Stat guide

Stat goals to aim for

Live-data starting targets, not hard requirements.

Aim toward

85–95% CRIT Rate in a fully built comparison setup
220–240% CRIT DMG
2,250–2,400 ATK
Around 122% Energy Regen for the modeled rotation
ATK% 1-costs; use ATK% or Aero DMG 3-costs for S1+ 4-3-3-1-1, with 4-4-1-1-1 as the S0 fallback

These are practical live-data targets. Qingxiao's Mindlock, Tune Strain, weapon stacks, Sequence effects, and team buffs can move the final balance.
