Artifacts: 4-pc Emblem of Severed Fate (ER → Burst DMG scaling)

· Weapons: Sacrificial Sword (best QoL) / Favonius Sword (team battery)

 

> Stats & Slots:

· ER target: 200%~220% solo Hydro; drop to ~180% in Raiden National Team

· Main stats: Sands ER or ATK% (depending on ER need)|Goblet Hydro DMG|Circlet CRIT

· Constellations: Great at C0; C2/C6 are notable upgrades but not required

 

> Xingqiu vs. Yelan

· Trade-offs: Yelan offers higher burst DPS + universal ramping buff; Xingqiu brings denser Hydro application, damage reduction, poise, and small heals

· Takeaway: Pick Xingqiu for stability/comfort; pick Yelan for peak damage—together they’re even better

 

With rock-solid Hydro uptime, safety tools, and easy rotations, Xingqiu is a four-star you’ll never regret building.

 


| NO.3 Xiangling

> Why Build Xiangling 

· S-tier off-field Pyro: Guoba + Pyronado = dense multi-hit Pyro for Vape/Overload/Swirl

· Low floor, high ceiling: Pairs perfectly with Bennett, Xingqiu/Yelan, and Anemo VV supports

· Easy to optimize: 4-pc Emblem of Severed Fate + free The Catch already perform

· Rotation basics: Aim for ~200–220% ER; with team batteries/Favonius Lance you can go lower

 

> Quick Build

· Artifacts: 4-pc Emblem (best); early mix 2p Emblem + 2p Crimson/ATK%

· Weapons (4★): The Catch > Wavebreaker’s Fin (high team cost) / Dragon’s Bane (Vape) / Favonius Lance (ER)

· Main stats: Sands ER or ATK% (hit ER first)|Goblet Pyro DMG|Circlet CRIT

· Substats: ER > CRIT ≈ ATK

💡 Pro tips: Bennett Burst → Xiangling Burst to snapshot buffs; use VV shred by Swirling Pyro

 

High-frequency off-field Pyro + snapshot-friendly + easy gearing—Xiangling is a four-star you’ll never regret building.

 


| NO.4 Iansan


> Why Build Iansan

· 4★ Electro support / ATK buffer: Low-investment, high-impact ATK boosting with reliable team utility—plug-and-play for many comps.

· Natlan-ready: Leverages Nightsoul mechanics; pairs best with mobile on-field carries that move a lot.

· Flexible slot: Straightforward value for ATK-scaling DPS and Natlan-centric teams.

 

> Quick Build

· Artifacts:

4-pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (top pick; reaction → team Elemental DMG% + energy). If taken by someone else, use 4-pc Noblesse.

· Weapons:

Favonius Lance (best 4★—high Base ATK + ER + team particles). High-end options like Engulfing Lightning / Calamity Queller are fine depending on ER needs.

· Stats:

Aim ER ≥ ~200% for smooth Bursts → then stack ATK/CRIT as needed. Main stats commonly Sands ER/ATK%|Goblet ER/ATK or Electro (role-dependent)|Circlet CRIT (ensure Favonius procs).

· Talent Priority: Burst > Skill > Normal.

 

> Picking vs. Other buffers (Bennett / Xilonen)

· Difference: Iansan rewards movement → Nightsoul → ATK / team DMG%; Bennett is a field-based ATK+heals package; Xilonen is a follow-aura buffer.

· Takeaway: If you already have sustain and want ATK-centric, mobile-friendly support, Iansan fits perfectly

 

A cost-effective Electro support—often dubbed the “Natlan Bennett”: easy to gear, ER-friendly, and scales with movement; a long-term pick for mobile on-field carries.

 

 

| NO.5 Chevreuse


> Why Build Chevreuse

· Overloaded specialist — buffer + healer: With consistent Overloads, Chevreuse grants ~40% Pyro & Electro RES shred and an ATK% buff, turning Overload comps into real endgame contenders.

· HP-driven ATK buff: Her A4 gives +1% ATK per 1,000 Max HP (capped at 40% at 40,000 HP). Healing also scales with HP.

· Low-maintenance building: Focus on HP and ER; she doesn’t rely on Talent multipliers to provide her core value.

 

> Quick Build

· Artifacts:

4-pc Noblesse Oblige if no one else holds it (plug-and-play team buff).

4-pc Song of Days Past (records healing → additive DMG; notably better with C6 teams).

 

· Weapons:

Favonius Lance (Top 4★Pick): Reliable particle generation that slashes ER requirements and feeds the whole team.

Rightful Reward (Craftable): HP% substat and Energy on being healed—synergizes with Chevreuse’s own healing and team sustain, making ER management much smoother.

Black Tassel (3★ Budget): Big HP%, easy to obtain/refine—use when your ER is already covered for a pure HP/utility stick.

 

· Stats & Targets:

ER: ~100% if you don’t Burst every rotation; ~175–205% if you do (~105–135% with on-field Raiden). Favonius procs reduce ER needs by ~10–20%.

HP goal: ≥ 40,000 to cap A4 ATK. Main stats: Sands HP%/ER|Goblet HP%|Circlet HP%/Healing (or CRIT Rate if running Favonius).

 


| NO.6 Charlotte


> Why Build Charlotte

· 4★ Cryo catalyst healer: Burst delivers massive partywide healing and short on-field regen, while Skill provides off-field Cryo application—great in Freeze and Furina teams that convert healing into DMG.

· Low-maintenance rotations: Her value hinges on Burst every rotation; ER can be demanding, but Prototype Amber/Favonius Codex ease requirements dramatically.

 

> Quick Build

· Artifacts (by plug-and-play value):

4-pc Noblesse Oblige (team ATK buff if uncontested)

4-pc Ocean-Hued Clam (maximize healing and convert to damage)

Alternatives: 4-pc Tenacity (long Hold-E windows) / 2+2 ER/ATK/Healing mixes.

 

· Weapons:

Oathsworn Eye (event-only): Grants ER for ~10s after casting Skill, which fits Charlotte’s E→Q sequence; ATK% substat works fine with Noblesse/Clam.

Prototype Amber (BiS sustain) ≈ Favonius Codex (team battery); only consider TTDS/offensive sticks if ER is already solved.

 

· Stats & ER:

To Burst every rotation: Solo Cryo ~185–230% ER, Double Cryo ~160–200%, Triple Cryo ~150–180%; Favonius procs ~–15% ER.

Mains: Sands ER/ATK% (hit ER first)|Goblet ATK%/Cryo DMG|Circlet Healing Bonus/CRIT (for Favonius consistency).

Talent Priority: Burst > Skill >> Normal Attack.

 

A plug-and-play healer with off-field Cryo: meet ER checks, use Prototype Amber/Favonius, and she slots cleanly into Freeze and Furina teams.
