Video Summary
Welt's skill multiplier and proc frequency were significantly increased, boosting his raw damage output.
His ultimate now applies weightless for 2 turns, letting allies ignore CC/imprison on attacks and reducing enemy effective HP by 40% while weightless.
Eidolons matter: E2 improves support reliability and E4 (30% RES down) is the biggest power spike for team damage.
Best DPS relic is Pioneer; aim for high crit rate and balanced Energy Recharge to leverage his EHR→ATK conversion.
As a support, prioritize Energy Recharge and speed for consistent ult uptime; rotations and starting energy trace affect multi-wave performance.
Welt's skill base multiplier increased (216% → 360%) and now triggers extra hits, boosting talent procs. His ultimate now applies weightless for 2 turns, letting allies attack while ignoring CC/imprison and making weightless enemies effectively take ~40% more damage.
Under ideal conditions and with Eidolons, Welt's team damage can approach roughly 2.9× previous outputs. Even without idolons, his raw skill/talent multipliers rose substantially (skill-related totals went from ~396% to ~860% in the breakdown).
E2 is important for reliable support/energy behavior, but E4 is the biggest jump — it applies 30% resistance reduction to enemies while weightless and greatly amplifies team damage. E6 offers crit stats but is generally not build-defining.
Use Pioneer relics for maximum amp on debuff-centric damage. Prioritize crit rate (aim ~100% in combat), crit damage, and enough Energy Recharge to utilize his EHR→ATK conversion and maintain alt uptime.
As support, focus on Energy Recharge and speed so he can use his ultimate reliably; post-Nova the alt energy trace changed (starting 30 energy, later alt energy reduced), so plan rotations carefully and consider E2 for two-turn alt rotations.
"Welt has received substantial changes that affect all aspects of his kit."
The skill modifications have increased the base multiplier from 216% to 360%, effectively enhancing his damage potential significantly. This shift from a 1.67x to a 2.67x increase allows him to hit more targets and trigger additional multipliers more efficiently.
Welt's ultimate ability, previously known for being easily resisted, now includes a bypass mechanic that applies the weightless status to enemies for two turns. This not only enhances his attacking strategy but also provides allies with the advantage of delayed attacks, which can strategically ignore crowd control effects.
The weightless status boasts additional benefits, such as reducing enemies' health by 40%, which amplifies team damage output significantly through scaling multipliers and supports survivability through small speed reductions.
"Welt has become a unit that can delay without the traditional downsides, making him significantly more viable."
His new abilities include a vulnerability buff for allies attacking weightless enemies, stacking up to ten times for a total of 100% added damage, providing a ramp-up effect rather than immediate power.
At the start of battle, Welt now gains 30 energy, facilitating immediate ultimates and giving him a solid boost in survivability and damage potential.
The changes to his idolons, particularly E4, significantly enhance his overall support and damage capabilities, making it essential for players to unlock these for optimal performance. The enhancements have transformed Welt’s role from merely a support character to a formidable damage dealer, especially at higher idolon levels.
"His damage has notably increased, making previously unusable builds now viable."
Welt’s change in dynamics allows for a team composition with characters that synergize effectively, showcasing a significant damage increase when paired with characters like Sunday and Sparkle.
Through simulations, it has been found that his damage output can now reach nearly three times that of his previous state at idolon zero, making him a competitive unit in damage dealing.
His overall damage amplification has improved notably from a minimal increase to a much larger scale, effectively allowing him to fulfill roles that manage both sustained damage and support.
"For a damage-focused build, the Pioneer set remains the top choice for debuffing DPS."
The Pioneer set effectively amplifies damage for debuffing DPS, with the Quantum set being a suitable alternative under specific circumstances.
In terms of main stats, players should aim for a crit chest and speed boots if using a minus one setup, or attack boots otherwise, with an orb focusing on damage or attack based on team dynamics.
Players should prioritize relic main stats that contribute to maximizing Welt's damage capabilities while managing other stats efficiently, ensuring a well-rounded build tailored for specific combat scenarios.
"Aim for as high a crit rate as possible in combat, ideally 100%."
Welt's attack stats can reach approximately 2.5k plus the attack base, allowing for a crit ratio that significantly boosts damage output.
It's crucial to collaborate with teammates to enhance your crit damage, supporting a high crit rate during battles.
The decision between building for damage or Energy Restoration (EHR) remains a challenge, as indicated by the new EHR conversion trace not resolving this dilemma.
"Getting up to 80% EHR without an EHR cone or chest is a tall task."
Achieving 80% EHR becomes difficult without the right equipment, serving as a primary goal for players focusing on debuffing capabilities rather than as a necessary threshold.
Welt's effectiveness in combat can still shine through teamwork, where saturation from supports can elevate his overall damage, particularly by using specific relic setups.
"When opting for support, you either run two P speed combos or another damage unit."
To maximize Welt's role as a support character, prioritize equipping him with speed and EHR while sacrificing direct damage output to maintain consistent alt usage for his team.
Although hybrid builds are possible, they complicate stat balancing, often proving less beneficial than a pure support approach.
"Pick your hyper carry that works with what Welt provides."
Selecting effective team compositions around Welt emphasizes the need to identify a hyper carry that synergizes well with his attack percent buffs.
Players at higher Idola levels, particularly E4 onwards, should leverage Welt's strengths to back up powerful carries or synergistic DPS characters within their squad.
"With three skills available, Welt can use any cone and still maintain some energy."
Players can navigate energy management through strategic use of skills, allowing for effective two-turn alt rotations if the right circumstances are met.
Careful consideration of energy points is essential, especially post-E2, where interactions with multiple enemies can amplify energy recovery and performance in battle.
