Gilberta's Best Essences

Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the damage of your Gilberta. Which area and essence you will want to farm will depend on the weapon you are playing, as not all Essences are compatible with every weapon. Essences will increase the stats of your weapon, as well as enhance the passive effect it provides.

  • Delivery Guaranteed: Will, Ultimate Gain Boost, and Pursuit, farmable in The Hub and Originium Science Park.
  • Opus: Etch Figure: Will, Nature DMG Boost, and Suppression, farmable in The Hub, Originium Science Park, and Origin Lodespring.
  • Chivalric Virtues: Will, HP Boost, and Medicant, farmable in Power Plateau and Wuling City.
  • Monaihe: Will, Ultimate Gain Boost, and Inspiring, farmable in Originium Science Park.
  • Fluorescent Roc: Will, Attack Boost, and Suppression, farmable in The Hub and Originium Science Park.

Essences can be further upgraded through a system called Etching which will be a long-term investment due to how much Sanity it takes to fully max out a weapon. You may therefore want to farm and Etch Essences for a signature weapon already if you plan on getting it in the near-future, even if you do not have the weapon yet. A simple +1/+1/+1 Essence for a temporary weapon like Monaihe will be good enough until you can get your hands on Gilberta's Delivery Guaranteed or Opus: Etch Figure.

Leveling Gear for Gilberta

While the above gear set is the optimal choice, it might take you some time before you will be able to craft it. Below are some of the more early and mid-game sets that we recommend until you've reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

Catastrophe
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Ultimate Gain Efficiency +20%.
The wearer casts a battle skill, the action returns 50 SP. This effect only triggers 1 time per battle.
This set will last Gilberta through the rest of Chapter 1, providing improved Arts Intensity and Ultimate Gain Efficiency.

Gilberta's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: Arcane Staff: Gravity Field > Arcane Staff: Gravity Mode > Arcane Staff: Matrix Displacement > Arcane Staff: Beam Cohesion Arts

Gilberta focuses heavily on the damage buffs provided by her Ultimate, followed by the crowd control of her Battle and Combo Skills. Her last priority should be her Basic Attack, as she doesn't favor being a controlled Operator.

How to Play Gilberta

Gilberta is a Supporter that specializes in providing damage buffs and resources for other party members. Use her skills to generate Nature Infliction, group up enemies for AoE damage, apply Vulnerable stacks, and apply an intense Arts Susceptibility debuff to the target, so that her fellow Arts users can collapse on them and turn them to atoms!
