Overview
Physical Erudition carry whose Ultimate can be fired early or charged to a much stronger second energy tier.
Role
Energy-hungry AoE Ultimate main DPS.
Playstyle
Skill into full waves, use energy supports to reach the high-cost Ultimate, and release it during the team's strongest buffs unless an early cast secures a wave.
Why It Works
Hitting many enemies rapidly builds energy and Apotheosis CRIT stacks, making wave density the key to his strongest Ultimate.
Watch For
Spending energy on the low-tier Ultimate without a wave-clear reason can delay the high-tier burst that defines his ceiling.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Use Skill against populated waves to build Energy and Apotheosis. Choose the 90-Energy Ultimate if it clears the current wave usefully, or save for the 180-Energy version when its larger opening hit and six extra hits matter. Align the chosen cast with support buffs.
Key Notes
Talent restores Energy per enemy hit and builds Apotheosis CRIT Rate stacks.
The 180-Energy Ultimate's six extra hits choose random enemies; a lone target receives the remaining hits.
Generosity restores Energy as enemies enter combat.
Do not spend 90 Energy automatically when the next 180-Energy cast is needed for a durable target.
Do not wait for 180 Energy when a cheaper cast would finish the wave and preserve useful actions.

Light Cones
Alternative
An Instant Before A Gaze
Adds CRIT DMG and scales Ultimate damage with maximum Energy, counting up to 180 Energy.
Primary
Into the Unreachable Veil
For a team built around the 180-Energy Ultimate. Ultimate grants a temporary Skill and Ultimate damage buff. The Skill Point refund needs at least 140 Energy consumed, so only Argenti's 180-Energy cast qualifies.
Alternative
Eternal Calculus
Multi-target hits build ATK; hitting at least three enemies also grants a temporary SPD buff. Check timing as enemy count falls.
Relics
Primary
Scholar Lost in Erudition
Boosts Skill and Ultimate damage, and strengthens the next Skill after Ultimate.
Alternative
Champion of Streetwise Boxing
Physical damage and ATK stacks from attacking or being hit support both Skill and Ultimate.

Primary
Inert Salsotto
Reach 50% in-combat CRIT Rate for its Ultimate damage bonus, including Apotheosis as it builds.
Situational
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation
For repeated enemy defeats across waves. Its CRIT DMG builds through kills rather than starting at full stacks.

Meet the selected support timing first, then balance CRIT including Apotheosis and add ATK. Do not add SPD solely to meet a universal target.
Eidolon Investment
E0 includes both Ultimate costs and the Energy-per-target Talent. Improve the team's Energy supply and wave timing before choosing further personal investment.
An Instant Before A Gaze reinforces Ultimate damage using Argenti's maximum Energy. Into the Unreachable Veil has a different resource benefit tied specifically to the expensive Ultimate.
E1
Each Apotheosis stack also grants 4% CRIT DMG, rewarding a built-up stack count.
E2
Using Ultimate while at least three enemies are present grants 40% ATK for one turn. It is not a single-target boss bonus.
E4
Begins battle with two Apotheosis stacks and raises the maximum stack count by two.
E6
Ultimate ignores 30% of enemy DEF.
Teams
Recommended Teammates
Tingyun
Tingyun supplies targeted Energy, ATK and damage buffs. Check Argenti's current Energy before using her Ultimate to avoid wasting restoration.
Sunday
Sunday advances Argenti and restores Energy with Ultimate. Keep Argenti as The Beatified for Sunday's native Skill Point refund and account for the carry's extra Skill use.
Huohuo
Huohuo heals and restores teammates' Energy based on their maximum Energy. Her healing Skills still need a share of the team's Skill Points.
