Shared Team Members
With Last Rite
Perlica is the Electric enabler. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction on demand; Combo Skill applies Electrification on Final Strike so Electric kits like Last Rite's can actually function.

Perlica is required. She applies Electric Infliction and Electrification on demand so Zhuang Fangyi can generate and consume Sunderblade stacks every rotation.
With Last Rite
Arcane adds Susceptibility/grouping or secondary Cryo-Nature pressure while Last Rite owns the Infliction carry seat.
With Zhuang Fangyi
Arcane either dumps Nature/Cryo damage in INT form or groups and applies Susceptibility in WILL form. Beside Zhuang Fangyi, she is the setup/burst flex that creates a clean window to spend.
