DPS Who Excels at Inflicting Vulnerable

Rossi is an DPS capable of dealing both Physical and Originium Arts damage. Rossi’s Combo Skill applies 2 stacks of Vulnerable in a single activation, supporting a sustained DPS playstyle built around Rossi + a Physical Attacker utilizing Crush/Breach synergy.

Rossi Strategy Guide

Basic Playstyle

Amplify Team Damage with Battle Skill

When Rossi hits an enemy in a Vulnerable state with the second stage of their Battle Skill, they apply Lift and "Razor Clawmark." This allows you to increase the enemy's Physical and Heat damage taken, boosting your team's overall damage while dealing damage.

Tips!	Rossi can deal additional damage and heal themselves when landing a Critical hit on an enemy with Razor Clawmark. If the enemy is in a Combustion state, this effect is further enhanced.

Stack Vulnerable with Combo Skill

By inflicting Arts Infliction and Vulnerable simultaneously, Rossi can activate their Combo Skill twice. The first activation is a normal attack, while the second consumes Arts Infliction to apply Lift, increasing Rossi's Critical Rate and Critical Damage. Executing a perfect timing allows you to inflict an additional stage of Vulnerable.

Include Characters Who Can Inflict Arts

Rossi's Ultimate inflicts Heat Infliction, but if she's the only source of Arts Infliction on the team, she may struggle to use her Combo Skill. Including characters like Wulfgard or Gilberta, who can also inflict Arts, enables consistent activation of the Combo Skill.

Deal Massive Heat Damage with Ultimate

Rossi's Ultimate is a high-damage attack that inflicts Heat Infliction. As this skill is Rossi's primary damage source, aim to use it when the Battle Skill's Razor Clawmark and Combo Skill's Critical Rate and Critical Damage boosts are active to maximize damage output.

Rossi Best Teams

Ultimate Rossi Hypercarry Team

Main DPS	DMG Support	Heat Infliction	Vulnerable Consumer
Rossi	Gilberta	Da Pan	Endministrator

This team utilizes Gilberta's strong Arts Susceptibility application to maximize Rossi's Ultimate damage output.

The core rotation involves stacking Vulnerable through Gilberta and Rossi, then consuming it with the Endministrator. Align Gilberta's and Rossi's Ultimates during Stagger to deliver burst damage.

Basic Combo

Start with the Nature Infliction from Gilberta’s Battle Skill, then activate Wulfgard’s and Rossi’s Combo Skills. Use Rossi’s Ultimate while the effects of Razor Clawmark from Rossi’s Battle Skill and the Critical buff from her Combo Skill are active.

High Sustained Physical DPS Team
