Overview

Lightning Erudition carry who builds Lightning-Lord hit count and speed through his own Skill and Ultimate.

Role

Follow-up AoE main DPS.

Playstyle

Skill every turn, Ultimate before Lightning-Lord acts when possible, and use action-advance supports to build high hit count without losing summon timing.

Why It Works

Jing Yuan's actions stack Lightning-Lord; action advance and energy support decide whether the summon reaches its strongest turns.

Watch For

Crowd control on Jing Yuan delays Lightning-Lord, and missed Skill turns sharply reduce its hit count.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Use Skill to add two Lightning-Lord hits and Ultimate to add three before the summon acts. Check its position and hit count before advancing Jing Yuan or Lightning-Lord. Cleanse Crowd Control before the summon loses its opportunity to act.

Key Notes

  • Lightning-Lord starts at three hits, caps at ten, and resets after its action.

  • Battalia Crush grants extra CRIT DMG at six or more hits.

  • Jing Yuan's Basic does not add Lightning-Lord hits.

  • Do not assume every Action Advance support can advance the summon itself.

  • Lightning-Lord's random primary targets can spread damage across surviving enemies.

Build & Investment

Light Cones

Primary

Before Dawn

Adds CRIT DMG and Skill/Ultimate damage. Skill or Ultimate prepares an additional damage bonus for the next follow-up.

Alternative

Geniuses' Repose

ATK is unconditional; the CRIT DMG buff requires Jing Yuan to defeat an enemy and lasts three turns.

Alternative

The Seriousness of Breakfast

Adds damage, while ATK stacks require enemy defeats by the wearer. It starts below its full kill-stacked effect.

Relics

Primary

The Ashblazing Grand Duke

Lightning-Lord's multiple follow-up hits build ATK stacks. Existing stacks reset at the next follow-up.

Alternative

Band of Sizzling Thunder

An existing four-piece set supplies Lightning damage and a one-turn ATK buff after Skill. Keep its timing aligned with Lightning-Lord.

Planars

Alternative

Inert Salsotto

Reach 50% in-combat CRIT Rate for Ultimate and follow-up damage.

Meet the support turn order first, then balance CRIT with War Marshal and support buffs included. Add ATK after the timing works.

Eidolon Investment

E0 contains Lightning-Lord's full hit-building loop. Improve summon timing, buff coverage and cleansing before adding copies.

Before Dawn supports both Jing Yuan's setup attacks and Lightning-Lord. The alternatives preserve the summon loop but need their kill-based bonuses assessed against the encounter.

E1

Lightning-Lord's damage multiplier against adjacent enemies increases by another 25% of the primary-target multiplier. This affects splash damage.

E2

After Lightning-Lord acts, Jing Yuan's Basic, Skill and Ultimate damage increase by 20% for two turns.

E4

Each Lightning-Lord hit restores two Energy to Jing Yuan.

E6

Each Lightning-Lord hit adds a 12% damage-taken increase to its target, up to three stacks, ending with that Lightning-Lord turn.

Teams

Sunday

Sunday advances Jing Yuan and Lightning-Lord together. Let Jing Yuan build hits before the advance and maintain The Beatified for Sunday's native Skill Point refund.

Robin

Robin buffs the attacking team and advances teammates, allowing more Jing Yuan actions. Her Ultimate does not directly say it advances Lightning-Lord.

Huohuo

Huohuo supplies healing, cleansing and Energy for Jing Yuan's Ultimate. Skill or Ultimate refreshes Divine Provision; reserve Skill Points when direct healing or a Skill refresh is needed.
