How to Get - Obtain from Gacha (Summon)

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

Skill Effect
Wrath - Swift [Instant] Auguste charges at 1 enemy within a cross-shaped range around him, dealing 40% DMG and knocking the enemy back by 1 tile.
The skill switches to [Wrath - Snap].
Wrath - Snap Deals 80% DMG to all enemies within a 3*2 area, inflicting [P.DEF II] for 2 turns.
The skill switches to [Wrath - Scorch].
Wrath - Scorch Single-target attack, dealing 160% DMG. Deals 40% DMG to other enemies within 1 tile around the target, knocking them back 1 tile.
The skill switches to [Wrath - Swift].

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

Skill Description
Contempt - Accumulates Rage stacks when taking damage
- Reduces incoming damage
- May complicate stack management
Strength Activation - Boosts recovery effectiveness
- Constantly increases damage by 20%
- Redundant if other strong buffs are present

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.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Auguste

Aim to Reach 2★ → 4★ → 5★

Star Level Up PriorityRecommended Star Level
S Tier2★ → 4★ → 5★

At 2-stars, Auguste starts with 2 Rage stacks, and at 4-stars, he starts the battle with 4. This makes it much easier to trigger [Rage Outburst], so aiming for 2 or 4 stars is a good priority. At 5-stars, [Rage Outburst] gains a powerful defense penetration effect, making 5-stars an ideal long-term goal.

Priority Skills

SkillPriority and Details
Wrath - SwiftWrath - Swift★★★★★
An evolving skill that changes per use; the second use inflicts P.DEF DOWN & attacks an area, and the third use becomes a high-damage skill. The first and second uses are [Instant] skills, so it has good synergy with Auguste's Trait, and since it can accumulate many [Rage] stacks, always be included in your build.
ContemptContempt★★★★★
This Reaction reduces damage and allows Auguste to build [Rage] stacks. It is recommended for Auguste until he reaches 4-stars, which is when he can easily build Rage stacks. At that point, swap this out with [Strength Activation].
Charged AttackCharged Attack★★★★★
Increases the damage of the next Skill. Ideally, you'll want to use it before [Rage] reaches 6 stacks or before using [Wrath - Scorch].
Warm TouchWarm Touch★★★★
For the first attack of each turn, this Skill grants Piercing DMG and a small heal. If it damages multiple enemies, it activates for each, so it's especially recommended when using AoE attacks.
Wrath - DevastationWrath - Devastation★★★★
A Skill that deals damage + dispels buffs in a wide area. Not only does it have excellent range, but by combining it with [Warm Touch], its ability to deal AoE Piercing DMG to groups of enemies at once is appealing.
Secondary Priorities
SkillPriority and Details
Knightly SpiritKnightly Spirit★★★
Increases damage dealt to bosses and useful when aiming for quick battles. An excellent skill in some specific content.
HassleHassle★★★
A Skill that grants 2 Rage + Physical Shield + damage reduction effect. Makes Rage stack management easier, so it's recommended for a 3-star or less Auguste.
Strength ActivationStrength Activation★★★
A Reaction Skill that grants a DMG Up Lv2 buff when healed. The effect itself is powerful, but be aware that it less useful other allied characters can grant similar buffs. Recommended once Auguste reaches 4-stars, as it allows Auguste to self-buff.
Attack CommandAttack Command★★
A Skill that grants an aura capable of strengthening other characters' attacks. Use it in situations like battles against single bosses, where [Wrath - Swift] is sufficient as your only attack Skill.
Tearing WhirlwindTearing Whirlwind★★
Prevents damaged enemies from healing, making it a useful Skill in specific situations, such as stages where enemies heal frequently.
ExterminationExtermination
A Basic Attack that reduces NRG by 1. Its usefulness is limited, and since its damage dealt is no different from other Basic Attacks, [Charged Attack] is usually better.
Overlord's RoarOverlord's Roar
A Skill with high single-target damage and a buff dispel effect. In situations where dispels are important, or if you cannot secure a means to reduce the CD of [Wrath - Swift], it's viable to include it in your build.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Auguste

Feast AxeFeast AxeTuning HammerTuning HammerHollow AxeHollow Axe

Auguste can easily lower the opponent’s HP percentage using [Instant] Skills and [Act Again], making the [Feast Axe] a great synergy choice. Other recommended options include the [Tuning Hammer], which greatly boosts physical attack, and the [Brutal Axe], which increases both attack and defense.

Recommended Trinkets for Auguste

Flying Blade ArmguardFlying Blade ArmguardRoaring FlintRoaring FlintShield of JusticeShield of Justice

For Auguste, Trinkets with an [attack] Skill that can build [Rage] stacks work really well. Since Auguste scales with both P.ATK and M.ATK, the [Shield of Justice] and [Origin Hourglass], which boost both stats, come highly recommended.

Recommended Tarots for Auguste

Dream of The MagicianDream of The MagicianHierophant's LawsHierophant's LawsTemptation of The DevilTemptation of The Devil

For Auguste, Tarots that boosts damage output are recommended. When facing a single-target, [Hierophant] and [Justice] are solid picks. For general purposes, go with [Magician] or [Devil] to maximize his damage output.

Recommended Engravings for Auguste

ResonanceEffect
Wand icon Wand
Wand icon Wand
After using a [basic attack], [skill], [strike back], or [assisting attack], gains 1 random [Level 2 Attribute Buff].
Sword icon Sword
Cup icon Cup
When actively attacking, increases the DMG by 5% and grants 15% of [Life Steal].
Wand icon Wand
Cup icon Cup
At the end of the turn, there is a 50% chance to gain [Engraving Resonance]. Effect: When using an [active skill] next time, refunds the NRG consumed and resets the CD. The skill effect has a CD of 4 turns. (Does not trigger in real-time combat. The effect changes to increasing HP, ATK and DEF by 5%)

[Wand + Wand], which pairs well with frequent actions, is a strong choice. [Sword + Wand] and [Sword + Cup] are also great for boosting damage and are very easy to use with Auguste. If you want Auguste to focus on AoE attacks, [Wand + Cup] is recommended, since it can reduce the cost and cooldown of [Wrath – Devastation] to 0.

For general purposes, increasing both [P. ATK] and [M. ATK] will further enhance Auguste's explosive damage.

A cold and ruthless one-eyed knight who serves the Council of Knights and wields the fragmented Gramm (the Sword of Wrath) with an imposing countenance. Auguste hails from a prestigious family of knights and was once considered a prodigy with the potential to become a Paladin. However, a failed mission stole that chance along with his eye and left him with a broken blade and a frozen heart. No one knows what caused those injuries, and he has never spoken of it. After the tragedy in Waverun City, he led the vanguard to Iria and declared the city a protectorate of the Union.
