Dark Veil

Command companions by maintaining Dominate with shuriken

Dark Veil's Dominate is a stacking buff that increases companion damage and attack speed. Build around maintaining it with shuriken while companions attack, rather than direct weapon damage.

  • Wind Spirit Fruit(Wind Song)×3

Wishing fountain Fountain usage 8 of 9

  • Mini BallistaCapacity 4
  • PinwheelCapacity 4
Why this choice
Use Mini Ballista to gain a companion and Pinwheel to increase attack speed and evasion. The starting Golden Handbell and Mini Ballista also activate the tier-2 Companion bond. This uses 8/9 Wishing Fountain capacity and requires the items to be unlocked.

  • Swiftness10
Why this choice
Ingenuity 20 expands the bag and available choices, and increases final damage by 7% per active bond category. Willpower 20 increases fountain capacity to 9 and provides 25 maximum MP. Swiftness 10 improves attack speed, dash charges, and dash recovery.

  • Gain 1 Companion artifact (selected from unlocked, eligible candidates)
Why this choice

  3. Attack speed and survival to maintain Dominate

02 · SYNERGY

Target bonds and core items

Prioritize the items below when available. Reaching the target combo requires additional items of the same category and their placement; leveling an item alone does not increase the combo count.

Primary

Companion

10Combo target
  • Mini Ballista

    Obtain a ranged companion. Activating the Storm Cloud bond as well lets its electric arrows replenish Storm Clouds.

  • Slim Cushion

    Improve companion attack frequency and revival speed.

  • Alfonso’s Horn

    Supplement companion damage and your own evasion stat.

Bond choices and conditions
Obtain companions and support their damage, attack frequency, and revival speed to use the Dominate buff.
Support

Wind Song

6Combo target
  • Silver Bracelet

    Gain attack speed while accounting for reduced movement speed.

  • Pinwheel

    Supplement attack speed and evasion together.

  • Golden Cloak

    Supplement both dash charges and attack speed.

Bond choices and conditions
Support the attack cadence and positioning needed to maintain Dominate with shuriken.

03 · HOW TO PLAY

Playing this build

1Early preparation

With the basic Dagger, let the starting companion and Ballista lead instead of forcing melee, and attack only safe targets.

2Upgrades and transition

Use Alpine Edelweiss's ranged shuriken to attack safely. After obtaining Dark Veil, keep landing shuriken to maintain companion Dominate stacks.

3Combat loop

  1. Land shuriken from behind while companions occupy enemies.
  2. Keep hitting to maintain Dominate, but move before being surrounded.
  3. If companions fall, keep your distance until they return, then rebuild the buff.

Boss fights

Do not approach the boss alone. Throw shuriken from its side or rear while keeping companion attack paths open. Mole's low armor is the greatest risk.

Without the core items

If you cannot bring Mini Ballista, progress with the companion from the starting Golden Handbell. Improve companion survival with Simple Contract and gather more companions.

  • Do not describe Dominate as directly increasing your own weapon attack power.
  • Without an attacking companion, Dominate's main benefit is unavailable.
