Rating: A-Tier

Overall Tier A

Arclight generates plenty of SP for the team via her low cooldown Combo Skill, but will need Electrification to trigger. This limits her to teams with at least one other source of Electric Infliction, as her only source of it in her kit is via her Ultimate.

Notably, her Electric DMG buff can only be accessed on every third consumption of Electrification via her Battle Skill, totaling a net loss of 210 SP. This contradicts her role as an SP generator, and is best treated as a bonus rather than a boon.

How to Play Arclight

As a Teammate

Arclight primarily deals damage and restores SP with her low cooldown Combo Skill. She can trigger her own Combo Skill with her Ultimate, allowing players to cast 2-3 Combo Skills in a short timeframe when played correctly.

You get the most damage by using her talents in this order:

Use Combo Skill Before Battle Skill

Use Arclight's Combo Skill first before using Battle Skill to retrigger Arclight's Combo Skill again. This allows Arclight to trigger her Combo Skill twice in a short duration and maximize her damage.

Use Ultimate to Retrigger Combo Skill

When an enemy has an active Electric Infliction, use Arclight's ultimate apply Electrification, triggering her Combo Skill.

Who is Arclight? (Lore)

Survivalist and Technical Consultant

Arclight is a Scout of the Fiannae Circuit and is currently assigned to Endfield Industries as a technical consultant. Arclight is no stranger to the harsh nature of the Wildlands, being the main cause of her family's death.

However the intervention of the Fiannae Circuit saved and adopted her, teaching the young Kuranta how to survive under most situations.

With her experience and knowledge, Arclight works hard to help any poor soul she comes across in Talos-II by teaching the basics of survival and translating the technology of Endfield Industries for layman's use.
