"With Instructor it's difficult to gain much more mastery to maximize Illuga's buff, and it's better for Columbina to wear her support set and Illuga to wear Serenade."

Video Summary

Illuga Build Guide

Illuga is a 4-star Geo support character primarily designed to enhance Zibai teams, though he also functions as a strong partner for Noelle. This Illuga build focuses on maximizing his Lunar Crystallize buffs by prioritizing high Elemental Mastery and consistent Energy Recharge for his ultimate uptime.

Best Weapons

  • Dragon's Bane: This polearm is a top choice for an Illuga build because it provides a massive amount of Elemental Mastery. It is currently preferred over many 5-star spears to maximize the scaling of his unique Geo reaction buffs.
  • Favonius Lance: This is one of the best weapons for players struggling with team rotations. It helps Illuga act as a battery, generating extra particles to meet his high Energy Recharge requirements while supporting the entire party's burst availability.

Best Artifacts

  • Serenata de la Luna Tejida: This is the most recommended option among artifact sets for most support scenarios. It synergizes perfectly with his kit to enhance team damage, especially when paired with other characters who benefit from lunar mechanics.
  • Instructor: This set serves as a viable 4-star alternative for increasing team-wide Elemental Mastery. While it provides a significant buff, it makes reaching his specific Energy Recharge targets more difficult compared to using 5-star artifact sets.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For stat priorities, aim for over 1000 Elemental Mastery to maximize buff scaling and at least 170% Energy Recharge to ensure his burst is available every rotation.
  • In a Zibai team comp, Illuga works alongside Columbina and Gorou to create a powerful Lunar Crystallize core. This team focuses on high Geo synergy and maximizing the specific buffs provided by Illuga's passive talents.
  • In a Noelle team comp, Illuga acts as a dedicated Geo support to provide shields and energy. This setup allows Noelle to maintain her field time while benefiting from the extra Elemental Mastery and crystallize shards generated.
