Overview
Lightning Destruction carry who spends HP instead of Skill Points and gains damage as his health falls.
Role
Skill Point-neutral low-HP damage dealer.
Playstyle
Let Arlan spend HP through Skill, keep him protected rather than fully healed, and use Ultimate on clustered or priority targets inside support buffs.
Why It Works
Arlan can Skill without consuming team Skill Points, but his damage bonus asks him to remain injured without being knocked out.
Watch For
Uncontrolled chip damage can kill him, while frequent healing reduces the low-HP bonus that compensates for his risk.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Keep a shield on Arlan, then use Skill to spend HP while leaving the team's Skill Points for supports. Cast Ultimate while buffs are active and the chosen enemy has useful adjacent targets. Refresh protection before the next enemy attack.
Key Notes
Skill consumes 15% of Max HP but cannot reduce Arlan below 1 HP by its own cost.
Talent's damage bonus increases as his missing-HP percentage rises; his attacks still scale with ATK.
At E2, Skill or Ultimate removes one debuff, but Arlan must be able to use the ability.
A low HP bar is useful only while he survives; protect him before chasing maximum Talent bonus.
Extra actions can expire shields faster, and shields do not remove existing damage-over-time debuffs.
Build & Investment
Light Cones
Primary
On the Fall of an Aeon
Attacks build ATK stacks. Its extra damage bonus requires Arlan to inflict Weakness Break.
Alternative
A Secret Vow
Adds damage, with another bonus against enemies whose current HP percentage is at least Arlan's. His low-HP playstyle helps meet that condition.
Relics
Primary
Scholar Lost in Erudition
Increases Skill and Ultimate damage, including an extra bonus for the next Skill after Ultimate.
Alternative
Band of Sizzling Thunder
Adds Lightning damage and grants ATK for one turn after Skill, fitting repeated Skill use.
Planars
Alternative
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
Adds ATK and damage at 135 or 160 SPD. Reach a useful tier through the actual rotation rather than sacrificing protection.

Secure the planned action order, then balance CRIT and ATK. Check that added turns remain compatible with shield duration.
Eidolon Investment
E0 has the HP-spending loop. E2 improves debuff handling and E6 improves Ultimate output; neither replaces a reliable shield plan.
Aeon supplies ATK, while A Secret Vow rewards the low-HP condition; survival support matters more than a premium cone.
E1
At 50% HP or lower, Skill deals 10% more damage.
E2
Skill or Ultimate removes one debuff from Arlan. It cannot rescue an action he is unable to take.
E4
For the first two turns of battle, one killing blow instead restores Arlan to 25% Max HP. The effect expires after triggering or after that opening window.
E6
At 50% HP or lower, Ultimate deals 20% more damage and its adjacent-target multiplier matches the main target.
Teams
Recommended Teammates
Aventurine
Aventurine shields Arlan without restoring the HP that fuels his Talent. Keep the shield refreshed before its absorption or turn duration runs out.
Gepard
Gepard supplies shields without healing Arlan. His Ultimate access must keep pace with Arlan's actions and incoming damage.
Bronya
Bronya can spend Skill Points to advance Arlan because his own Skill costs HP. Extra actions still use shield duration, so coordinate with the shielder.
