DuchessThis build is designed to allow you to lean into the DPS-support role by dishing out high amounts of damage with sorceries, while also providing armor-shredding debuffs to enemies through the use of Frostbite. Additionally, it utilizes relics based around Frostbite to further increase your damage, apply the Frostbite status effect, and consistently go invisible without relying on your ultimate

Expedition Equipment
Duchess' Dagger, while equipped with the 
Night of the Miasma relic, will allow you to cause frostbite on enemies from landing and grabbing a 
Black Knife in another slot for the use of it's armament skill is very handy as well, but the main focus is going to be on locating staves with a good sorcery on it. For the majority of your damage spells to keep an eye out for are 
Stars Of Ruin 
Shattering Crystal 
Ranni's Dark Moon 
Comet Azur 
Ancient Death Rancor 
Rancorcall 
Glintstone Stars 
Star Shower Other Sorcerys can work but these are a consistent and solid option and if your unable to locate a proper staff a solid seal incantation to look out for is 
Black Flame found on 
Godslayer's Seal though she only has a B scale in faith black flame does percentage damage ontop of it's base damage allowing solid damage output even with lower faith scaling and if you can't locate a staff or seal a bow is a very solid option for her to have some form of ranged attack she can mildly delve into incantations and bows thanks to her moderate B scaling in both.

Game Plan and Pathing
Day 1
On Day 1, you need to prioritize acquiring a staff to cast ranged sorceries as soon as possible. Once you’ve secured one, focus on upgrading it to maximum power using the 
Smithing Stone [1] & 
Smithing Stone (2) head to an anvil and work on upgrading it to maximum power. Alongside that, focus on stacking as many damage-increasing, mana-boosting, and mana-recovery sources as possible.
Day 2
Repeat the steps from Day 1 to ensure you reach the highest possible power level by Day 3. It's just as important to make sure your teammates are equally well-geared, especially because Duchess’s unique ability technically scales with total team damage.
Her ability replays all recent damage dealt to an enemy, so both your damage and your teammates’ damage contribute to its effect. When you activate Restage, all of that combined damage is effectively counted as yours amplifying your impact dramatically.
Day 3
On Day 3, this is your time to shine.
Make the most of the high damage you've stacked up from previous days. Be sure to buy the two Starlight Shards from the nearby merchant, and pick up Warming Stones if you have any inventory space left.
Focus on being the boss’s last priority. If the boss does target you, take full advantage of your passive ability to create a large amount of distance. If all else fails, use your Ultimate Finale to forcefully break the enemy's aggro and redirect them away from you.
