Welt strategy for X8/X9 (with sample run).

Welt strategy for X8/X9 (with sample run).

Welt is crazy good as a main DPS in DU. I’m writing this in a rush, so I might miss some key things, but below is a general flowchart/strategy plus some FAQs. If you have any questions, comment. I'll happily answer what I can.

Thanks to u/Lum_inesce for the strategy code:

Team Setup

  • Welt
  • Sunday
  • Sparkle
  • Flex slot (recommended: DHPT or Hyacine)

Core Strategy

Give Welt as many actions as possible.

Prioritize:

  • Action Advance (AA)
  • Extra turns/actions

Over:

  • Raw DPS increases

More Welt actions = more delay, which means a much better chance at clearing the run consistently.

Blessing Priority

Highest Priority

  • Hunt
  • Erudition

These are your core paths because they massively increase turn frequency and action economy.

Secondary Priority

Once Hunt + Erudition are established, start taking:

  • Elation
  • Propagation

These provide strong general DPS boosts.

Important Miscellaneous Tips

  • Level up your Forges ASAP. They make your run.
  • Pick up the “Revitalization-310” Weighted Curio. It guarantees your Imprisonment lands. USE IMPRISON TO CANCEL BOSS EXTRA ACTIONS. THIS CAN BE CRITICAL!!!!
  • If you’re not fully comfortable with the run, grab defensive blessings early.

Best Masks

The top 3 masks are:

  1. Cringe
  2. Camera
  3. Mecha

Good mask RNG helps a lot.

Laurel Crown Tech

If you get Laurel Crown early, play greedier.

It lets you skip Boss 2 for free, which is incredibly valuable.

Route Optimization

  • Use Herta-Cyrene to skip conversion domains.
  • Avoid combat whenever possible.
  • Skip:
    • Combat domains
    • Elite domains
    • Aberration domains

FAQ

Are Eidolons Needed?

Not really.

The only major difference maker is probably Welt E2, but the strategy works fine without it. I showed my eidolons at the end originally for transparency.

What Other Weighted Curios Are Good?

Consider:

  • Silent Song — gives the team a shield on advance. Also "This Story Presently" for more crit damage to funnel for Sparkle/Sunday.

Are Domain Levels More Important Than Beacons?

Yes.

Domain levels matter much more. Beacons are mostly extra value unless you’re running Horse Mask, which honestly isn’t very good anyway.
