Argenti's Best Light Cone

Listed below are the Light Cones we recommend for Argenti.

Into the Unreachable Veil

Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases the wearer's Skill DMG and Ultimate DMG dealt by 60.0 / 70.0 / 80.0 / 90.0 / 100%, lasting for 3 turn(s). After the wearer uses their Ultimate, if this Ultimate consumed 140 or more Energy, recovers 1 Skill Point.

Argenti's BiS is the 5-star Into the Unreachable Veil Light Cone. This Light Cone increases his Crit Rate, and after using his Ultimate, it further increases the damage dealt by his Skill and Ultimate by 60% for 3 turns. If 140 or more Energy is consumed when using his Ultimate this way, 1 Skill Point is recovered. The Crit Rate provided this way helps with his overall stats, allowing you to focus on other important stats such as Crit DMG or ATK.

An Instant Before A Gaze

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 36.0 / 42.0 / 48.0 / 54.0 / 60.0%. When the wearer uses Ultimate, increases DMG dealt by the wearer's Ultimate based on their Max Energy. Each point of Energy increases DMG dealt by Ultimate by 0.36 / 0.42 / 0.48 / 0.54 / 0.6%. A max of 180 points of Energy will be taken into account for this.

An Instant Before A Gaze is Argenti's signature Light Cone. It's one of his strongest Light Cone options as it increases his Crit DMG, and after he uses his Ultimate, the Ultimate's damage is further increased based on his Max Energy. This scales up to 180 Energy max, with each point of Energy increasing Ultimate damage by 0.36% (0.36% x 180 Energy = 64.8% damage).

Before Dawn

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 36.0 / 42.0 / 48.0 / 54.0 / 60.0%. Increases DMG dealt by the wearer's Skill and Ultimate by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0%. After the wearer uses Skill or Ultimate, gains "Somnus Corpus." Upon triggering a Follow-Up ATK, consumes "Somnus Corpus," and increases DMG dealt by Follow-Up ATK by 48.0 / 56.0 / 64.0 / 72.0 / 80.0%.

Before Dawn is another excellent choice for Argenti if you want to increase his overall damage output and Crit DMG. This Light Cone increases his Crit DMG while also increasing the damage dealt by his Skill and Ultimate.

Today Is Another Peaceful Day

After entering battle, increases the wearer's DMG based on their Max Energy. Each point of Energy increases DMG by 0.2 / 0.25 / 0.3 / 0.35 / 0.4%. A max of 160 Energy will be taken into account for this.

Another good option for Argenti is Today Is Another Peaceful Day. When entering battle, this Light Cone increases Argenti's damage based on his max Energy, with each point of Energy granting a 0.20% damage increase up to 160 Energy total. This is another good way of increasing Argenti's damage output based on his Energy scaling.

A Dream Scented in Wheat

Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. The Ultimate DMG and Follow-Up ATK DMG dealt by the wearer increase by 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0 / 36.0 / 40.0%.

Sources: Nameless Glory

This 4-star Light Cone increases Argenti's Crit Rate by 12% at S1 and 20% at S5, as well as increasing his Ultimate damage by 24% at S1 and 40% at S5. This is a good way of gaining extra Crit Rate should you need it. While it is not as powerful as some of his stronger Light Cone options, it is still a solid choice.

The Seriousness of Breakfast

Increases the wearer's DMG by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%. For every enemy defeated by the wearer, the wearer's ATK increases by 4.0 / 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0%, stacking up to 3 time(s).

Sources: Mission Reward, Forgotten Hall Store, Echo of War

This 4-star Light Cone increases Argenti's DMG by 12% and for each enemy defeated his ATK increases by 4% up to 3 times for a total of 12%. This Light Cone is a free to play option while also providing him with decent ATK and DMG stat increases.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Argenti

Best Relics for Argenti

These are the best Relic sets for Argenti.

Eagle of Twilight Line

2-Piece Set: Increases Wind DMG by 10.0%.

4-Piece Set: After the wearer uses their Ultimate, their action is Advanced Forward by 25.0%.

Argenti's BiS 4-piece set when he isn't in a team with another action advancer is Eagle of Twilight Line. Although the 2-piece will not trigger as he isn't a Wind character, the 4-piece provides Argenti with action advancement after using his Ultimate. As Argenti uses his Ultimate very frequently, this will trigger this set often and allow him to attack more and hit his breakpoints.

Scholar Lost in Erudition

2-Piece Set: Increases CRIT Rate by 8.0%.

4-Piece Set: Increases DMG dealt by Skill and Ultimate by 20.0%. After using Ultimate, additionally increases the DMG dealt by the next Skill by 25.0%.

The 2-piece of this set provides increased Crit Rate by 8% and the 4-piece will increase the damage dealt by Argenti's Skill and Ultimate by 20%. After he uses his Ultimate, the damage dealt by the next Skill is increased by 25%. The 2-piece helps meet the Crit stats for his overall build, whereas the 4-piece increases his overall damage and main damage sources.

Wavestrider Captain

2-Piece Set: Increases CRIT DMG by 16.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer becomes the target of another ally target's ability, gains 1 stack of "Help," stacking up to 2 time(s). If there are 2 stack(s) of "Help" when the wearer uses their Ultimate, consumes all "Help" to increase the wearer's ATK by 48.0% for 1 turn(s).

Wavestrider Captain is another good option for Argenti as it increases his overall Crit DMG by 16%. In addition to this extra Crit DMG, when an ally targets Argenti and uses an ability, he will gain "help", stacking up to 2 times. If 2 stacks are available when he uses his Ultimate, his ATK is increased by 48% for a turn. This is perfect for Argenti as he frequently uses his Ultimate and any source of increased damage benefits him greatly.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing

2-Piece Set: Increases Physical DMG by 10.0%.

4-Piece Set: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their ATK increases by 5.0% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to 5 time(s).

Champion of Streetwise Boxing is another 4-piece set Argenti can benefit from. The 2-piece provides him with increased Physical damage, and the 4-piece increases his ATK by up to 25% after he gets hit or attacks an enemy. This buff lasts for the rest of the battle. If you don't have the previously mentioned 4-piece sets, this can work well in place of them.

Best Planar Ornaments

Inert Salsotto

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 8.0%. When the wearer's current CRIT Rate reaches 50.0% or higher, the DMG dealt by the wearer's Ultimate and Follow-Up ATK increases by 15.0%.

Inert Salsotto is Argenti's most recommended Planar Ornament as it increases his Crit Rate by 8%, and when his Crit Rate reaches 50% or more, damage from his Ultimate is increased by a further 15%. This provides extra Crit Rate for his overall build and gives his frequently used Ultimate extra damage.

Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 4.0%. When an enemy target gets defeated, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 4.0%, stacking up to 10 time(s).

Sigonia is a great Planar Ornament set that provides Argenti with increased Crit Rate by 4%, and when an enemy is defeated, it increases his Crit DMG by 4%, which can stack up to 10 times for a total of 40% Crit DMG (4% Crit DMG x 10 stacks), making it very strong. This is recommended mainly when using Argenti in endgame modes such as Pure Fiction, as you will need to defeat multiple enemies to get the most out of it.

Firmament Frontline: Glamoth

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's ATK by 12.0%. When the wearer's SPD is equal to or higher than 135/160, the wearer deals 12.0%/18.0% more DMG.

If you want to gain extra ATK across all his damage sources, then Firmament is a good choice, providing him with a 12% increase. If you build Argenti's Speed to relevant breakpoints, which you will in most cases, you will also gain a further 12% increased damage, or 18% if his Speed reaches 160.

Argenti Build Comments

Character Overview Kit Overview

Character Overview

Argenti is a Physical character following the Path of Erudition. He is a very strong DPS who focuses on dealing AoE damage through his Ultimates. Argenti is considered to be one of the best characters to use in the endgame mode Pure Fiction due to the large amounts of AoE damage he produces and his Crit Rate bonuses. Although he doesn't thrive in single-target fights, he is still a solid damage dealer for many teams.

Kit Overview

Argenti's kit and Traces play an important role in how he performs in battle. His kit could be considered fairly simple and easy to understand, but his abilities should not be underestimated, as he is a very strong damage dealer. Argenti's Skill alone deals 120% damage based on his ATK to all enemies rather than a single target, which is impressive in itself.

When looking at where the majority of his power comes from, it is undoubtedly his Ultimates. Argenti has two Ultimates, each costing a different amount of Energy and dealing varying levels of damage. His lower cost Ultimate consumes 90 Energy and still deals a respectable amount of overall damage considering its cost. Meanwhile, his second Ultimate consumes 180 Energy and deals significantly higher damage to all enemies, while also triggering an additional 6 instances of damage equal to 95% of his ATK against random single targets, making it far more potent.
Due to the large amount of Energy consumed by his Ultimates, Argenti performs best in teams with supports that can regenerate Energy quickly, allowing him to maintain consistent Ultimate uptime.

Argenti's Talent also plays an important role in his kit. His Talent grants "Apotheosis", which increases his Crit Rate by 2.5% per stack up to a maximum of 10 stacks, for a total increase of 25% Crit Rate. This makes the Talent extremely valuable. In addition to increasing his Crit Rate, the Talent also regenerates 3 Energy for every enemy hit.
Another noteworthy part of his kit is his Eidolons. For example, his E4, Trumpet's Dedication, synergises with his Talent by immediately granting 2 stacks of Apotheosis and increasing the stack limit from 10 to 12. This raises the maximum Crit Rate bonus from 25% to 30%.

Argenti's Technique is also useful. Enemies within a set area are inflicted with "Daze" for 10 seconds, leaving them unable to attack allies. When combat begins, enemies affected by Daze take an additional 80% Physical DMG and Argenti regenerates 15 Energy, which further helps maintain uptime on his Ultimates.

Argenti's Best Eidolons

E6 – Argenti ignores 30% of an enemy's DEF when using his Ultimate. This is especially valuable because maintaining consistent Ultimate uptime is crucial to his playstyle. Ignoring enemy DEF allows Argenti to deal significantly more damage during his attacks, helping defeat enemies more quickly.
E1 – For every stack of Apotheosis, his Crit DMG is increased by 4%.
E4 – Argenti gains 2 stacks of Apotheosis at the start of battle, and the stack limit for his Talent is increased by 2, from 10 to 12.
E2 – If there are 3 or more enemies on the field when Argenti uses his Ultimate, his ATK is increased by 40% for a turn.
