Best Light Cones
#1
Along the Passing Shore
Best DPS option. Massive CRIT DMG bonus and 40% increased DMG to targets with Mirage Fizzle, plus an additional 40% Ultimate DMG bonus. Acheron's signature light cone that also performs excellently on Welt.
#1
Lies Dance on the Breeze
Best support option for most Nihility characters who can reach 170 SPD. Offers 18% SPD and a 24% DEF reduction on all enemies via the Bamboozle debuff, benefiting the whole team.
#3
Incessant Rain
Helps with Effect Hit Rate requirements and adds CRIT Rate when hitting enemies with 3+ debuffs. The Aether Code debuff can increase team damage though its personal DPS boost for Welt is more modest.
#4
Good Night and Sleep Well
Best free-to-play option. Scales up to 72% bonus DMG based on how many debuffs the target has. Needs another debuffer in team to consistently reach 3 stacks.
#5
In the Name of the World
Increases DMG to debuffed enemies by 40% and boosts Effect Hit Rate during the Skill by 30%, improving Slow application reliability. Great all-around pick for Welt.
#6
Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat
Support-oriented option. Ensnares enemies on hit, reducing their DEF by 16% for 1 turn. Best used when Welt is filling a pure support role rather than dealing damage.
Best Relics
Cavern Sets
1
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters
Best-in-slot when Welt can reliably apply 3 debuffs. The 4-piece bonus grants CRIT Rate and significantly increased CRIT DMG against enemies with 3 debuffs. After inflicting a debuff, these effects double for 1 turn. Excellent synergy with Welt's multiple debuffs (Slow, Imprisonment, DMG vulnerability from A2).
1
Wastelander of Banditry Desert
Most commonly used relic set for Welt (100% player usage in tracked data). The 2-piece provides 10% Imaginary DMG bonus, and the 4-piece grants 10% CRIT Rate against debuffed enemies and 20% CRIT DMG against Imprisoned enemies, both conditions Welt applies constantly.
3
Prisoner in Deep Confinement
Increases ATK by 12% (2-piece). The 4-piece ignores a portion of target DEF proportional to DoT stacks. Works best when Welt is paired with DoT dealers in the same team composition.
4
Scholar Lost in Erudition
Competitive alternative providing CRIT Rate and increased DMG after using Skill or Ultimate. Works well if your Wastelander or Pioneer pieces have poor substat rolls.
Planar Ornament Sets
1
Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm
Best planar set when running 2 Nihility allies (including Welt). Provides 12% ATK and an additional 12% CRIT Rate when at least one ally shares The Nihility path. Welt himself is Nihility, making the bonus easy to activate consistently.
1
Rutilant Arena
Most commonly used planar set (100% player usage in tracked data). Provides 8% CRIT Rate, and when CRIT Rate reaches 70%+ boosts Basic ATK and Skill DMG by 20%. Well-built Welts frequently exceed the threshold, making this consistently effective.
3
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
Provides 12% ATK and 12-18% DMG bonus when Speed reaches 135 or 160. Works well if building Welt for higher speed breakpoints, especially in compositions where Lies Dance on the Breeze pushes him toward 170 SPD.
4
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise
Increases Effect Hit Rate by 10% and converts 25% of current Effect Hit Rate into ATK (capped at 25% ATK). Useful if you need more Effect Hit Rate for reliable Slow application while also gaining offensive stats.
Best Teams for Welt
Welt excels as a debuffing secondary DPS who combines Slow, Imprisonment, and his own Imaginary damage. He works in hypercarry compositions, as a Nihility partner for Acheron, or as a generalist support with Dr. Ratio.
01 · Dr. Ratio Premier
Debuff synergy composition
Welt's Slow and A2 DMG vulnerability debuffs increase Dr. Ratio's follow-up attack triggers. Robin amplifies all follow-up damage. Aventurine shields and also has a follow-up synergy. This team consistently appeared in top clears in endgame data.
02 · Acheron Nihility Partner
Full Nihility requirement met
03 · Dan Heng IL Hypercarry
Endgame top-performers
Dan Heng IL and Sunday appeared alongside Welt in 100% of top Apocalyptic Shadow clears tracked. Welt's Imprisonment keeps dangerous enemies at bay while dealing consistent Imaginary damage. Tribbie provides additional sustain and buffs.
04 · F2P / Budget
Accessible characters only
Welt as hypercarry with Ruan Mei extending his Break duration and amplifying his damage against broken targets. Pela's DEF shred stacks with Welt's debuffs for increased damage. Welt's A6 trace grants 20% bonus DMG against Weakness Broken enemies, excellent synergy with Ruan Mei's extended break window.

Eidolons

1
Legacy of Honor
After Welt uses his Ultimate, his abilities are enhanced. The next 2 times he uses his Basic ATK or Skill, deals Additional DMG equal to 50% of his Basic ATK's multiplier or 80% of his Skill's multiplier respectively. Notably boosts his Skill output after every Ultimate cycle.
Post-Ultimate Boost
E
2
Conflux of Stars
When his Talent is triggered, Welt regenerates 3 Energy. Since the Talent fires on every Skill hit against a Slowed target (up to 3 times per Skill use), E2 significantly increases his Ultimate uptime and overall cycle efficiency.
High Value

Prayer of Peace
Skill level +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK level +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10. The Skill level increase directly boosts his primary damage source and the multiplier for his Talent bonus.

4
Appellation of Justice
Base chance for Skill to inflict SPD Reduction increases by 35%. Combined with the base 75% chance, this reaches a 110% base chance effectively guaranteeing Slow application on every Skill hit, removing the need to stack Effect Hit Rate for this purpose.
Guaranteed Slow
E

Power of Kindness
Ultimate level +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent level +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Both key damage components receive a level bonus, providing a meaningful damage increase at high investment.

6
Prospect of Glory
When using Skill, deals DMG for 1 extra time to a random enemy. This adds a fourth Bounce hit to his Skill, increasing total potential damage and granting another chance for Slow application and Talent bonus damage. Substantial DPS gain at max Eidolons.
Significant Upgrade
Major Traces
Retribution
Ascension 2
When using Ultimate, there is a 100% base chance to increase the DMG received by all hit targets by 12% for 2 turns. This vulnerability is applied before the Ultimate's own damage lands, meaning Welt immediately benefits from his own debuff. Also gives him an extra debuff for teams that scale off debuff count (like Dr. Ratio).
Judgment
Ascension 4
Using Welt's Ultimate additionally regenerates 10 Energy. Combined with his A2 trace and E2 Eidolon, Welt can cycle his Ultimate significantly faster, keeping enemies Imprisoned for longer and applying his DMG vulnerability debuff more frequently throughout the fight.
Punishment
Ascension 6
Deals 20% more DMG to enemies inflicted with Weakness Break. Because Welt's Imprisonment denies enemy turns, it extends the Break duration on enemies. Combined with Ruan Mei in the team, this bonus is effectively permanent during most fight cycles, making him an excellent Break-adjacent damage dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Welt has aged relatively well as a 5-star standard character. While he is no longer the only Imaginary unit available, his role flexibility (functioning as a hypercarry, secondary DPS, or control support) keeps him relevant. He fits naturally into teams with Dr. Ratio, Acheron, and Dan Heng IL, all of which are top-tier endgame compositions. He is rated A Tier on our list.
Welt's Talent (Time Distortion) triggers additional Imaginary DMG equal to 60% of his ATK each time he hits an enemy that is already Slowed. Since his Skill is a Bounce attack making 3 hits, the Talent can trigger up to 3 times per Skill use, inflating his effective Skill damage from 216% ATK to 396% ATK when all targets are Slowed. This is why maintaining Slow uptime is essential to his output.
Aim for at least 43% Effect Hit Rate to reliably land Slow on most content. The recommended breakpoint ensures consistent debuff application which is critical for activating his Talent bonus. At E4, the Slow base chance increases by 35% (from 75% to 110%), effectively making EHR less important and freeing substat slots for CRIT stats instead. If you have E4, you can deprioritize EHR substats.
Imprisonment is a control effect that delays an enemy's action by 40% and reduces their SPD by 10%. Crucially, if an Elite or Boss has already started an action (like charging up for an attack), using Welt's Ultimate to Imprison them will immediately end their turn. This denies powerful telegraphed attacks entirely, making Welt an underrated defensive tool in challenging content like Memory of Chaos and Apocalyptic Shadow.
The recommended breakpoint is 134 SPD for most players. Higher breakpoints at 143 or 160 SPD are viable if you have Lies Dance on the Breeze (which itself provides 18-30% SPD). At 170+ SPD, you can trigger the Bamboozle DEF reduction on all enemies via that light cone. Keep in mind that pushing speed heavily comes at the cost of CRIT substats, so balance based on your available relic pieces.
E2 is the most impactful eidolon, providing additional Energy on Talent procs to significantly accelerate his Ultimate cycling. E4 is excellent if you want to remove Effect Hit Rate from the substat priority entirely by guaranteeing Slow. As a standard 5-star, you may accumulate eidolons naturally over time through standard warps and Stellar Jade. He does not need eidolons to contribute in endgame content but they meaningfully improve his performance.
