Beryl

Short answer: Beryl is a 6-Star, Intellect-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a DPS, Lingering Glow, Extra Action unit. Like every Arcanist, Beryl hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Beryl where the Intellect advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Beryl uses the Intellect Afflatus. That means Beryl has the advantage against Star units and is at a disadvantage into Spirit units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Beryl deals Mental damage and is built for DPS, Lingering Glow, Extra Action duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Beryl with teammates that cover the roles Beryl does not.

Building Beryl

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Beryl with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Beryl is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
