Outsider Character Overview

Outsider Information

Outsider Tier / Rating

Playable	Combat Partner

Low HP Anemo DPS

Outsider is an Anemo DPS character with an HP-draining mechanic. He is able to deal a lot of damage in his Ultimate mode but it drains his HP while boosting Attack Speed, Resolve (low HP damage buff) boost and gives a shield. Outsider needs a Healer Combat Partner since his HP doesn't get healed but it can be converted to shield during Ultimate mode.

How to Unlock or Get Outsider?

Exchange With Secret Letter Clues

Outsider's Secret Letter can be exchanged with Secret Letter Clues in the Shop. 1 Secret Letter will require 10 Secret Letter Clues. The shop is unlocked upon gaining access to the Sanctuary in Act 1.

Use Secret Letters in Covert Commissions

Secret Letters can be used during Covert Commissions to get a chance for a Character's Thought to drop. Once you gather 30 Thoughts, you can then exchange them for the character!

Outsider Best Weapon

Outsider's Best Melee Weapon

Best Melee Weapon
Aureate Yore

Outsider viably uses both Skill DMG and Weapon DMG for his DPS. While Exiled Fangs is a viable weapon, Aureate Yore performs better since it offers Crit DMG and does not heal Outsider, allowing him to maximize his Resolve stat.

Outsider's Best Ranged Weapon

Best Range Weapon
Excresduo

A melee playstyle best compliments Outsider's skill kit. For this reason, Ranged Weapons can largely be neglected, acting primarily as a stat stick for the build.

Outsider's Best Partner Weapon

Best Range Weapon
Aureate Yore

As a Combat Partner, Outsider is better with a melee weapon since it compliments his kit. It can allow him to defeat enemy hordes faster and drain shields with Slash damage.

Outsider Best Demon Wedge

Character Melee W. Ranged W.

Character Demon Wedge Set
Onslaught	Whispering Zephyr	Vigilant	Prime ∙ Resolve	Blaze ∙ Resolve
Wings ∙ Inspo	Squall ∙ Wildfire		Blaze ∙ Volition	Blaze ∙ Volition

Outsider is a melee-focused character who likes to get up close and personal. When played correctly, Outsider effectively converts 99% of his HP into additional damage, making Resolve an important stat.

Correctly converting Outsider's HP requires using his Skill at least 5 times before using his Ultimate. For this reason, we have included a Wings ∙ Inspo in the build, but if you can pay attention to his Sanity, you could opt to slot another Blaze ∙ Volition or Blaze ∙ Resolve in its place.

Melee Weapon Demon Wedge Set
Blade Feint	Vigilance	Impetus	Focus
Crusher	Celerity	Impetus ∙ Focus	Rage

Aureate Yore provides a large Crit DMG boost and when combined with Outsider's Intron 1, becomes a very powerful source of critical damage. The DW set above leans more into Crit DMG and ATK, while relying on Outsider's Intron to bolster his Crit Chance.

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

Excresduo functions as a stat stick that provides Outsider with a 24% Skill DMG boost. As such, we've selected a general wedge build simply to maximize the damage of this weapon.

Focus on ATK, Resolve, and Skill DMG

Outsider is a unique character who is designed as a weapons platform but can also viably be played as a Skill DMG DPS. Our build attempts to make Outsider powerful without considering supports and while also taking into account his potential as a weapons user without sacrificing too much Skill DMG.
