Auguste Pros and Strength

Offensive Power from Trait

Auguste accumulates [Rage] stacks via attacks, skills, equipment skills, or standing by. Once he reaches 6 stacks, he enters Rage Outburst mode, significantly boosting his offensive power and enabling additional actions.

Effective to Boost M.ATK

To be clear, Auguste benefits most from his P.ATK. However, when entering Rage Outburst mode, Auguste's M.ATK also contributes to his P.ATK, meaning that you should consider using Engravings and Tarots that roll M.ATK as one of the stats. Additionally, Auguste's [Hassle] skill is also enhanced by his M.ATK, so don't sleep on M.ATK.

High Base Skill Damage

The base skill Wrath - Swift transforms with each use, and when combined with his Trait’s Rage Outburst effect, allows him to perform up to three consecutive attacks in a single turn. This is an extremely powerful skill, achieving top-tier single-target damage among all characters.

Requires 3–4 Rage Stacks

To enter Rage Outburst, Auguste needs 4 Rage stacks before attacking. Wrath - Swift (Instant) and the next Wrath - Snap grant two stacks. If he has 4 stacks before attacking, he can enter Rage Outburst and use Wrath - Scorch in the same turn. Additionally, Trinket skills can increase Rage stacks, enabling him to transition into Rage Outburst with as few as 3 stacks under certain conditions.

Selecting Reactions

Each reaction skill has its pros and cons. Generally, Contempt is recommended, as it aids Rage stack accumulation while reducing damage received. However, if stack management is challenging or there’s no teammate providing a damage-boosting buff, Strength Activation is a suitable alternative.

Also Skilled in AoE Attacks

By combining the piercing damage effect of Warm Touch with the wide-area attack Wrath - Devastation, Auguste can deliver high damage to groups of enemies.

Timing of Rage Outburst is Key

Auguste is user-friendly, excelling through continuous attacks, but in challenging stages, it’s crucial to activate Rage Outburst at the right time. Monitor enemy and ally buffs/debuffs and skill statuses to time Rage Outburst effectively, keeping an eye on stack management and optimal timing.

Skill
Wrath - Swift								Knightly Spirit								Attack Command

A build for single-target enemies. His primary role is to maximize damage through Wrath - Swift, so support Auguste with teammates or strategy skills that increase damage output and reduce cooldowns. For better stack management and durability, consider including Hassle in place of Attack Command.
