Arclight
Hannabit Circuit
Main Agility · Sub Intellect
Arclight is the Electric SP battery and Electric Infliction enabler Zhuang Fangyi teams use when the premium support line is incomplete. Her Ultimate’s delayed second hit can whiff on mobile targets, which is the main ceiling on her ranking. Pull as an Electric stopgap or when she is cheap pity; do not prioritize her over Zhuang Fangyi, Perlica, or Akekuri if those are the holes on your account.
Arclight is a 5★ Electric Flex (Sword). Arclight wants a lot of Electrification going on to fully utilize her Combo Skill, while her Battle Skill does exactly that.
Overview
Quick Build
Weapon
White Night Nova
White Night Nova is a 6-star weapon, increasing Arts DMG and Arts Intensity once the wielder applies Combustion or Electrification. This will boost Arclight's damage, and more importantly it will boost the effectiveness of the Electrification she applies.
Gear Set
Frontiers
Frontiers is Arclight's best set, providing all the attributes she wants, while also further reducing her Combo Skill's cooldown. The real benefit of this set is the team-wide damage buff it grants whenever Arclight restores SP, which she does better and more frequently than most, guaranteeing a very high uptime on the buff.

Weaknesses
- Needs the right element pairing — off-element squads leave Arclight's kit half-used.
- Investment cost is real before the kit feels smooth in longer fights.
Skill Priority
Arclight will largely be used for her ability to generate SP, making her Battle Skill.
Level after higher priorities — supports the combo skill role in the rotation.
Level after higher priorities — supports the ultimate role in the rotation.
Level after higher priorities — supports the basic attack role in the rotation.
Stat Priority
Arclight wants a lot of Electrification going on to fully utilize her Combo Skill, while her Battle Skill does exactly that.
Her Ultimate also creates Electrification if the enemy already has Electric Infliction, so do not use it unless the enemy has the debuff from another source already.
Use these notes as the operator priority order inside the comps above.
Weapons
Main Attribute Boost [L] · Arts Intensity Boost [L]
Arts DMG Dealt +12/21.6/33.6%. After the wielder applies Combustion or Electrification, the wielder gains Arts DMG Dealt +12/21.6/33.6% and Arts Intensity +25/45/70 for 15.00s. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Why it works —White Night Nova is a 6-star weapon, increasing Arts DMG and Arts Intensity once the wielder applies Combustion or Electrification. This will boost Arclight's damage, and more importantly it will boost the effectiveness of the Electrification she applies.
Agility Boost [M] · ATK Boost [M]
Secondary Attribute +5/9/14%. After the wielder consumes an Arts Reaction, ATK +7.5/13.5/21% for 20.00s. Max stacks for effects of the same name: 2.00. Duration of each stack is counted separately.
Why it works —Twelve Questions is a decent 5-star option for Arclight since it boosts both her Agility & Attack. When the Operator consumes an Arts Reaction it will increase their Attack for 20 Seconds, giving Arclight some additional damage.
Agility Boost [S] · Physical DMG Boost [S]
When the wielder's battle skill hits the enemy, the wielder gains ATK +12/21.6/33.6% for 20.00s. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Why it works —Prominent Edge is a band aid 4-star weapon for Arclight. It'll get the job done by boosting her Agility and Physical Damage while also benefiting from the buff provided by the weapon itself.
Gear
Frontiers is Arclight's best set. It further cuts Combo Skill cooldown and, more importantly, converts her excellent SP generation into a near-permanent team DMG buff.

Team Compositions
Arclight SP seat in Zhuang Fangyi's Electric core — Perlica enables, Gilberta adds Arts Susceptibility amp on the dump.
Arclight is the Electric SP battery — convert Electrification into SP so the Electric carry never stalls.
Perlica is the Electric enabler. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction on demand; Combo Skill applies Electrification on Final Strike so Electric kits like Arclight's can actually function.
Gilberta applies Arts Susceptibility and Nature enablement, then amps the dump with her Ultimate. She is the premium Arts support seat next to Arclight.
Zhuang Fangyi parks Sunderblades and channels them by consuming Electrification. She does not fight Avywenna-style Thunderlance banking for the same resource, so she can dual-DPS with Electric burst partners while Perlica keeps Infliction/Electrification online.
