Early Game Builds

Early Gearing Guide

Best Build

The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.

Best Shells

For every 3 actions accumulated by enemy units, increases the owner's Turn Meter by 35%, and can be triggered up to 1 times per turn.

Grants the wearer a 35% gauge boost for every 3 enemy actions that occur, once per turn. A solid choice for Supports in content that sees multiple enemies acting per one turn of the wearer. Loses value against singular enemies or enemies that move slowly or not at all (due to control effects).

Allows Chiaki to more easily keep pace with absurdly fast PVE enemies while also having strong utility in PVP to cut in on enemy Turn Orders. Unfortunately cannot run a 6P Speed Inferno set.

Best Module Sets:

12 set:
Swiftrush [12/12]
>
8 set:
Cure [8/8]
>
Strive [8/8]
>
Wellspring [8/12]
>
6 set:
Evolguard [6/6]
>
Etherplague [6/6]
>

Before the main body acts, it increases its [DEF] by 700 for 2 turns, and applies a [Shield] equal to 400% of its own [DEF] to the main body Animus, and the Animus ally with the lowest current HP percentage for 2 turns.

Cannot stack with similar effects applied by other Shells. In PvP modes, the applied shield amount equals 300% of self DEF to the host Animus and ally with the lowest HP percentage.

Grants the wearer 700 DEF for 2 turns, as well as applying a sizable shield to an ally for 2 turns. It has a 1-turn initial cooldown, but after that, it will maintain the 700 DEF buff 66% of the time and keep the shield active often. Primarily used on dedicated DEF scalers.

Grants Chiaki with an exceptional personal defense while also granting another team mate a huge 2 turn Shield improving your teams survivability dramatically. However, using this Shell will come at the cost of being able to use a 6P Speed Inferno set.

Best Module Sets:

12 set:
Swiftrush [12/12]
>
8 set:
Bramble [8/8]
>
Strive [8/8]
>
Unbreakable [8/12]
>
6 set:
Colossguard [6/6]
>
Etherplague [6/6]

Before the owner takes action, empowers the owner Animus to increase their healing by 35% for 2 turn(s). If the healed target's HP Percentage is below 75%, additionally applies a 1-turn [Heal Over Time] to them.

An alternative healing choice to Fortissimo that grants a 35% healing output boost buff and causes their healing abilities to apply a 1-turn heal over time on allies healed below 75%. The heal over time heals for 15% of the target's max HP. Offers more active bonuses than Fortissimo.

If your Chiaki is struggling to keep the team alive or you have to counter a heal based mechanic like Aurora's Cursed Shield this Shell will be Chiaki's best choice.

Best Module Sets:

12 set:
Swiftrush [12/12]
>
8 set:
Cure [8/8]
>
Bulwark [8/8]
>
Wellspring [8/12]
>
6 set:
Evolguard [6/6]
>
Colossguard [6/6]

After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.

Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.

A top tier option for Chiaki when played in teams that don't already have easy access to a Speed buff from characters like Lily. Will allow Chiaki to cycle much more quickly while also having excellent Speed based Matrix Set options. However, this Shell loses much of its potency if its Speed buff is already provided for.

Specialist Shells

Below you can find some alternative Shells you can use - though it's mainly for PVP scenarios.

Before the owner takes action, if the owner has any debuffs, dispels 3 debuff(s) and increases their Effect RES by 25% for every 1 debuff(s) dispelled, lasting for 2 turn(s).

A PVP-focused shell option offering a 2-turn debuff cleanse and up to 50% Effect RES at turn start with a 4-turn cooldown. A solid option for characters who need to ensure they aren’t taken out of the fight by stuns, freezes, or other debilitating effects on their opening turn.

Triggers when the main body takes DMG greater than 25% of Max HP within a turn, healing the main body for 25% Max HP and increasing Turn Meter progress by 35%.

A strong personal sustain option for characters, granting them a 25% max HP restore and 25% gauge boost upon taking hits within a single turn greater than 25% of their max HP (on a 2-turn cooldown). Has situational use in PVE but shines the most in PVP, granting your teams extra healing and gauge boost on a semi-frequent cooldown.

When the owner Animus is about to die, halves their current Turn Meter, removes all effects on them, recovers 60% of their Max HP, and puts them into a 1-turn [Iced] state.,

The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.

Allows the wearer to cheat death once every 6 turns. Upon dying, they will instead recover 60% HP and enter a special state, becoming immune to turn meter reductions, debuffs, buffs, and also gaining 200% increased DEF until the start of their next turn. A powerful option for keeping vulnerable high-value units alive in PVP.

Best Stats

Main Stat 1

HP% = DEF%

Main Stat 2

HP% = DEF%

Main Stat 3

HP% = DEF%

Substats:

SPD (Until Desired) > HP% = DEF% > HP = DEF

Stat comments

Chiaki has three stats to pay attention to across gear:

SPD: SPD is the most important stat for all supportive characters. Moving first and cycling faster is one of the key difference makers in being able to beat the hardest PVE content in the game and dominate PVP.
HP & DEF%: Both HP and DEF are important to build, HP gives you a higher maximum hit and better one shot protection, especially when DEF down is present but DEF scales better with certain Shells as well as Shields. A combination of both also works well unless your shell or the encounter calls for one or the other.
Effect RES: Allows you to have a higher chance at resisting incoming debuffs allowing you to get lucky. A useful stat but not one to specifically chase.

Shell Passives

Slot 1

DEF% = HP% > HP = DEF

Slot 2

SPD = Healing Done

Slot 3

DMG (Synergy) > DMG Taken (Defensive Stance) > DMG Taken

Passive comments

Slot 1: Choose one of HP or DEF that suits the style of play and build you're aiming for.
Slot 2: Speed is generally best but Healing% can also be a valid and sometimes even more powerful choice, especially in fights where raw healing has high value like Aurora.
Slot 3: Synergy is great on any healer as it allows them to boost the damage their party members will deal by simply healing them. If you don't need that, you can focus instead of improving the survivability by getting the DMG Taken talents.
