My Arle is C1R1 on a near perfect build (second picture). The C0 Citlali DPS is an older screenshot from before the IT reset. After the IT reset Arle is being given an extra 20% attack for being in the starting lineup, so I had to manually remove that with the frog.

C2 Citlali is exceeding my expectations honestly. I think part of that has to do with Sucrose's EM buff being teamwide, so now that EM is being used to scale Citlali's quills from C1, I'm getting more value out of the buff now. I still think Sucrose will be the next teammate to get kicked out though, what she's providing is really redundant now that I have her whole kit as Citlali's C2 lol.

I have a gut feeling we are going to get a real Def Shredder sometime soon. With all this Lunar and Stellar damage going around and ignoring Def, I am thinking giving the non-celestial damage dealers a Def Shredder makes sense to bring them up to par. Not that I'm dissatisfied with Arle's performance in any way right now, it's just that powercreep is getting pretty fast so I think we all gotta think about optimal investment paths to take Arle to eos. Here's hoping I can get Arle to C3 next banner.

It's like a 2% upgrade at R5 lmao. Honestly, I might not bother since I would have to switch my crit damage circlet to a crit rate one to keep a good ratio. Plus, we still don't know how the drip is going to look. The new bow could be really ugly.

P.S. It's supposed to be DPS, not DPR lol, and it is for the Zibai premium team. Some of the Bow's value is in the increase to Linnea's EM buff so a full team calc is necessary. If you don't know, the new craftable has a 51.7% Def substat and 120 EM in the effect with 12 seconds uptime at R1. At R5 I'm assuming the EM goes up to 240
