At a Glance

• Role: Anemo Support / Buffer
• Best Artifacts: 4pc Viridescent Venerer or 4pc Noblesse Oblige
• Main Stats: ATK% or Energy Recharge (Sands), ATK% (Goblet), ATK% (Circlet)
• Substats: ATK% > Energy Recharge
• Best Weapons: Skyward Atlas (5-star), Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (3-star F2P), Memory of Dust (5-star)
• Constellation Priority: C6 > C2 > C1/C4

Best Weapons

Prune's scaling heavily depends on ATK% to maximize her DMG buff. Here are her top weapon choices:

Weapon	Why It Works
Skyward Atlas	High Base ATK and ATK% substat make it the best stat stick. The passive is irrelevant but the raw stats are unmatched.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers	Provides a massive 48% ATK buff to the next character. F2P-friendly but requires careful rotation and an ATK% Sands.
Memory of Dust	Another 5-star stat stick with high Base ATK and ATK%. No shield synergy needed.
Oathsworn Eye	High Energy Recharge substat helps with burst uptime, especially at low refinements.
Angelos' Heptades	Very high Base ATK with ATK% substat, but the passive is wasted. Only use if you have it lying around.

Best Artifacts

Prune has two excellent artifact options depending on your team's needs.

Set	Why It's Good
4pc Viridescent Venerer	Reduces enemy resistance to swirled elements by 40%, amplifying team damage. Essential for reaction-focused teams.
4pc Noblesse Oblige	Boosts Prune's burst damage and gives the whole team 20% ATK for 12s. Use if another teammate already holds VV.

Main Stats:
– Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge (aim for 180-200% ER if not using Favonius)
– Goblet: ATK%
– Circlet: ATK%

Substats: ATK% > Energy Recharge > CRIT (if you want personal damage, but it's secondary)

Best Constellations

Prune's constellations shift her from a pure buffer to a stronger hybrid support.

Constellation	Effect	Priority
C1 – With a Vow to Rescue, the Journey Begins	Regenerates 2 Energy per Elemental Conversion hit (once per 1.8s).	Medium
C2 – Useful for Cleaning Messy Baggage, Elemental Powers Are Indeed	Increases ATK by up to 40% during burst via stacking.	High
C4 – Looking Back Following the Wind, One's Shadow Still Halved	Elemental Skill ricochets to a nearby enemy, dealing 80% ATK.	Medium
C6 – And That's the Story! Share It With Your Friends!	Extends burst duration by 4s and grants 350 Flat ATK to party members after reactions.	Priority

C6 is transformative, giving your entire team a significant ATK boost. C2 provides substantial self-buffing, while C1 and C4 are nice quality-of-life upgrades.

Should You Build Prune?

Yes, especially if:
– You lack an Anemo support like Kazuha or Sucrose.
– You run reaction-heavy teams (Vaporize, Melt, Taser, etc.).
– You want a flexible, low-investment buffer (Thrilling Tales + VV works at C0).

Her main competition is Sucrose, but Prune offers a unique flat ATK buff at C6 and doesn't rely on EM. For F2P players, she's an excellent alternative to 5-star supports.

Team Synergies

Prune fits into many teams. Here are a few examples:

• Vaporize/Melt: Pair with Hu Tao, Xiangling, Xingqiu, and a shielder. Prune holds VV and buffs the carry.
• Taser (Electro-Charged): Use with Sucrose (if available) or Beidou, Fischl, and a healer. Prune's off-field damage and VV shred help.
• Mono-Element: In Geo or Anemo mono teams, Noblesse Oblige works well.

Her best teammates are characters who snapshot their ATK, like Xiangling or Fischl, so they benefit from her buffs throughout their skill duration.
