Pogranichnik
Rhodes Island
Main Will · Sub Agility
Pogranichnik is the Physical-side amp Mi Fu and Rossi teams lean on for Vulnerability and Physical damage windows. He is a big reason Physical crush comps stay competitive while Electric and Nature get the spotlight. Pull him to finish a Physical Monument team; if you are all-in on Arts reaction and never touch Physical, his banner is correctly a pass.
Pogranichnik is a 6★ Physical Flex (Sword). Pogranichnik's playstyle will mostly play off of Vulnerable stacks, with his Combo Skill being his source of Net SP gain.

Stat Priority
Pogranichnik's playstyle will mostly play off of Vulnerable stacks, with his Combo Skill being his source of Net SP gain.
He'll want another operator to build several stacks of Vulnerable for him, then use his Battle Skill to Breach the enemy, consuming the Vulnerable, which will have his Combo Skill trigger, doing more damage and gaining SP.
Use these notes as the operator priority order inside the comps above.

Max stacks for effects of the same name: 5.00. Duration of each stack is counted separately. Effect only triggers once every 0.1s.
