Core Mechanics

Vulnerability & Breach System

Pogranichnik's unique gameplay revolves around Vulnerability stacks:

Action	Vulnerability Stacks
Battle Skill	Consumes ALL stacks
Consume Effect	Triggers Breach
Breach	Physical DMG increase for team

SP Generation

Source	SP Recovery
Basic Attack hit	+2 SP per hit
Battle Skill hit	+5 SP
Combo Skill	Scales with Vulnerability consumed
Ultimate	+30 SP to entire team

Combo Skill: Full Moon Slash

Triggered after consuming Vulnerability via Battle Skill:

Vulnerability Consumed	SP Generated	Damage
1 stack	Low	Low
4 stacks	Maximum	Maximum

Key Point: Always aim for 4 Vulnerability stacks before using Battle Skill for maximum SP and damage.

Best Weapons

Tier List

Rank	Weapon	Stars	Notes
1	Thermite Cutter	6★	Team ATK buff, best overall
2	Never Rest (Signature)	6★	Personal DMG, less team value
3	Fortmaker	5★	F2P, Ultimate Gain focus
4	Pathfinder's Beacon	4★	Early game option

Thermite Cutter (Best in Slot)

Attribute	Effect
Main Stat	ATK%
Passive	Team ATK buff after Battle Skill

Why Best: ATK% is scarce in Endfield and affects the entire team. While the signature weapon provides more personal damage, Thermite Cutter's team-wide buff has higher overall value.

Never Rest (Signature - Not Recommended)

Attribute	Effect
Main Stat	Physical DMG
Passive	Personal damage boost

Why Not Recommended: Physical DMG% effects are widely available and stack additively, diluting value. Team buffs from Thermite are more impactful.

Best Gear Sets

Endgame: Pulser Labs (3pc) + Eternal Xiranite (1pc)

Slot	Gear	Set
Armor	Pulser Labs Disruptor Suit	Pulser Labs
Gloves	Eternal Xiranite Gloves T1	Eternal Xiranite
Kit 1	Pulser Labs Calibrator	Pulser Labs
Kit 2	Pulser Labs Calibrator	Pulser Labs

Set Effects

Set	Pieces	Effect
Pulser Labs	3pc	Arts Intensity, increases Breach damage
Eternal Xiranite	1pc	Ultimate Gain bonus

Why This Build: Pulser Labs provides Arts Intensity which increases the damage boost from Breach. It's the strongest choice for Physical teams where Breach is maximized.

Alternative: Frontiers (3pc) + Flexible

Set	Effect
Frontiers	Universal Vanguard bonuses, SP generation buff

When to Use: If not in a dedicated Physical team, Frontiers is always a valid universal option.

Stat Priority
