Gilberta Build Guide

Yvonne Gilberta Xaihi Alesh / Fluorite

Gilberta's current meta team looks to be in an Yvonne Nature team. In this team, Gilberta acts as both a Sub DPS and buffer, but you should prioritize building Yvonne up first for damage.

Gilberta's Combo Skill applying Lift allows her to trigger Shatter on Yvonne's Solidification, making their synergy even better.

Fluorite can apply extra Inflictions, but Alesh can use Thermite Cutter for better team damage potential.

Avywenna Perlica Arclight Gilberta

This team uses Gilberta as an Arts Susceptibility source with her Ultimate to boost the teams damage. Having another Infliction type also lets you trigger Electrification more often, leading to more Arclight Combo Skills, leading to more SP.

Laevatain Wulfgard Akekuri Gilberta

You can use Gilberta for Laevatain since the grouping is extremely helpful for overworld exploration.
Not recommended for single target content.

Weapons

• Best-in-Slot: Delivery Guaranteed (Signature)
• Alt: Opus: Etch Figure (Freemium Battlepass)
• F2P: Stanza of Memorials
• F2P: OBJ Arts Identifier (Avywenna Team)

Gilberta’s Signature is the best option for her as it increases her Ultimate Generation and the Arts Damage of the team. Opus: Etch Figure is similar to it and can replace Gilberta’s Signature for Arts based teams, but you lose the Ultimate Generation which is massive for her. It's a great F2P option since you can get it from the Battle Pass, but keep in mind it only increases the Arts Damage of your team.

If you want a more generic option that still provides Team Utility, Stanza of Memorials is a great option. It gives ATK% for all non-nature teammates, which is much better than DMG%, but the stats are not that useful for her. OBJ Arts Identifier is the same, but for Electric and Heat Operators.

Gear

General Use

• Gear Set: Eternal Xiranite
• Armor: Eternal Xiranite Armor
• Gloves: Eternal Xiranite Gloves T1
• Kit 1: Eternal Xiranite Auxiliary Arm
• Kit 2: Eternal Xiranite Auxiliary Arm

Eternal Xiranite only triggers on Gilberta’s Ultimate, but it provides great damage potential for your team. Stack a lot of Ultimate Gain Efficiency to increase this set up time. This set will also be nice in the overworld as you charge her Ultimate up faster. Intellect also helps with her healing.

Yvonne Team

• Gear Set: Bonekrusha
• Armor: Bonekrusha Poncho T1
• Gloves: Hot Work Gauntlets T1
• Kit 1: Bonekrusha Figurine T1
• Kit 2: Bonekrusha Figurine T1

When using Gilberta for Yvonne, Xaihi can already use the Eternal Xiranite set, meaning you use Bonekrusha for more personal damage.

In other teams where there is no one to hold the Eternal Xiranite set, you can swap to this Gear for combat that uses strict rotations. For general gameplay, Eternal is nice for the Ultimate Gain, but Ultimate Gain can be overinvested if you don't actually need it for strict rotations.

Ultimate > Basic Attack > Combo Skill = Battle Skill
Recommended Levels (B/S/C/U): 6/6/6/M1 -> 9/9/9/M1

Leveling her Ultimate increases the Arts Amp effect so focus on this first for increased Team Utility.

Basic Attack should contribute the most to damage in a longer fight compared to Skill/Combo, but not by too much.

You can increase Combo to M3 for a 1s Cooldown reduction, but we're unsure if this results in meaningful gains in rotations.

M1 provides the highest Arts Susceptibility debuff, so you can stop there for Ultimate. Only raise higher for personal damage.

• P1 Above the Clouds
• P2 Wind Walker
• P3 Quick, Gentle Steps
• P4 Dances with Clouds
• P5 Special Mail

Gilberta’s Potentials increases the utility provided for the team. Potential 2 and 3 has the most interesting effects as Potential 2 increases the Arts Damage of your team while her Ultimate is active and Potential 3 increases the Ultimate Generation from her Combat Talent even further. Everything else is mostly for her damage potential.

Keep in mind that vertically investing in Arknights Endfield is not recommended and you should treat these as a bonus damage/utility for your Operator.

Playing Gilberta is all about using her utility to increase your team's damage. She has some synergies with Physical Agents too, as her Ultimate applies Arts Susceptibility based on the number of Vulnerable Stacks. 

Start by applying some other Arts Infliction to enemies, after this you can use her Battle Skill to pull enemies and apply Nature Infliction, triggering Corrosion on enemies and activating her Combo Skill. Use her Combo Skill to apply Vulnerable to enemies and follow-up with her Ultimate to extend the duration that enemies stay in the air.

In Yvonne teams, use Gilberta's Skill to stack up 2 Nature Inflictions, Fluorite for a 3rd, and trigger Yvonne's Battle Skill for Solidification and Ultimate Energy gain. This will trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill and you proceed as usual.

Gilberta will release on January 22nd, 2026 along with the release of Arknights: Endfield.

She will be part of the Limited Off-Banner Pool during Laevatain Banner. Gilberta's Limited Banner will then follow on February 7th, 2026.

Her Limited Banner will last for approximately 2.5 weeks until Yvonne Banner starts on February 24th, 2026.

From there, Gilberta will continue to be in the Off-Banner Pool for 2 banners, making the last chance to get her fall somewhere around April 1st. (estimate)
