- You prefer Gilberta's Arts Susc. + Nature Infliction identity over Arclight's SP Recovery + Electric Infliction.

Arclight shines when Arclight is the Electric SP battery and Electric Infliction enabler Zhuang Fangyi teams use when the premium support line is incomplete. Gilberta is the better commit when Gilberta does three support jobs in one kit: on-demand AoE gather, Nature Infliction, and Susceptibility / Ultimate-gain buffing that scales carry dumps.
