Check out this 9-second Devourer clear using our Sharen Hard Mode Build!
The clear should be even faster when you slot in the appropriate elemental enhancement as this showcase tries to emphasize the base damage of the build!
Overcharged Edge | Mid-Air Maneuvering | Multitalented | Focus on Electric | Focus on Fusion | Shot Focus |
MP Conversion | HP Amplification | Skill Concentration | Skill Insight | Electric Antibody | Nimble Fingers |
More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.
The build revolves around repeatedly using Overcharged Edge with the help of Multitalented to get a constant +150% damage buff for all sources of damage, mainly for Afterglow Sword.
This Overcharged Edge build guarantees you can melt bosses without MP use while staying relatively safe! The other modules focus on HP, Skill Power, and Skill Cooldowns.
Modules Guide: List of Modules
Module Change | Explanation | ||
---|---|---|---|
Overcharged Edge | > | Void Domination | Upgrades Flash Shortsword to have better range and increased targets |
Electric Antibody | > | MP Collector | Easily replenish MP when facing hordes of enemies |
Shot Focus | > | Increased HP | Increases HP over Firearm ATK |
Focus on Fusion | > | Skill Simplification | Increase Skill Power over cooldowns |
With Void Domination and additional Skill values, Sharen can be one of the better Descendants at clearing mobs since this skill travels through terrain. Since you now have more range and targets, you can stand in the corner and clear rooms full of enemies!
Module Change | Explanation | ||
---|---|---|---|
Overcharged Edge | > | Battlesuit Melting Rounds | Upgrades Shock Nuts to decrease defenses and electrical resistances |
HP Amplification | > | Battle of Stamina | Increase Skill Duration over HP |
Shot Focus | > | Increased HP | Increases HP over Firearm ATK |
Electric Antibody | > | Skill Extension | Increases Skill Duration over elemental resistance |
Sharen is known for her role as a utility descendant that makes Outposts more efficient while yielding better results. To make the process easier, the modules included here increase Skill Duration while keeping the already low cooldowns!
Furthermore, replace Overcharged Edge with Battlesuit Melting Rounds to remove the quick stealth duration of the former while still having a way to increase damage output!
Weapon | Substat Priority |
---|---|
Afterglow Sword | • Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus)
• Firearm ATK • Firearm Critical Rate • Firearm Critical Hit Damage • Weak Point Damage |
Thunder Cage | • Bonus Firearm ATK Colossus (vs. Colossus)
• Firearm ATK • Firearm Critical Hit Damage • Electric ATK |
The Afterglow Sword is Sharen's boss melter due to its absurd attack values and Unique Ability, which increases the Critical Hit Rate on bosses and promotes hitting Weak Points by giving you additional damage with each stack.
Thunder Cage is either a mob clearer or a sub-weapon when you lack ammo for the Afterglow Sword. This weapon excels due to its high Critical Hit values and ability to exploit Electric Conductor with Sharen.
Strengthen First Shot | Concentration Stabilizer | Concentration Priority | Focus Fire | Action and Reaction |
Weak Point Sight | Better Concentration | Better Insight | Electric Enhancement | Rifling Reinforcement |
More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.
Since the Afterglow Sword already has high base values on all of its stats and has a consistent way to hit crits, mod it purely for damage. Modules with stats such as Firearm ATK, Critical Hit Damage, and Weak Point Damage make this already broken weapon even better!
Even with a low reload modifier due to Concentration Priority, the reload can be canceled early with Overcharged Edge; it does not matter since you will mostly melt bosses before you run out with your first magazine.
Electric Conductor | Reload Insight | Bullet Rain | Insight Support Ammo | Insight Focus |
Action and Reaction | Better Concentration | Expand General Magazine | Better Insight | Rifling Reinforcement |
More Modules can be seen by scrolling horizontally.
Thunder Cage will be your weapon for mobs due to its Unique Ability and high critical values. To fully capitalize on this, slot in mods that increase Firearm ATK, Fire Rate,Critical Hit Rate/Damage, and Magazine Size.
Furthermore, Sharen can easily inflict Electrocution with her skills, especially when paired with Release Cutting Force. This ease to electrocute allows you to slot in Electric Conductor for an easy +26% Firearm ATK boost!
Equipment | Substat Priority |
---|---|
Tingling Mixture Reactor | • Additional Skill ATK When Attacking Colossus
• Electric Skill Power Boost Ratio • Skill Critical Hit Rate • Skill Critical Damage |
Frozen Heart Auxiliary Power | • Max HP
• MP Recovery Out of Combat |
Frozen Heart Sensor | • Shield Recovery Out of Combat
• Chill Resistance • MP Recovery In Combat |
Supernova Memory | • Shield Recovery In Combat
• DEF • MP Recovery Multiplier |
Supernova Processor | • Shield Recovery Modifier
• Max Shield |
Note that External Components with set bonuses have fixed main stats.
The best Reactor for Sharen is Tingling Mixture Reactor, which boosts Electric and Fusion, capitalizing on Cutoff Beam and Flash Shortsword's high power scaling. For substats, prioritize Additional Skill ATK When Attacking Colossus and Electric Skill Power Boost Ratio for a standard damage increase.
The best External Component mixed-set for Sharen is the Frozen Heart and Supernova set to get their 2-part bonuses while maintaining high DEF. Using this mixed set grants you +5% Critical Hit Rate on Snipers and Scout Rifles and an additional +8.6% Electric Skill Power Modifier.
For the substats, prioritize Shield Recovery to constantly use Overcharged Edge. If you prefer to use your skills rather than relying on Firearms, change the external components' substats. Instead of Shield Recovery substats, opt for MP Recovery to constantly spam out your skills without running out of MP!

Sharen Playstyle Tips |
---|
|
Using the appropriate buff at the right time is key to maximizing Multitalented's utility since it only applies to one type of skill at a time.
In scenarios where you must spam out skills, start by casting either Active Camouflage or Shock Nuts. If you need to prolong your Electrocution procs or stealth, actively use your Cutoff Beams!
Whenever you go into Overcharged Edge, make it a habit to cancel it by casting it again. Doing so cancels reload and cocking animations, constantly applies the Multitalented CD reduction, and repeatedly applies the +150% damage increase.
Overcharged Edge Module
Note: This clip uses the base damage of Thunder Cage
Using your Cutoff Beam or Flash Shortsword inflicts a guaranteed Electrocution status ailment on enemies that scale with Skill Duration. Capitalize on this by slotting Electric Conductor on weapons for a significant +26% Firearm ATK increase!
Electric Conductor Module
Depending on the boss you will face, consistently swap out Elemental Enhancements. For example, if your Afterglow Sword deals about 1,350,000 damage with Strengthen First Shot + Overcharged Edge, you can potentially deal an additional 405,000 elemental damage!

Emergency Measures | Skill Critical Hit Rate +X%, Skill Critical Hit Damage +X% |

Increased DEF | DEF +X% |
Increased HP | Max HP +X% |
Nimble Fingers | Skill Cooldown -X% |
Sharen, in the early game, is kitted out to deal massive damage with her skills given that she has a high base Skill Critical Hit Rate and Damage. Invest early on Skill Cooldown, Critical Hit Rate/Damage, and Power to capitalize on the skill lethality that carries her through Normal Mode.
Modules Guide: List of Modules
Weapon | Stat Priority | ||
---|---|---|---|
Thunder Cage | ・Firearm ATK ・Critical Hit Damage ・Critical Hit Rate ・Bonus Firearm ATK |

Best Modules for Thunder Cage | |||

Rifling Reinforcement | Firearm ATK +X% |
While Sharen can burst down bosses with little to no problem in Normal Mode, she has no means to deal AoE damage. The Thundercage covers this crucial weakness early on due to its Unique Ability, Overcharge, which clears hordes of enemies with electric shockwaves.
Reactor | Stat Priority |
---|---|
Tingling Mixture Reactor | ・Electric Skill Power Boost Ratio ・Skill Critical Hit Rate |
For the earlier stages of the game, equip any Tingling Mixture Reactor you get. It is best to funnel into Fusion as all of Sharen's damaging skills scale off that type.
For the substats, look for Electric Skill Power Boost Ratio and Skill Critical Hit Rate to further increase your damage output.
Reactors Guide: List of Reactors
Set | Set Effect |
---|---|
|
2-Set Effect: ・Skill Critical Hit Rate +18% 4-Set Effect: ・Skill Power +4% ・Skill Cost -2.8% |
Substat Priority | |
Auxiliary Power | ・Max HP ・Fire Resistance ・Kuiper Shard Drop Rate Increase Modifier ・Module Drop Rate Increase Modifier |
Sensor | ・MP Recovery in Combat ・Max MP ・Consumable Drop Rate Increase Modifier ・Character EXP Gain |
Memory | ・DEF ・Electric Resistance ・Firearm Proficiency Gain Modifier ・Gold Drop Rate Increase Modifier |
Processor | ・Max Shield ・Item Acquisition Distance Increase Modifier ・Toxic Resistance ・Equipment Drop Rate Increase Modifier |
Further emphasizing Sharen's skill potency, slotting in the Battle Aesthetics set gives you that additional consistency to score juiced-up skill crits.
The downside of this set is that the Sensor and Memory give Max Shields instead of HP, so it is recommended to swap these two out with Veteran Marksman components later on to bolster your defenses and get additional Firearm Critical Hit Rate

Research Sharen by Talking to Anais Proceed to Anais' location in the Research Institute (Albion) and interact with her to research Sharen with the materials you've gathered from the steps above. ▶ What to Research at the Research Institute |
You can unlock Sharen through the Research Institute in Albion. Note that to acquire a Descendant using research, you need all the required items and gold to unlock this character.
While Sharen is easy to farm, all of her materials have a 20% drop rate, meaning that you will likely have to run these dungeons multiple times.
Alternatively, you can unlock Descendants by purchasing them in the Shop. This method only requires Caliber, an in-game currency that you can buy with real money. Purchasing Sharen in the Shop instantly unlocks the Descendant, allowing you to skip the item requirements and research time.

"An assassin-type melee dealer with Electric Arche. Using camouflage, she can close the distance to her enemies whenever she desires, and ambush enemies anytime, anywhere." |
DEF | Max Shield | Shield Recovery | Max MP | Max HP |

Skill | Type Effect |

Assassinator | Damage increases when attacking enemy that is not attacking Sharen. Killing enemies with a skill in Ambush state resets cooldown for Active Camouflage. |
Skill | Type Effect |
---|---|
Cutoff Beam |
Fusion Attacks enemy with electric blade to deal damage and inflict them with Electrocute effect. |
Active Camouflage |
Dimension Hides from enemies. When attacking or using skills, Active Camouflage state ends immediately, regardless of time remaining. When Active Camouflage state ends, Sharen enters Ambush mode, increasing damage of the next attack. |
Impact Rounds |
Dimension Launches built-in explosives forward from the arm to stun enemies. |
Flash Shortsword |
Fusion Targets enemies within aiming range, and throws multiple knives to attack them. Knives explode to inflict enemies with damage and Electrocute effect. |
From the planning stage, this experimental full-body prosthetic technology was controversial. The Arche Drive was originally designed to replace lost body parts, so the idea of attaching it to the entire body raised ethical concerns about prolonging the suffering of the wounded, who were effectively dead, to utilize them as weapons of war. But for Sharen, this was a minor concern. Rather, she was constantly demanding physically taxing heavy weapons, new technologies and firmware upgrades, controlling her body prosthetic with only her Arche and sheer willpower.
