Spathodea

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

Afflatus and Matchups

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

Spathodea deals Reality damage and is built for DPS, Burst DMG, Burn 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 Spathodea with teammates that cover the roles Spathodea does not.

Building Spathodea

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