Welt Build Guide: Master the Void Weaver

Welt Yang, the former ruler of Belobog and a key figure in the Astral Express crew, is a powerful Imaginary Nihility character. This guide focuses on optimizing his build to maximize his debuffing and crowd control capabilities, making him an invaluable asset against tough enemies. Learn the best Light Cones, Relics, Planar Ornaments, and Traces to make Welt a formidable force.

Welt's kit revolves around his ability to inflict Imprisonment and Weakness on enemies, slowing them down and making them more vulnerable to your team's attacks. His Skill, Void Creation, deals Imaginary DMG and has a chance to Imprison. His Ultimate, World Lock, deals significant Imaginary DMG and applies a debuff that reduces enemy SPD and increases the DMG they take.

Recommended Light Cones:

  • In the Name of the Past (5-Star): Welt's sature Light Cone, significantly boosting his Effect Hit Rate and increasing DMG dealt after using his Ultimate. This is his best-in-slot.
  • Patience is All You Need (5-Star): While primarily for Hunt characters, its SPD boost and DoT application can be situationally useful if you lack other options.
  • Good Night, Sleep Well (4-Star): Excellent for increasing Welt's DMG against debuffed enemies, synergizing well with his Nihility role.
  • Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat (4-Star): Provides a chance to apply a DEF reduction debuff on enemies when Welt attacks, further enhancing team damage.

Recommended Relics:

Focus on Relics that enhance his debuffing and damage output:

  • 4-Piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement: This set is ideal for Welt, as it increases his DMG against enemies with high HP and allows him to ore a portion of enemy DEF when attacking.
  • 2-Piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement + 2-Piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat: A solid alternative for increased DMG and ATK.

Planar Ornaments:

  • 2-Piece Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise: Boosts Welt's Effect Hit Rate and, if his Effect Hit Rate is high enough, further increases his DMG.
  • 2-Piece Space Sealing Station: Provides a significant ATK boost when Welt has at least two allies with the same Path as him, or when no allies have the same Path.

Stat Priorities:

Prioritize these stats for Welt:

  1. Effect Hit Rate: Crucial for ensuring his debuffs, especially Imprisonment, land consistently. Aim for at least 70%.
  2. SPD: Allows him to act more often, applying debuffs and dealing damage.
  3. DMG% (Imaginary): Boosts his personal damage output.
  4. ATK%: Increases his base damage.
  5. HP/DEF: For survivability.

Traces:

Upgrade these Traces in order of importance:

  • World Lock (Ultimate): His most impactful ability for team-wide debuffs and damage amplification.
  • Void Creation (Skill): Essential for applying Imprisonment and dealing damage.
  • Law of Causality (Talent): Provides a damage-over-time effect after an enemy is Imprisoned.
  • General Stat Boosts: Focus on Effect Hit Rate, SPD, and Imaginary DMG.

By implementing this build, Welt will become a cornerstone of your team, controlling the battlefield and significantly increasing your team's overall damage potential.
