Role and build direction
New Armorer Agent in the 3.2 snapshot. Sharp damage and Laceration use mechanics that differ from ordinary Attack builds. Claret’s DEF scaling and CRIT conversion drive the equipment plan. Team CRIT DMG buffs are not interchangeable with Laceration bonuses, so the stunner’s Disc choice must support this damage type.
Equipment and stat priorities
The equipment table below is a starting point, not a universal ranking. Finish usable main stats before replacing a complete piece for a minor substat upgrade. Read each set’s trigger and each W-Engine’s passive, then check whether your rotation actually sustains them. Premium equipment and duplicate upgrades are not required to begin testing this plan.

Rotation and resource management
Enter Crimson Inscription, build Gash and consume it through the enhanced Specials to trigger Maim. DEF scaling and CRIT conversion make generic Attack builds unsuitable. Record where the rotation loses time: setup, movement, an unavailable EX, or an interrupted damage sequence. Change one decision at a time and repeat the same encounter. A shorter animation or an extra attack is only an improvement if it preserves the important buffs and resources.
Team selection
Build the squad around Claret Flint's Armorer role and the recorded additional-ability condition. There is no curated three-Agent composition for this profile yet. Use the planner to inspect candidate partners, then test resource sharing and buff uptime before treating the result as a recommendation.
PLAN A SQUADShiyu Defense
Plan Claret Flint's resources across waves. Group enemies before committing the main damage sequence, reserve a useful opening for the next spawn, and compare both sides before locking the squad. A faster first side is not a gain if it leaves the second side without a needed support.
Deadly Assault
Evaluate repeated cycles over the scoring period. Keep Claret Flint's role consistent across setup and recovery, and inspect the actual boss mechanics before extending a rotation. Allocate three independent squads first. The strongest-looking single squad may consume a support that another encounter needs more urgently.
Hollow Zero and practical mistakes
Temporary programs can change the value of Claret Flint's normal build and rotation. Read acquired effects before spending resources in the next room. Sharp damage scales with DEF; CRIT conversion differs from ordinary Attack builds. Keep a stable baseline build, then adapt the play sequence to the run instead of farming new equipment for every temporary modifier.
