Drizzle Aeromancer Build Guide

Welcome to the Drizzle Aeromancer Build Guide! This build revolves around unleashing the forces of nature against your enemies with Weather Skills. This fills up the Raindrop Meter, allowing you to enter Sun Shower (Z) state which summons a powerful aura around you.

Drizzle Aeromancer can inflict reliable amounts of Stagger, and her Counter is often available. However, her Destruction capability is weak.

Warning

This build is optimized and meant to be used only in Kurzan Front. For Ebony Cube use a Raid build.

Drizzle Aeromancer quickly generates Raindrop Meter and spends most of the time in Sun Shower (Z) state.

Activating her identity grants you the following effects for the entire duration:

• Deals damage to enemies inside the aura
• +30% Damage to Weather Skills
• -20% Movement Speed to enemies inside the aura
• -10% Attack Power to enemies inside the aura
• Changes your Spacebar to Float, allowing you to cancel it early

Additionally, when you cast Sun Shower, your party receives a shield for 9% of your HP (5s duration).

Aeromancer Identity

Raindrop Meter Generation

• While these two skills should be enough to fill up your Raindrop Meter in most cases, you can additionally use Whirlpool if needed.

Sun Shower Damage Rotation

• Using skills in this specific order allows you to fit two casts of each main damage skill per Sun Shower, maximizing your damage output. Activating the Conviction + Judgment runes at the beginning of Sun Shower gives you more time to execute this rotation.
• Dazzling Days can typically be used once per Sun Shower and gains damage for each Rainbow stack you have. The skill itself generates one stack on cast before damage is applied, so you should cast 4 Weather Skills before using it.
  • If Summer Sunlight is not available, you should cast Fly before Dazzling Days.
• Rainstorm and Strong Wind can be cast once per Sun Shower for damage, but you should fit them in before half of the duration is exhausted. Casting them after that can delay your next Sun Shower. If needed, you can delay casting Dazzling Days to fit these two skills. Use your own judgment for the situation you're in!
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using Tornado and Spread, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check Rotation

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended for most stagger checks. However, each check can vary in duration, so you may need to readjust depending on the situation and your party's composition. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!

Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.

Engravings are a core part of your build. You can equip up to five at a time, freely swapping between them. Engravings are listed in order of importance.

Recommended Setup

• Grudge
• Adrenaline
• Keen Blunt Weapon
• Hit Master
• Cursed Doll

Tripods affect your skills directly by providing utility, damage, cooldown reduction or gauge generation. These are the ones you should prioritize:

• Strong Wind: Quick Prep and Steam Gained
• Rainstorm: Steam Gained
• Scorching Sun: Quick Prep, Steam Control, and Sunspot Explosion
• Wiping Wind: Quick Prep, Destruction, and Steam Control
• Whirlpool: Wind Pillar and Steam Control

Bracelets provide beneficial effects to yourself or to your party members depending on the rolls they have.

The primary goal is to get the main stats used by your build. After that, you should be aiming for Special Rolls to get more damage. Here are the effects you should look out for, in no particular order:

The recommended Elixir Set for this build is Master.
