Aether Gazer – Character Build Guide

Guide to Character Build

Order of Characters’ Progression

Once you get the characters you want and followed this newbie guide, making your team and everything else, you’ll start focusing on order of upgrading units. So, before upgrading you need to follow this structure:

  • Is the unit that you plan to upgrade someone that’ll be used for a long time?
  • To confirm this, first, check the position of all units suggested at “Which unit should I pull/reroll for?”
  • If your answer to this question is Yes, then, you can go all in, but through administration of materials.
  • Example: Character up to Level 80, 5* Sigils Level 60, seek best enchants and so on.
  • If your answer is no, then, go until you can build your characters enough to clear the “medium quality” content (jump to “Daily and Weekly activities” session).
  • Example: Character up to Level 70, Sigils uncap to 50 (but you can still let them on 40), or use 4* Sigils, don’t tryhard spending your enchants materials and so on.

Then, do this:

  • C-SUP > C-DPS > C-AUX

This is the standard recommendation. The reason is because of this:

  • C-SUP units as previously informed, can be included in almost any teams (as long they’re not oriented to specific element), so, I’ll refer to these units as “Universal”.
  • Universal Units = Ling Guang, S Hera, Artemis (Red Code), A Verthandi (exceptional case), Heimdall and so on.
  • A Verthandi = She’s an exceptional case because she can be used as both universal (AFTER MODULE LV3) and element oriented (she gives as well buffs towards lightning element).
  • C-DPS units usually (if you’re following the list I gave) have a high % of damage numbers, so, investing too much on them early is not mandatory (at least until you reach mid~end game).

If you’re in a situation that you have 2x C-DPS or 2x C-SUP in the same team, then, do this:

  • Which C-SUP brings the most benefit to the team? Then, they’ll be the priority.
  • Which C-DPS you’re manual playing? Then, they’ll be the priority.

Exception: If you’re in a situation that you don’t want to play, or letting the unit under AI, for whatever reason (you don’t know how to play, you don’t want to play, anyway), then follow the list shared and you’ll decide the priority.

For easy and fast understanding, units that works under AI to an acceptable degree (but not perfect):

S Rank

S Tsukuyomi, Ling Guang, Artemis, Ying Zhao (Yellow AC), A Verthandi (Blue AC), Thor, S Oneiroi, Sekhmet, Ookuninushi, Pluto (Ausar/S Osiris), Kagutsuchi (OG/First version), Marduk, S Leviathan, Skadi, Brahma, Geng Chen (use Spartan sigil) and so on.

Order of Skills Investment

“Which skill should I upgrade first?”

To avoid spending too many words on this, it’s simple. You must decide which skill to upgrade first according the purpose of the skill + effect over the kit of character + effect over the team.

  • Most of these skills are located at: SK1, SK3 and ULT;
  • Only a few units, such as S Hera, have their “core skills” implemented over SK2.
  • Also, if you can’t afford to upgrade all units to the MAX in Skill Level, consider to upgrade at least up to level 18~25.
  • Always follow the previously suggested order of Characters’ Progression
  • C-DPS: Usually located at SK1~SK3. Only a few have ULT as their core skill.
  • C-SUP: Usually SK1~ULT. But SK3 is possible as well and SK2 is specific to some cases (also, pay attention to the order of skills for each character).
  • AUX: SK3~ULT. But SK1 is possible as well.
  • Another method to help you implement a filter, is to decide according the purpose of each unit.
  • Example: What’s S Hera purpose on your team? ATK Buff? ALL DMG Buff? Then, SK2 + ULT are the priority.

“What about the elemental enhancement?”

Same structure, BUT, the difference is that this elemental enhancement will only boost the DMG, not the skill as a whole.

Also, since this mostly buffs DMG only, then you need to pay attention to:

  • Which skill deals more dmg?
  • Which skill is used more often (or has low amount of CD)?
  • Which skill gives the most benefit for the character and team at same time?

Suggestion of Skills Priority Order + Elemental Enhancement

The lists below were made following the concept of what brings the most benefit, amount of CD and DMG dealt.

A + B Rank

  • A Zenkibo – SK2
  • B Zenkibo – SK1~SK3
  • A Verthandi – SK2~SK3
  • B Verthandi – SK3
  • A Poseidon – SK3 (if C-DPS since she’s your free Omega)
  • Enlil – SK2~SK3 (ULT if partnered with Meng Zhang)
  • Hermes – SK1~SK3 (ULT if partnered with S Hera)
  • A Shu – SK3
  • Vidar – SK3~ULT
  • A Kali – SK2~SK3

  • A Buzenbo – SK3
  • Sobek – SK1~SK3 (ULT if partnered with Anubis)
  • A Osiris – SK3
  • A Heimdall – SK1~SK2~SK3 (give preference to SK1)
  • A Hera – SK3~ULT
  • Hodur – SK1~SK3~ULT (this depends a lot on playstyle and role purpose, since Hodur’s skills as debuffer have priority SK1, but if you have a well built team, her SK3 can become a good nuke method for early game; ULT is usually if she’s partnered with Ooku)

Note: All of units that already have module, it’s recommended to unlock it.
