Sotheby

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

Afflatus and Matchups

Sotheby uses the Plant Afflatus. That means Sotheby 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

Sotheby deals Reality damage and is built for Poison, Heal, DPS 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 Sotheby with teammates that cover the roles Sotheby does not.

Building Sotheby

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