Argenti is a Path of Erudition Physical damage character released in patch 1.5.
Argenti is an Area of Effect focused damaged dealer who excels vs a large number of enemies who can be dispatched quickly. His main mechanic allows him to store beyond 90 energy for his Ultimate and deal bonus damage if he reaches 180 energy.
Additionally, he gains energy and a stacking crit buff per enemy hit and gains additional energy as new enemies enter the encounter. Argenti can be a very powerful choice when he is strong enough to quickly clear waves of enemies, further increasing his ability to regain energy and clear future waves with his ultimate.
This means a highly invested Argenti can be very good for speed farming. However, Argenti does not appear to be as powerful as some of the other premier 5* options and for most players is a solid option but not a must pull unless they like the character.
Argenti generally prioritizes building Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK% and SPD. Argenti is great against lots of weak enemies and can be an excellent choice for speed clearing with enough investment. He also will be a very strong damage dealer for the upcoming game mode: Pure Fiction.
Deals Physical DMG equal to 50%—110% of Argenti’s ATK to a single target enemy.
Deals Physical DMG equal to 60%—132% of Argenti’s ATK to all enemies.
Consumes 90 Energy and deals Physical DMG equal to 96%—172.8% of Argenti’s ATK to all enemies.
Consumes 180 Energy and deals Physical DMG equal to 168%—302.4% of Argenti’s ATK to all enemies, and further deals DMG for 6 extra time(s), with each time dealing Physical DMG equal to 57%—102.6% of Argenti’s ATK to a random enemy.
For every enemy hit when Argenti uses his Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate, regenerates Argenti’s Energy by 3, and grants him a stack of Ascend, increasing his CRIT Rate by 1%—2.8%. This effect can stack up to 10 time(s).
After using the Technique, enemies in a set area are inflicted with Daze for 10 second(s). Dazed enemies will not actively attack the team. When attacking a Dazed enemy to enter combat, deals Physical DMG to all enemies equal to 80% of Argenti’s ATK and regenerates his Energy by 15.
At the start of a turn, immediately gains 1 stack(s) of Ascend.
Requires Character Ascension 2
When enemy targets enter battle, immediately regenerates 2 Energy for self.
Requires Character Ascension 4
Deals 15% more DMG to enemies whose HP percentage is 50% or less.
Requires Character Ascension 6
Argenti is a powerful character without any Eidolons and does not need them to excel. However for those looking to spend or save more additional copies of Argenti there are some added benefits. Argenti will perform well at E0 but here is a quick assessment of her Eidolons:
Each stack of Ascend additionally increases CRIT DMG by 4%.
If the number of enemies on the field equals to 3 or more when the Ultimate is used, ATK increases by 40% for 1 turn(s).
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
At the start of battle, gains 2 stack(s) of Ascend and increases the maximum stack limit of the Talent’s effect by 2.
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
When using Ultimate, ignores 30% of the enemy target’s DEF.
Argenti scales primarily off of ATK and Crit making him a fairly traditional character to build. SPD is also a good option for Argenti as it helps him generate energy more quickly.
Argenti ’s general stat priority is:
Ideal Main Stats by Relic Type:
Set bonuses should ultimately just be thought of as additional substats, and the weight of 4-Pc sets is very low. Mixing and matching two different 2-Pc bonuses can often be more optimal than completing a 4-Pc set bonus if it allows you to use substantially better relics. It is recommended to use gear optimizers to assess which Relic pieces to use.
2 Piece: Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
4 Piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their ATK increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to 5 time(s).
Both the two and four piece bonuses are quite excellent for Argenti making this his best in slot set, but there are several good 2pc combinations that can be preferred if they have better substats.
2 Piece: ATK increases by 12%.
4 Piece: The wearer’s SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
The two and four piece bonuses both work well for Argenti as he wants both ATK% and SPD.
2 Piece: Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
2 Piece: ATK increases by 12%.
Physical DMG and ATK% are both excellent choices for Argenti.
2 Piece: Increases SPD by 6%.
4 Piece: Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
SPD and Physical DMG are both strong stats for Argenti.
2 Piece: Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 8%. When the wearer’s current CRIT Rate reaches 70% or higher, the wearer’s Basic ATK and Skill DMG increase by 20%.
Rutilant Arena is a very strong set for any DPS that cares about crit and Argenti is no exception. Additionally, Argenti’s stacking Crit buff makes it easier to reach the 70% CRIT threshold.
2-Piece: Increases the wearer’s ATK by 12%. When the wearer’s SPD is equal to or higher than 135/160, the wearer deals 12%/18% more DMG.
Firmament is an excellent option so long as players meet at least the 135 SPD requirement for the set bonus as it offers both ATK% and DMG%.
2-Piece: Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 8%. When the wearer’s current CRIT Rate reaches 50% or higher, the wearer’s Ultimate and follow-up attack DMG increases by 15%.
Inert Salsotto is a close second for players who already have it farmed, but Rutilant is generally preferred and it’s not worth going out of your way to farm Salsotto for Argenti.
2 Piece: Increases the wearer’s ATK by 12%. When the wearer’s SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer’s ATK increases by another 12%.
The ATK% bonus is well utilized by Argenti.
Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 36~60%. When the wearer uses Ultimate, increases the wearer’s Ultimate DMG based on their max energy. Each point of Energy increases the Ultimate DMG by 0.36~0.60%, up to 180 points of Energy.
Argenti’s featured light cone is custom made for him and gives him everything he needs. This is his best in slot by a large margin as is the case for most featured Light Cones.
After entering battle, increases the wearer’s DMG based on their Max Energy. DMG increases by 0.20% per point of Energy, up to 160 Energy.
This cone is a great option for those who purchase Nameless Honor. Argenti’s ultimate costing 180 energy gets excellent use out of the passive.
Increases the wearer’s DMG by 12%. For every defeated enemy, the wearer’s ATK increases by 4%, stacking up to 3 time(s).
This light cone is the best free to play option and still performs quite well compared to other options.
Argenti is best played as a traditional hyper carry with 2 offensive supports and a defensive support to maximize his offensive abilities.
Tingyun and Huohuo help feed Argenti energy which helps him ultimate and clear waves even faster. All of the characters help buff Argenti’s offensive capabilities and allow him to really shine as a hyper carry.
This team is also focused on maximizing Argenti’s hyper carry potential but uses more 4* characters. Asta, Hanya and Yukong can also be substituted in the offensive support slots depending on the encounter and the user’s account.
That concludes everything you need to know about Argenti. We hope this guide was useful and helps you clear Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction.
