Should You Pull?YES

Camille is the Physical crush lane’s setup piece, not a luxury buffer. She exists to make Mi Fu and Rossi style dumps land on schedule: infliction control, stagger enablement, and the field prep those carries assume you brought. Pull her when your Physical hyper is ready but the clear still feels unfinished — that gap is usually the enabler. If you are not playing Physical crush at all, her value drops hard and the banner is easy to ignore.

Camille is a 6★ Heat Flex (Polearm). Using Camille is fairly straightforward.

Overview

Quick Build

Weapon

Blessing of Lustrous Carmine

Camille's Signature Weapon. Upon using Camille's Combo Skill or Ultimate, the entire team will get both an ATK% and a Heat DMG buff.

Gear Set

Frontiers

As Camille shares the same stat line as two other Vanguards he's going to favor their best gearset as well, the Frontiers set. This will reduce the cooldown on his SP-generating Combo Skill, and grant the team further DMG any time he generates SP.

Weaknesses

  • Needs the right element pairing — off-element squads leave Camille's kit half-used.
  • Investment cost is real before the kit feels smooth in longer fights.

Weapons

Blessing of Lustrous Carmine

Agility Boost [L] · Heat DMG Boost [L]

Ultimate Gain Efficiency +18/32.4/50.4%. When the wielder's skill recovers SP, the entire team gains ATK +6/10.8/16.8% for 20.00s. When the wielder's skill applies Heat Infliction, the entire team gains Heat DMG Dealt +6/10.8/16.8% for 20.00s. The two effects apply separately and do not stack with themselves.

Why it works —Camille's Signature Weapon. Upon using Camille's Combo Skill or Ultimate, the entire team will get both an ATK% and a Heat DMG buff.

2
Beacon of Duty

Agility Boost [L] · Ultimate Gain Efficiency Boost [L]

Heat DMG Dealt +7/12.6/19.6%. When the wielder's skill applies Heat Infliction, the wielder gains Physical and Heat DMG Dealt +8/14.4/22.4% for 20.00s. When the wielder's skill applies Heat Susceptibility, the entire team gains Physical and Heat DMG Dealt +4/7.2/11.2% for 30.00s. The two effects apply separately and do not stack with themselves.

Why it works —Camille's Protocol Pass weapon. An interesting selection for using Camille with Rossi-based Physical teams.

3
Pathfinder's Beacon

Agility Boost [S] · ATK Boost [S]

When the wielder's HP is above 80.00%, ATK +15/27/42%.

Why it works —A decent starter weapon for Camille.

3pc

Frontiers is Camille's BiS. Shorter Combo Skill cooldown means more SP generation, and every SP recovery also grants the team a DMG buff — perfect for a Heat Vanguard built around fueling the squad.

Team Compositions

Wulfgard Combustion DPS: Camille batteries SP, Arcane/Perlica cover setup and secondary amp while Wulfgard applies and spends Combustion.

Character Synergy
Camille
CamilleVanguard

Camille is the Heat SP engine — Combo Skill for team SP, then let the Heat carry spend the buffed window.

Arcane
ArcaneCaster

Arcane either dumps Nature/Cryo damage in INT form or groups and applies Susceptibility in WILL form. Beside Camille, she is the setup/burst flex that creates a clean window to spend.

Wulfgard
WulfgardCaster

Wulfgard is the Heat carry Camille batteries — Combustion apply/consume inside Camille's SP and team DMG buffs.

Perlica
PerlicaEnabler

Perlica is the Electric enabler. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction on demand; Combo Skill applies Electrification on Final Strike so Electric kits like Camille's can actually function.

Skills & Potentials

Skills & Talents

Basic AttackSanguine Absolution

BASIC ATTACK: An attack with up to 5 sequences that deals Heat DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 18 Stagger. DIVE ATTACK: Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Heat DMG to nearby enemies. FINISHER: Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher that deals massive Heat DMG and recovers some SP.

Battle SkillBlazing Exorcism

SKILL DESCRIPTION: Camille summons Firefang Vesperwings that fly towards the enemy to deal Heat DMG and apply Heat Infliction on enemies in a small area of effect. The Firefang Vesperwings then temporarily hover around the target and apply Weakness and Heat Susceptibility to the said target for the duration of the hovering. When the target is defeated, the Firefang Vesperwings fly to another nearby enemy, deal Heat DMG, and apply Heat Infliction, Weakness, and Heat Susceptibility to the new target. Hitting an enemy with hovering Firefang Vesperwings with Camille's combo skill sets off an explosion after a short delay. This explosion deals additional Heat DMG.

Combo SkillHeartstake Thorn

COMBO TRIGGER: When an enemy's Heat Infliction is consumed or absorbed. SKILL DESCRIPTION: Performs a returning dash that deals Heat DMG and recovers some SP.

UltimateSanguine Downpour

SKILL DESCRIPTION: Camille flies to the sky, rains down a barrage of spears, and follows through with a sweep attack. This deals Heat DMG and applies Heat Infliction to target(s) hit while recovering some SP. After casting the ultimate, Camille's battle skill is temporarily transformed into Hunter Pursuit. Hunter Pursuit: Treated as a combo skill and costs no SP. It is a dash attack that deals Heat DMG and recovers some SP.

TalentHunter of Transgression

Combo skill Heartstake Thorn improved: When hitting an enemy with hovering Firefang Vesperwings, Camille restores [60 + Intellect × 0.3] HP to himself and grants a Link buff for 15s. When casting Hunter Pursuit, this effect can be triggered even when hitting a target with no hovering Vesperwings.
