Shared Team Members

With Da Pan

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

With Zhuang Fangyi

Perlica is required. She applies Electric Infliction and Electrification on demand so Zhuang Fangyi can generate and consume Sunderblade stacks every rotation.
