Rhythm Best Weapon

Rhythm's Best Melee Weapon

Best Melee Weapon
Momiji Itteki

Rhythm's abilities grant her enough damage to deal with groups of enemies, but she can sometimes struggle with fighting single-targets. The Momiji Itteki functions as Rhythm's single-target weapon since it's high criticals can quickly whittle down bosses and durable targets. Alternatively, you could also use a Wanewraith as a simple stat-stick to maximize her skill damage.

Rhythm's Best Ranged Weapon

Best Range Weapon
Exiled Thunderwyrm

The bonus Skill DMG granted to Electro characters works perfectly well with Rhythm's kit. Note that you will need to build this weapon for Trigger chance so that you can increase the probability of gaining the bonus.

Rhythm's Best Partner Weapon

Best Range Weapon
Exiled Thunderwyrm

Exiled Thunderwyrm can periodally trigger a "chain lightning" effect that can clear out multiple mobs. Additionally, the skill damage bonus granted to Rhythm makes her more effective when the AI uses any of her abilities.

Rhythm Best Demon Wedge

Loadout Details

Character Melee W. Ranged W.

Character Demon Wedge Set
Blaze ∙ Morale	Blaze ∙ Morale	Sidestep	Ravaging Thunder	Thunder ∙ Midnight Sun
Blaze ∙ Morale	Prime ∙ Morale		Blaze ∙ Volition	Blaze ∙ Volition

When playing as Rhythm, focus on consistent ability usage to keep her Sanity engine running. By converting a portion into Electrical Energy, you can enhance her skill to deal even more damage.

Remember that her Ultimate also deals a large amount of DMG, and can also affect multiple enemies at Intron II, so be sure to use it to generate even more Electrical Energy, which then continues Rhythm's Sanity cycle.

Melee Weapon Demon Wedge Set
Piercing Ascent	Continuity ∙ Trammel	Continuity	Impetus
Swift Momentum	Celerity	Edge	Focus

Wanewraith's main purpose in this build is to function as a stat stick by providing Skill DMG.

Furthermore, we have also included Piercing Ascent, which can be used as a movement tool by using charged attacks to dash a short distance in the direction you are facing. When paired with Swift Momentum, this makes it much more convenient to use it as a means for enhanced movement.

Range Weapon Demon Wedge Set
Impetus	Foldover	Penetration	Rage ∙ Trammel
Celerity	Impetus ∙ Focus	Faction Hunt	Free Slot

Our Rhythm build focuses on utilizing her abilities instead of using her as a Weapons platform. This makes Excresduo another stat stick that is slotted only for the increased Skill DMG. Therefore, a generic ranged weapon build will work well enough in most cases.

Best Build for Rhythm

Character Demon Wedge	Ravaging Thunder Thunder ∙ Midnight Sun Prime ∙ Morale Blaze ∙ Morale Blaze ∙ Morale Blaze ∙ Morale Blaze ∙ Volition Blaze ∙ Volition Sidestep
Melee Weapon	Piercing Ascent Continuity ∙ Trammel Continuity ▼ Tap for Demon Wedge Build
Range Weapon	Not important for Rhythm ▼ Tap for Demon Wedge Build

Focus on Skill DMG, Morale, and ATK

Maximizing Rhythm's damage involves playing around her unique [Electric Energy] mechanic. This means she wants to repeatedly cast abilities, making Skill DMG her priority stat.

Note that Rhythm's second passive node, [Poweroff Anxiety] is crucial, since it allows her to convert part of her Electric Energy back into Sanity, which then allows Rhythm to use her abilities consistently, acting as a form of renewable energy.
