Best Fan Substats

Recommended Substats

Recommended Substats for Umbrella
Max HP
★★★★★
Max HP is the most important substat for Umbrella builds, since this substat alone can help you soak in more damage when you're hit, and when paired with high defense, makes you a nearly unkillable support unit that can bring your team to the next level.
Defense
★★★★★
Another useful substat for Umbrella builds is Defense, which lets you mitigate more damage, thereby prolonging your and your team's survivability.
Attack | Silkbind ATK DMG
★★★★
If you want to supplement your damage output, and have maximized funneling priority to your Defense and Max HP, then we recommend going for Attack or Silkbind attack damage for your next substat. These two provide decent improvements to your damage output, which is helpful for most combat scenarios!
