Loggerhead

Short answer: Loggerhead is a 5-Star, Plant-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a Heal, DEF, Support unit. Like every Arcanist, Loggerhead hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Loggerhead where the Plant advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Loggerhead uses the Plant Afflatus. That means Loggerhead has the advantage against Mineral units and is at a disadvantage into Beast 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

Loggerhead deals Mental damage and is built for Heal, DEF, Support 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 Loggerhead with teammates that cover the roles Loggerhead does not.

Building Loggerhead

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Loggerhead with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Loggerhead 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.
