Arlan Build Guide

Arlan, a loyal subordinate of the Herta Space Station, is a 4-star Lightning Destruction character whose damage scales with his remaining HP. This guide will focus on maximizing his damage output by balancing his ATK and Critical stats while managing his HP effectively. Learn his best gear and team compositions to unleash his destructive potential.

Arlan is a unique 4-star Lightning Destruction character whose damage scales with his current HP, meaning he deals more damage when his HP is lower. To maximize his offensive capabilities, prioritize building his ATK, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage. He benefits greatly from allies who can provide shields or healing to manage his HP, allowing him to stay in his optimal damage state while maintaining survivability.
