Augusta’s best weapons
Augusta uses a set of weapons, including 5-star and 4-star mains. Though most of them are pulled by equipping through playing, there are some gacha weapons as well. However, we always recommend using the basic built-in sets. Here’s an overview of her weapon variety.
Thunderflare Dominion
Augusta uses Thunderflare Dominion as her signature weapon, which is a 5-star rare. The weapon shares synergy with her kit. Though all her 5-star weapons deal a similar damage, Thunderflare has an ATK of 675 and a 12.1% Crit Rate. Casting Intro Skill or Resonance Skill increases Heavy Attack DMG by 20% for 15s.
Obtaining Shield allows Heavy Attack DMG to ignore 7.2% of the target’s DEF for 7s, stacking up to 5 times. This effect is triggered once every 0.5s. Why is it special? Because
Verdant Summit
This one is as strong as her signature weapon, another 5-star. You can definitely equip it if you have it. Verdant Summit increases the DMG Bonus of all Resonance Attributes by 12%. Every time Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation is cast, it increases Heavy Attack DMG Bonus by 24%, stacking up to 2 times. This effect lasts for 14s.
Ages of Harvest
Though not spoken much, the Ages of Harvest are a divine blessing. It grants a heavy Attribute DMG Bonus. Casting Intro Skill will provide the Ageless Marking that grants up to 48% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 12s. Casting Resonance Skill gives you Ethereal Endowment, which grants the same 48% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 12s.
Lustrous Razor
This one is gacha, a 5-star with a base 587 base ATK. The bonus stat ATK is 36.4%. As from the gacha system, it is not often equipped, so it is talked less about. Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When Resonance Skill is released, it increases Resonance Liberation DMG by 7%, stacking up to 3 times. This effect lasts for 12s.
Aureate Zenith
Casting Resonance Liberation increases ATK by 7.2%/11.1%/15.1%/19%/23% and grants 10.8%/16.7%/22.6%/28.6%/34.5% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus for 15s. You know it, when the powerful weapons are there, you can carry them after some consideration.
Autumntra
The final 4-star weapon has the same ATK rate as the previous one. Increases ATK by up to 12.8% upon dealing Basic Attack DMG or Heavy Attack DMG, stacking up to 5 times. This effect lasts for 7s and can be triggered 1 time(s) every 1s.
