Sphere: Imaginary DMG

CRIT Rate ★★★
CRIT DMG ★★★
ATK% ★★
SPD ★★

This Imbibitor Lunae build focuses on dealing tons of Basic ATK DMG through CRIT DMG and ATK stats.

Since Imbibitor Lunae stacks CRIT Rate from his traces, using a CRIT DMG Body would be better to optimally increase his overall DMG. With the Wastelander of Banditry Desert, you can get more CRIT hits by attacking enemies who are Imprisoned.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
CRIT Rate 70% or above
CRIT DMG 140% or above (Outside of combat)
ATK 2500 or above
SPD 102 or 134+

Imbibitor Lunae should at least have 70% CRIT Rate to activate the Rutilant Arena set. Imbibitor Lunae will also get a bit of CRIT DMG from attacking Imaginary Weak enemies, so take this into account.

If Imbibitor Lunae is paired with a High SPD Sparkle, you don't need to invest SPD on him.

Is Wastelander still his best artifact set? I know his ornament got updated, just checking if there's something better to throw on him. Using him mostly with Sunday, Aventurine or the new Dan Heng, and Ruan Mei (before anyone mentions her, no I don't have Sparkle /sad face)
