Wulfgard's Best Essences
Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the damage of your Wulfgard. 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.
- Rational Farewell: Strength, Heat DMG Boost, and Pursuit, farmable in The Hub and Power Plateau.
- Clannibal: Main Attribute, Arts DMG Boost, and Infliction, farmable in Originium Science Park.
- Wedge: Main Attribute, Critical Rate Boost, and Infliction, farmable in Wuling City.
- Long Road: Strength, Heat DMG Boost, and Pursuit, 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.

Wulfgard's Skill Priority
In every situation, Wulfgard's Battle Skill is his bread and butter, and he appreciates using his Combo Skill right alongside it. Prioritize those, then his Ultimate and Basic Attack. Depending on whether he's the favored Controlled Operator, his Basic should be improved before his Ultimate.
How to Play Wulfgard
Wulfgard will need to be paired with either an off-element Operator so he can apply Combustion, or another Heat Operator that is somehow capable of applying Combustion. That character will either apply Corruption or a different element Arts Infliction so that Wulfgard can use the bonus version of his Battle Skill or apply Combustion himself. The Combustion will also enable his Combo Skill for Heat Infliction.
