#3Detonation Unit

Ranked #3 at P0

Detonation Unit triggers when WILL Arcane's Combo Skill or Ultimate stacks an Arts Burst, and its Secondary Attribute Bonus still lets her hit 640 WILL with Eternal Xiranite, beating even a Potential 0 Signature at higher Potentials.

#4Oblivion

Ranked #4 at P0

Oblivion can work for INT Arcane, but keeping Hot Work active demands a Redeemer Seal plus Gilberta-level Ultimate Gain Efficiency, and even then SP return from allies like Tangtang can miss the threshold, so it is not recommended.

Gear

2 sets

CoreHot Work

Hot Work is INT Arcane's best set, since her Corrosion upkeep triggers its 50% Nature DMG bonus, and though that only lasts 10 seconds, her burst rotation stays inside that window while its stats match her Intellect and Will needs.

3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's Arts Intensity +30. After the wearer applies Combustion, the wearer gains Heat DMG +50% for 10s. After the wearer applies Corrosion, the wearer gains Nature DMG +50% for 10s. The aforementioned effects cannot stack.

Also works

Eternal XiraniteEternal Xiranite was built alongside WILL Arcane, its Secondary Attribute Bonus covering what her INT-boosting weapons cost her so she clears 640 WILL for maxed bonuses, plus its DMG Dealt effect adds team value.
