Augusta is a five-star Electro Claymore Responder who excels as a main DPS. Her kit, which includes self-shielding and burst-heavy attacks, pairs perfectly with the right weapons and Echo sets. Here’s how to build her effectively and farm the required materials.

Best Weapon Recommendation

• Signature Weapon: Thunderflare Dominion (★5)
  A powerful ideal choice with strong ATK boosts and a splash of Heavy Attack damage—perfectly synergizes with Augusta’s Electro scaling and shield mechanics.

• Alternative Weapon (F2P option): Guardian Broadblade (★3)
  Greatly increases Heavy Attack damage. It’s budget-friendly, though strong alternatives will outperform it at higher rarity.

Top Echo Set Strategy

• Primary Recommendation: Crown of Valor (3-piece) + Void Thunder (2-piece)

  • Crown of Valor: Stacks ATK and Crit DMG when you gain a shield—very easy to trigger with her passive.

  • Void Thunder: Adds an Electro DMG boost, aligning well with her element focus.

• Ideal Main Echo Options:

  • The False Sovereign: Grants Electro and Heavy Attack bonus, alongside a powerful burst skill on use.

  • Tempest Mephis: Adds more Electro coverage and damage boosts after activation—another solid pick.

Note:
Echo tuning should prioritize Crit Rate/Dmg and Electro DMG or ATK% across slots to maximize DPS.
