Semmelweis

Short answer: Semmelweis is a 6-Star, Mineral-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a Support, DPS, HP Sacrifice unit. Like every Arcanist, Semmelweis hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Semmelweis where the Mineral advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

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

Semmelweis deals Reality damage and is built for Support, DPS, HP Sacrifice 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 Semmelweis with teammates that cover the roles Semmelweis does not.

Building Semmelweis

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Semmelweis with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Semmelweis 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.
