Iansan Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: Support

For the Electro Buffer Support setup, equip Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (Sanctum of Rainbow Spirits) with ATK% or Energy Recharge Sands, ATK% Goblet, and ATK% Circlet. Symphonist of Scents (CRIT DMG) is the top recommended weapon, while Tamayuratei no Ohanashi serves as a reliable accessible alternative.
