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. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the Potential and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, skill text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

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

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

2 sets

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 Arts Intensity +30. After the wearer applies Combustion, the wearer gains Heat DMG +50% for 10s. After the wearer applies Corrosion, the wearer gains Nature DMG +50% for 10s. The aforementioned effects 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.

Zhuang Fangyi’s Electrification raises the Arts damage the whole squad deals, so Perlica keeps a second Electric source ready for when Arclight’s own runs out. Arclight’s Ultimate alone covers 100 SP and 70 stagger, which is most of what the rotation costs.
