How to build Deacon Armstrong

Gear

  • HP% or DEF% chest and gloves — its support skills do not scale with its stats, so build it to survive and to be fast.
  • Speed boots, and SPD in every substat you can get — gear without SPD is not worth upgrading early.
  • It places debuffs, so it needs ACC in its substats for them to land.

Role: Support · damage scales with ATK

Books and ascension

Takes 13 skill books to max. 3 of them cut a cooldown — book A2 and A3 first.
