How we calculated

The team comes from the open gcsim simulation database — the one closest to the teams in this guide. Only this character was changed: constellation and weapon. Teammates, artifact sets and rotation stay as in the original simulation; the whole team's substats are optimized to KQM standards separately for each weapon. C0 with Prototype Crescent: 52,631 damage per second.

The gain depends on the team and investment: treat it as a guideline, not an exact number for your account. Original simulation · gcsim 4eda9fc, 2026-10-17
