Arlan is a 4★ Lightning character on the Path of Destruction. As a Destruction unit he trades survivability for power, dealing heavier Lightning damage at lower health.

How to Play

Pair Arlan with strong shielding and healing to keep his HP-based scaling safe. See his placement on the HSR tier list.

Best Build

Light Cones: A free or low-cost ATK/CRIT Destruction cone; high-HP-cost users benefit from CRIT scaling cones. Relic Set: A Lightning DMG 4pc set for elemental damage, or a generic ATK/CRIT Destruction set. Planar Ornament: A CRIT-boosting 2pc planar (e.g. an Inert Salsotto-type set) once CRIT thresholds are met. Main Stats: Body CRIT Rate/DMG, Feet ATK% or SPD, Sphere Lightning DMG, Rope ATK%. Substats: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > SPD.

Best Teams

  1. Budget Lightning Carry: Tingyun, Asta, a strong healer.
  2. Self-sustain comp: a Harmony buffer, a shielder, and a reliable Abundance healer.

Kit Overview

  • Skill: single-target Lightning damage that grows stronger the lower his HP.
  • Ultimate: AoE Lightning burst across all enemies.
  • Talent/Role: 4-star Destruction DPS that trades HP for higher damage, so he needs healing support.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Free unit with high damage when low on HP; simple kit. Cons: Fragile and HP-dependent, so he leans hard on a dedicated healer.
