This Overload (OL) Recommendations and Priority guide unravels in detail everything you need about a character in terms of priority, overload targets (effects), and order of acquisition, alongside some notes to explain our thinking process.
For OL targets and order of acquisition, we decided to divide the target effects into several categories.
Overload effects are ordered by importance from Left to Right, which means anything on the left provides more value than the right. Effects that belong to the same group generate too similar an impact to make a difference (and are sometimes interchangeable). Try to follow this order as faithfully as possible for maximum mileage.
Additional tips:
In terms of priority, we grade characters based on their performance in various content or game mode. Meta units should be prioritized because they hold a high amount of value; rerolling their effects is of the highest importance. Similarly, units of High priority should provide more value overall than units of Medium priority when it comes to to efficacy and return on investment. This does not necessarily mean units in lower categories are worse, but they might be less dependent on OL. For example, Dorothy is present in all Solo Raid runs and can be considered a staple, but she does not benefit from OL as much as Alice. On the contrary, Tove might not be seeing as much usage, but she would want OL to be less inconsistent.
The metrics are as follows:
The Priorities are as follows:
Sorting:
Notes
Niche for Fire Weak Bosses in Solo Raids, benefits greatly from Crit Damage since ATK is extremely diluted. 2B is also used in PvP as a nuker, where elemental damage can allow her to nuke high hp Wind Element units.
Notes
Niche for Bosses with parts in Solo Raids, can also be used in Campaign. A2 is also used in PvP, mostly for Burst Generation, where Charge Speed OL can help her greatly.
Notes
Depending on whether you use her as a DPS or a support, investments may not be required. Focus on ELE if DPS. Crit DMG is only with MirandaTr. Charge Speed is only for PvP RL breakpoints. 1~2× Max Ammo for burst gen may be strictly required by some comps in PvE.
Notes
Cleanse Mechanic can come into play sometimes.
Notes
Focus on building your DPS first before OLing Bunny Ade. 1-2 Ammo is needed for Burst Generation purposes in PvE content.
Notes
-
Notes
First priority when using Alice is to reach >99% Charge Speed in total from her Skill1 + Burst Skill + OL rolls. Alice reloads a lot due to her high rate of fire during her burst, and to minimise this problem we need Max Ammo OL on her. If you use Alice in infinite reload comps such as one with Crown or Maid Duo, 2 Ammo rolls can suffice. However, if you plan to use Alice elsewhere, it is ideal to have at least 3 Ammo Rolls for Alice.
Notes
Ammo OL for Alice helps increases uptime/consistency of Tove's S2.

Notes
RLs in PvP have the ability to reach Charge speed breakpoints, hence charge speed is a highly recommended target line for her.

Notes
Asuka: Wille is probably the best Wind DPS for bossing content. A must build unit for Kraken Anomaly Interception, which is the most commonly done interception. Around 165%~191% Max Ammo (3 lines with moderate values), with Bastion Cube Lv. 7+, Asuka will ONLY RELOAD after her own Burst ends (forced reload). This will tremendously increase her DPS because you don’t lose uptime outside this dead time.
Notes
CP Padding RLs in PvP have the ability to reach Charge speed breakpoints, hence charge speed is a highly recommended target line for her.
Notes
Max Ammo Rolls can help with Burst Generation in Raids, but not recommended to reroll this character. Does NOT need OL gear since she provides adequate healing already.

Crown provides Caster's ATK buffs. OL gear provides base ATK which means that Crown buffs DPS units better. Rerolling her lines is not recommended, just the initial 4 rocks should be enough. Some ammo does help with consistency and control of her taunt though.
Notes
Max Ammo Rolls can help with Burst Generation in Raids, but not recommended to reroll this character.

Notes
1 Ammo helps stabilise her CDR rotations, since it takes 8 ammo for one CDR proc from her Skill 2 and she has 6 base ammo. 1-2 Ammo is needed for Burst Generation purposes in PvE content.

Notes
Overload is not needed. Overload only if you use her Burst and desperately need the extra ATK stat from levels, or require her healing to trigger more via Max Ammo OL.
Notes
Ammo buffer for MG Units in Raids. Diesel needs Bastion Cube lv 7 + 180% Ammo Bonus from Overload gear to ensure she never reloads. If the MGs running with her also have Bastion Cube lv 7 + 180% Ammo on their Overload gear, they also will never reload!
Notes
Diesel only requires Max Ammo, the value of which depends on your Treasure's Phase. The amount of ammo will vary from 700 to 490, which is 133% ~ 88% ammo up. If we consider mid-value Ammo lines, with the help of a lvl7 Bastion cube, Diesel's ideal OL gear will need 2-3 Ammo.

Max Ammo Rolls can help with Burst Generation in Raids, but not recommended to reroll this character.

Emilia is the only PvP unit which we feel all PvP players should reroll on. It is a very critical gameplay change for PvP, since she can become the highest Burst Gen provider, even higher than jackal! Ideally reach >21% Charge Speed with her Skill 1 + OL rolls added together. Emilia is not only a unit for PvP, but also Niche for Bosses with parts in Solo Raids, or even Campaign. Hence, she can benefit from ATK and Elemental OL rolls. Max Ammo recommended to prioritize for when uptime is concerned.

Notes
Max Ammo helps make S1 Damage Distance buff more consistent. Niche DPS for Water Weak Bosses in Solo Raids.
Notes
Liberalio wants 2 lines foremost: ELE & ATK. Unlike with other units, ATK is particularly quite important for Liberalio because her only ATK buff is within the first 3s of every Full Burst.

Ammo is a must-have. Modernia doesn't want to reload, ever. Hit Rate is a niche roll for Modernia and can be ignored completely. There is only one situation where it comes into play and it is in Campaign, and only if you use Red Hood as Solo Burst 1 Unit, since there is a downtime between 2nd and 3rd Bursts where Modernia will not get the ATK buff from her Skill 2 otherwise. Crit Rate is also an okay roll but it is not ideal. It is ultimately better to get an Ammo, ATK, or Elemental roll for your Modernia.

Increases Base ATK stats to improve Caster's ATK Buff, no rerolling needed. Can act as a sub DPS against Wind Bosses. Warning: Since she is an Attacker with mainly a support role, Noir may steal buffs from the main B3s (e.g. if paired with Alice, she can steal her Skill 1).
Notes
Preferrably do NOT have Max Ammo For CP Padding + Small Boost in Survivability + Heals. For PvP, you want noise to reload so she can refresh her max hp buff and heal herself again from her skill 2. Hence, PvP players do not want Max Ammo on her OL. For PvE, there are no specific OL you need to focus on at all. Can be used against Bosses, where she can help the team's survivability. Can also be used to fill the Electric Element unit slot if needed in Raids.

Privaty has a last bullet mechanic, hence she ideally does not want Max Ammo OL gear, but it isn't something critical to her kit in the current meta so it can be ignored. It is also suggested to avoid ATK on Privaty's OL gear since it can lead to Privaty being the target of enemy attacks which target Highest ATK stat unit. This especially comes into play when using Privaty with Anis: Sparkling Summer, who is a support type Nikke, and hence has lower base ATK. It is ideal that Anis gets targeted over Privaty since she can heal back up quickly, and hence Privaty is a very low priority unit to OL.

If you only need to reload once every 20s, that's even better! Privaty: Unkind Maid is also used in PvP, where ATK > Elemental Damage. Only OL if you plan to build Meta Electric SG Team or for PvP

One of the top choices as B3 for Campaign. Be careful and avoid ammo counts that are not multiples of 4.

Getting ELE & ATK is crucial for damage, but ELE is more significant in Fire-weak. You can get 1-2× Max Ammo for burst gen and/or Crit Rate or Damage to further boost her damage slightly.
