What attribute is Arclight?

Arclight is a 5-star Electric operator of the Vanguard class, from Hannabit Circuit, wielding a Sword, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Arclight scale on?

Arclight's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Arclight?

Thermite Cutter is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Sword with 490 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Prominent Edge is the best 4-star alternative.

Which gear set should Arclight use?

Frontiers. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.

How much does it cost to max Arclight's skills?

Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× False Aggela among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, gear sets and Potential verdicts on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and condensed to a sentence each.

BISThermite Cutter

102.30% solo · 101.90% in team at P0

Thermite Cutter is Arclight's top weapon for team buffs despite a wasted WILL main stat, since its other passives and an easily sustained Weapon Effect, kept up through her spammable Combo Skill, make it the pick for most compositions.

#2OBJ Edge of Lightness

100.00% solo · 100.00% in team at P5

OBJ Edge of Lightness swaps Thermite Cutter's generic ATK% for Physical and Electric DMG% on SP recovery, often weaker even in matching teams since DMG% trails ATK%, though its Agility passives fit Arclight's kit better.

#3Twelve Questions

103.10% solo · 95.70% in team at P5

For a less support-focused Arclight, Twelve Questions is her strongest personal damage weapon, though only by a small margin over Thermite Cutter or OBJ.

#4Eminent Repute

97.40% solo · 94.10% in team at P0

Lacking the above options, Eminent Repute works as a stat stick for its strong passives, but Arclight cannot trigger its Weapon Effect.

#5Sundering Steel

84.20% solo · 80.90% in team at P5

Sundering Steel is another passive-stat stick she can't trigger the Weapon Effect on, weaker than Eminent Repute but worth equipping if nothing else is available.

Gear

CoreFrontiers

Frontiers is Arclight's best team set despite cutting her own damage, its three-piece keeps team-wide DMG% almost always active via Combo spam, and heavy Intellect pays off only when Wildland Trekker aligns with the team's burst.

3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. After the wearer's skill recovers SP, the team gains DMG +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.

Also works

BonekrushaBonekrusha suits a damage-focused Arclight who skips Frontiers' team buffs, adding personal damage via its damage-focused three-piece and gear pieces, though it needs optimal Stagger-window play or its performance drops notably.
