Dr. Ratio focuses on two issues that set him other than different DPS characters: elevated harm in opposition to debuffed enemies and follow-up assaults. Some characters deal additional harm in opposition to enemies troubled with particular standing results (taking a look at you, Kafka) and people well-known for his or her follow-up assaults (Topaz, Blade, Himeko, and many others), however these skills have not been mixed into one character till now.

Best Gentle Cone for Dr. Ratio

Dr. Ratio’s greatest Gentle Cone is Baptism of Pure Thought, a five-star Gentle Cone particularly tailor-made for his equipment. It will increase his Crit DMG and additional raises it with each debuff, one thing you’d already wish to reap the benefits of together with his Expertise. It even will increase DMG and ignores the goal’s DEF by 20 % for 2 turns after Dr. Ratio hits it together with his Final. The one draw back to this Gentle Cone is the variety of Rail Passes you’d want to make use of to get it. It is a limited-time Gentle Cone that runs alongside Dr. Ratio’s banner.

Any of the opposite five-star Hunt Gentle Cones may even do a positive job. Topaz’s Worrisome, Blissful will increase Crit Fee and DMG from follow-up assaults, which additionally works nicely with Dr. Ratio. Sleep Like The Lifeless raises Crit DMG by default, however it additionally raises Crit Fee every time the consumer’s Fundamental ATK and Ability would not end in a CRIT hit. These additionally rely on gacha, although.

When you should use a 4 Gentle Cone (for instance, in case you occur to have already got Cruising within the Stellar Sea geared up on one other character), then you possibly can attempt Solely Silence Stays or Return to Darkness. Solely Silence Stays is a gacha Gentle Cone you may have already got from pulling on banners. Return to Darkness comes from the Anonymous Honor Battle Move, which you should buy. (Once more, I might suggest Cruising within the Stellar Sea over that as a result of it’s free.)

Arrows or Darting Arrow, two three-star Gentle Cones you’re going to get early within the sport, may also work as a stand-in whereas ready for higher Gentle Cones. I might personally select Arrows due to the Crit Fee enhance, even when it solely lasts for 3 turns.

He additionally will get a Crit DMG bonus in opposition to Imprisoned (the Imaginary character debuff) enemies. It is as if this set was constructed for him with how nicely it enhances his equipment.

You may not get a perfect four-piece set straight away, although. Within the meantime, you possibly can attempt sporting a two-piece Wastelander set with a two-piece Ashblazing Grand Duke set. Ashblazing is a more moderen set that got here out with the introduction of Topaz & Numby, however it additionally works nicely with Dr. Ratio due to the 20 % enhance to follow-up assault harm. Two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat with two-piece Wastelander additionally does nicely with its Imaginary DMG and ATK enhance.

You may get not less than 10 % simply from leveling him up. The remainder can simply add up by means of his Gentle Cone and Relics. In case you have but to farm for Inert Salsotto, it would not harm to stay with the ATK-boosting Area Sealing Station till you do, although.

As a DPS, Dr. Ratio advantages most from ATK, Crit DMG, and Crit Fee. You may usually wish to lean towards Crit Fee for his physique piece, however in case you already attain 70 to 80 % together with his Traces, Gentle Cone, and substats, then you must go for Crit DMG. For his ft, go for SPD boots in order that he can squeeze in as many turns as doable.

Select an Imaginary DMG sphere and Power Regeneration Rope for his Ornaments. One raises his general Imaginary DMG and the opposite will make it in an effort to use his Final as a lot as doable. That is essential, contemplating that his Final applies a marker to an enemy that triggers follow-up assaults when teammates hit them.
