He is a dependable problem-solver, the most reliable attendant, and a rock-solid support for any team. With his rationality and wisdom, he embodies the true essence of a gentleman, and cannot stand even the slightest imperfection. Once he pledges his loyalty to someone, he offers it without reservation. While he may appear composed and sophisticated on the surface, his innate feral instincts come to the fore in the face of certain dangers.

Lycaon Best W-Engine

The Restrained

100%

Six Shooter

Steam Oven

Precious Fossilized Core

[Vortex] Arrow

Lycaon Best W-Engine Explanation

S Rank W-Engine Recommendation

Top Recommendation:

The Restrained: This W-engine is highly recommended for Lycaon as it provides an Impact attribute that significantly enhances Lycaon’s Daze capability. Additionally, its special effects offer a considerable increase in Ice DMG, boosts to Basic Attack damage, and Daze multipliers—all essential attributes for Lycaon.

A Rank W-Engine Alternatives

Primary Alternative:

Six Shooter:
- Provides the Impact attribute needed by Lycaon.
- Its special effects increase the Daze value caused by EX Special. Since Charged EX Special is one of Lycaon’s main means of creating Daze, this W-engine is highly compatible with her playstyle.

Secondary Alternatives:

Steam Oven:
- Can be an option for Lycaon, but requires a specific skill usage strategy.
- Players should focus on using only Charged Basic Attacks and avoid using EX Special.
- When fully activated and using only Charged Basic Attacks, the Daze efficiency is higher than with Six Shooter.
- Note: While Steam Oven offers superior values, it has a longer activation time and is optimal only in specific combat scenarios.
Precious Fossilized Core:
- A usable option for Lycaon, though its benefits are not as high as Six Shooter or Steam Oven.

B Rank W-Engine Recommendation

Transitional Option:

[Vortex] Arrow:
- Its attributes and special effects are quite suitable for Lycaon and can be used as a transitional W-engine.

Lycaon Best Disk Drives Explanation

Top Disk Drive Recommendation

4-Piece Shockstar Disco Set:

2-Piece Bonus: Provides a 6% Impact.
4-Piece Bonus: Strengthens the Daze value for Basic Attack, Dash Attack, Dodge Counter, and EX Special, perfectly covering Lycaon’s main methods of creating Daze. This set is tailor-made for Stun characters.

Remaining 2 Slots:

Choose from the following Disk Drives:
- Polar Metal: Provides a 10% Ice DMG bonus.
- Freedom Blues: Offers Anomaly Proficiency.
- Woodpecker: Increases Crit Rate.

All these options enhance key attributes that effectively boost Lycaon’s damage.

Main Stats for Disk Drives

Slot 4: Choose Crit Rate, Crit DMG, or Anomaly Proficiency.
Slot 5: Choose Ice DMG Bonus.
Slot 6: Choose Impact.

Sub-Stats Prioritization

Players should focus on their core goals for the build and the main attributes they want to emphasize. For example:

Slot 4 as Crit Rate or Crit DMG: Prioritize stacking Crit Rate or Crit DMG and ATK%.
Slot 4 as Anomaly Proficiency: Prioritize Anomaly Proficiency.

Ensuring consistency across multiple slots maximizes Lycaon’s traits and overall effectiveness.
