This mid-game high-rank build focuses on utilizing both
Thunder and
Ice elements, providing excellent versatility against most enemy types by exploiting their weaknesses. As a lance user, you have exceptional defense, making this build a defensive juggernaut capable of inflicting high elemental and critical damage on any enemy that dares stand in your path.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The build revolves around a combination of gear, including the Windpierce Lance III and the
Artian Lance II You'll need to customize these to ensure a diverse set of elemental weaknesses to exploit against enemies. For armor, we're using a carefully selected set.
For The Artian Lance II you're aiming for at least 15% Affinity and 400 base
Thunder. You can aim for a higher rairty but for this build Rarity 7 is more than enough!
Ideal bonuses for your Artian Lance II: Sharpness Boost (1 Time), Elemental Boost (2 Times), Affinity Boost (1 Time) and Attack Boost (1 Times). Unless you get an excessive amount of sharpness boost for the most part everything else is fine. Elemental boost and Affinity is priority though.
