Note for beginners

Welt is notably weaker in Pure Fiction (only 3/5 in the build rating) — think twice before investing if that's your main mode.

Should you pull Welt?

Welt is a flexible Imaginary DPS/support hybrid — dealing AoE damage while also controlling the fight via Slow and Imprison, one of the few characters that performs well both as a main DPS and as a debuff/control sub-DPS depending on team needs. Great if you like a genuinely multi-role character; less ideal if you need the absolute ceiling of single-target damage.

His kit revolves around the "Slowed" status: Skill "Edge of the Void" deals 36%→90% (level 1→15) ATK main damage to one target plus 2 extra random-target hits at the same scaling, with a 65%→80% base chance to reduce enemy SPD by 10% for 2 turns. Talent "Time Distortion" adds a further 30%→75% ATK bonus damage whenever Welt hits an already-Slowed enemy — meaning as long as Slow is kept up, EVERY hit from Welt (even Basic ATK) gets a stacking damage bonus, not just his Skill.

Ultimate "Synthetic Black Hole" deals 90%→180% ATK AoE damage with a 100% base chance to Imprison every hit enemy for 1 turn — Imprisoned enemies get both an action delay (32%→44% depending on level) and a 10% SPD reduction, making it a strong tool to lock down the enemy team's turns right before an ally's AoE combo lands.

Pros

Both AoE DPS and control in one character, a genuine dual role
Talent keeps stacking bonus damage as long as Slow is maintained on the target
Ultimate's wide Imprison is excellent for buying time / opening combo windows for the team
One of the few DPS where investing in Effect Hit Rate is never wasted, adding a real extra build axis
Technique lays down a control zone before the fight even starts, helping both prep phase and combat
Easy to slot into many different team comps thanks to his flexible sub-DPS role

Cons

Not the ceiling for single-target damage, loses to dedicated assassins when there's only one enemy
Build value leans heavily on Eidolon 4 — F2P players at E0 only see part of his real potential
Control is chance-based (a base rate), not guaranteed without enough Effect Hit Rate
Often overshadowed as a main carry by newer Imaginary DPS, usually relegated to a sub-DPS role
Needs to balance two stat axes at once (EHR for control + CRIT for damage), a more complex build than a pure DPS
Talent only triggers on Slowed targets, losing value entirely against Slow-resistant or immune enemies

How to play

Basic loop: Skill the main target to deal damage and apply Slow, then follow up with Basic ATK on that same target to keep collecting the Talent's bonus damage (Basic ATK doesn't require Slow to be used, but only gains the bonus while the target is actually Slowed). Save Ultimate for when multiple enemies are grouped up or right before an ally's AoE burst, since its biggest value is the wide Imprison rather than raw damage.

Welt also functions as a pure support opener: use his Technique to lay down a Special Dimension that slows enemies inside it, and entering combat with a hit inside that zone has a chance to Imprison instantly — useful for buying time while the team sets up, or letting the main DPS enter the fight more safely. Because he brings both AoE damage and control, Welt is usually slotted as a "sub-DPS that also shreds RES/controls the field" rather than the main carry when paired with another Nihility DPS.

Skill-Point economy loop: since Skill is both his damage source AND his only way to apply Slow, Welt doesn't get the "Basic ATK to save SP" luxury that pure DPS units have — if Slow drops off the target, the Talent stops stacking and the team loses a damage source. The standard fix: hold Skill Points until the target's Slow is about to expire (1 turn left) so you can refresh it immediately, rather than firing Skill on cooldown — Welt rewards tracking the debuff's remaining duration, not mindlessly spending SP whenever it's full.

Since Welt's Slow/Imprison chances are a base chance plus the player's own Effect Hit Rate stat, he's one of the few Imaginary DPS where investing in EHR is never wasted — it directly determines how reliable his whole control chain is, unlike Seele or other pure ATK/CRIT assassins who need zero EHR.

Teams

Best teammates to pair with

Best teams for Welt

Current core teams: Ashveil + Welt + Tribbie + Huohuo (elemental-resonance Imaginary team); Acheron + Welt + Pela + Aventurine (Welt as a RES-shred/control sub-DPS); or Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Welt + Fu Xuan for a triple-layer RES-shred variant.

Welt pairs especially well with DPS units that need a "combo window" (enemies standing still or slowed to eat a full AoE) rather than pure single-target attackers — his role in most 2026 teams leans closer to a setup tool than a true main carry.

Compared to most other Nihility sub-DPS on the site (usually only ONE of two things: pure RES-shred/control, or pure AoE damage), Welt rarely combines both into a single kit — that's the biggest role difference when placed side by side, not a matter of raw damage being higher or lower. The tradeoff is a more complex build (two stat axes: Effect Hit Rate + CRIT) and no other character exactly replaces that combined AoE-plus-control package if a team is missing him.

Eidolons

How far to invest, which milestones matter

E0 (E4 is the biggest jump: team-wide RES shred; E6 boosts CRIT). E1-E3 add extra control chance/duration and a small damage bump, but most of the team-shaping value sits at E4 — the team-wide RES shred turns Welt from "a good sub-DPS" into "a damage catalyst for the whole team," so F2P players should treat E0 as a reasonable stopping point and only push deeper with surplus resources.

Legacy of Honor★★★★☆

After using Ultimate, Welt gets enhanced. Then, the next 2 time(s) he uses Basic ATK or Skill, deals 1 extra instance of Additional DMG to the enemy target. The Additional DMG dealt when using Basic ATK is equal to 50% of Basic ATK DMG multiplier. The Additional DMG dealt when using Skill is equal to 80% of Skill DMG multiplier.

After using Ultimate, the next 2 Basic ATKs or Skills deal extra Additional DMG, giving a notable damage boost.

Skill Leveling Priority

Skill ★★★★★ Skill is the main damage source, hitting 3 times, and has a high chance to Slow the enemy, which is the trigger condition for Talent's bonus DMG.

Ultimate ★★★★☆ Ultimate deals AoE Imaginary DMG and Imprisons all enemies while reducing their SPD, which also enables Welt's Talent bonus DMG on multiple targets.

Talent ★★★★☆ Talent passively adds extra Imaginary DMG whenever Welt hits a Slowed enemy, functioning as a key passive damage multiplier.

Basic ATK ★☆☆☆☆ Basic ATK is just a standard single-target hit, the lowest leveling priority as with most damage dealers.

Welt FAQ

What is the best Light Cone for Welt?

The best Light Cone for Welt is Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (top pick). See F2P options in the Light Cones section above.

Is Welt worth pulling?

Welt is a flexible Imaginary DPS/support hybrid — dealing AoE damage while also controlling the fight via Slow and Imprison, one of the few characters that performs well both as a main DPS and as a debuff/control sub-DPS depending on team needs. Great if you like a genuinely multi-role character; less ideal if you need the absolute ceiling of single-target damage. His kit revolves around the "Slowed" status: Skill "Edge of the Void" deals 36%→90% (level 1→15) ATK main damage to one target plus 2 extra random-target hits at the same scaling, with a 65%→80% base chance to reduce enemy SPD by 10% for 2 turns. Talent "Time Distortion" adds a further 30%→75% ATK bonus damage whenever Welt hits an already-Slowed enemy — meaning as long as Slow is kept up, EVERY hit from Welt (even Basic ATK) gets a stacking damage bonus, not just his Skill. Ultimate "Synthetic Black Hole" deals 90%→180% ATK AoE damage with a 100% base chance to Imprison every hit enemy for 1 turn — Imprisoned enemies get both an action delay (32%→44% depending on level) and a 10% SPD reduction, making it a strong tool to lock down the enemy team's turns right before an ally's AoE combo lands.

What is the best team for Welt?

Current core teams: Ashveil + Welt + Tribbie + Huohuo (elemental-resonance Imaginary team); Acheron + Welt + Pela + Aventurine (Welt as a RES-shred/control sub-DPS); or Acheron + Jiaoqiu + Welt + Fu Xuan for a triple-layer RES-shred variant. Welt pairs especially well with DPS units that need a "combo window" (enemies standing still or slowed to eat a full AoE) rather than pure single-target attackers — his role in most 2026 teams leans closer to a setup tool than a true main carry. Compared to most other Nihility sub-DPS on the site (usually only ONE of two things: pure RES-shred/control, or pure AoE damage), Welt rarely combines both into a single kit — that's the biggest role difference when placed side by side, not a matter of raw damage being higher or lower. The tradeoff is a more complex build (two stat axes: Effect Hit Rate + CRIT) and no other character exactly replaces that combined AoE-plus-control package if a team is missing him.

How much Energy does Welt's Ultimate cost?

Welt's Ultimate costs 120 Energy. See the Skills section above for the Energy gain and Break DMG of every skill.

What materials does Welt need to reach max Ascension?

Every character build page has these parts: recommended Light Cone/Relic sets and stat table, a Trace/skill leveling order, Eidolon milestones worth considering, and a reference SPD threshold. Read them in that order — gear tells you "what to use", Traces tell you "what to level first", Eidolon tells you "is it worth pulling dupes", SPD tells you "how fast you need to be to keep the rotation on time". The section below explains how to read each part and applies the same way to every character on the site — check the exact numbers in the table above this section, since community sources sometimes differ by a few points.

Why the Light Cone and Relic picks make sense

Most characters have a "signature" Light Cone built for their exact role, plus a few cheaper substitutes from the standard banner or easy-to-get 3-4★ cones. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most characters keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, typically losing somewhere between a few percent and roughly a fifth of total damage depending on the setup, per most public comparisons.

Relic sets (2pc+2pc or 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that character's role (single-target DPS, AoE, shield/healing support, Break damage, and so on).
Main stats per slot (Body/Feet/Sphere/Rope) and substats follow a priority that changes by role: DPS roles usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Break-focused roles prioritize Break Effect; support/healing roles often value Effect Hit/RES or Outgoing Healing over pure CRIT.

These weights differ per character and can shift slightly between ranking sources — follow the exact priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.

Trace/skill leveling order by role (a general guideline, not a fixed rule)

There's no single order that's correct for every character, and community sources sometimes disagree depending on the team the character is used in — but the general pattern by role is:

DPS: level whichever skill (Skill or Ultimate) carries most of the damage for that character first, with Basic ATK usually last if it isn't the main damage source.
Support/Buffer: prioritize Traces that boost buff strength or the skill that applies the effect over Basic ATK, since this role's value comes from lifting the team rather than personal damage.
Healer/Shielder: prioritize the main healing or shield skill first, since that is the reason the team runs this character.
Break/CC: prioritize whichever skill contributes the most Toughness Damage, since the Break/Weakness Break window is where the team dumps damage.

Major Traces unlock at fixed ascension levels in-game, not by choice — but which one to level first (when resources are limited) should follow the role priority above. Since the exact order can differ between ranking sources, check the specific recommendation in the table above for this character.

Eidolons: how far E0 gets you, and which milestone is worth considering

General rule: most characters at E0 (no duplicates) already handle most content, even 5-star characters. Eidolons are a duplicate-fueled upgrade system — higher levels cost more resources for a smaller power gain, and the actual gain varies a lot per character (some barely change role at E0, others shift how they're played at a specific level). The milestones most often cited by the community tend to sit at E1, E2, or E6 depending on the character — but none of these are required to clear the game's content. Check the Eidolon section in the table above for this character's specific milestone and gain; if sources disagree on how to rate a milestone, trust the in-game effect description over a pre-set percentage number.

How to think about SPD breakpoints

SPD (Speed) controls how often a character acts in the turn order — higher SPD means denser actions, and for some roles (especially support/healing that need to buff or heal before the team gets hit) hitting the right SPD "breakpoint" matters more than the raw SPD number. Values like 101 or 134 SPD are often cited as community-common breakpoints (letting a character act again before or after a specific point in certain team setups) — this is crowd-verified action-gauge math, not an official fixed number the game states for every situation. The right breakpoint also depends on the team and allies' SPD, so treat the SPD suggestion in the table above as a starting point to adjust from, not a mandatory target.
