Build Scaling Quick Reference

Scales From: Lightning ATK (20x lightning scaling from Tier 4B2), Lightning Amp% — Lilith of suit 4pc converts 50% Lightning ATK to Crit Value (damage AND crit from one stat)

Core Synergy: Summer Ziggs (+300 Lightning ATK, +30% Lightning ATK%, +40% Lightning Amp) → Lilith of suit 2pc (+350 Lightning ATK) + 4pc (50% Lightning ATK → Crit) → Conductive state (-30% enemy Lightning Resist per skill) → Citrine gems strictly better than Topaz at 4pc

Weakness: Melee AoE takes constant hits — needs adequate DEF + HP

Affix Priority: Equipment ATK% > Lightning ATK > Crit DMG

Recommended Card

Best: Summer Ziggs — ★4

Why Ziggs is the best Whirlwind card: Whirlwind's 4★B2 converts ALL damage to Lightning (3×100% Lightning/sec with 20x lightning scaling). Ziggs provides +300 flat Lightning ATK AND +30% Lightning ATK% AND up to +40% Lightning Amp — every stat directly multiplies every Whirlwind tick. Combined with the Lilith of suit set (which converts 50% of your Lightning ATK into Crit Value), Ziggs creates a self-reinforcing damage loop: more Lightning ATK = more damage AND more crit.

Alt: Golden Demon — ★4

+80% Lightning Amp. Every 8s: lightning strike dealing 30000+1500% Lightning DMG (2000x Lightning bonus). Use if you don't have Ziggs — Golden Demon provides massive Lightning Amp but lacks the flat Lightning ATK that Ziggs gives, which means less benefit from Lilith of suit's Lightning→Crit conversion.

Equipment Set

Best: Lilith of suit — ★4

Why Lilith of suit is mandatory: The 4pc bonus is what makes this build work. Every point of Lightning ATK you stack (from gems, Ziggs card, set bonus, and affixes) gives you both damage AND free crit. This means you can drop crit gems entirely once you complete the 4pc set, and go full Lightning for maximum output.

Gem Setup

Early Game (Before Lilith of suit 4pc)

Before you complete the Lilith of suit set, you still need crit from gems:

Equipment	Gems	Why
Weapon	Citrine / Citrine / Ruby	Start stacking Lightning early; Ruby for base ATK
Ring	Citrine / Ruby / Garnet	Garnet (Crit DMG) because you won't have Lilith of suit crit conversion yet
Armor	Sapphire / Sapphire / Emerald	DEF + HP for melee survivability
Amulet	Sapphire / Emerald / Emerald	Balanced defensive

Add a few crit gems ( Topaz) before completing Lilith of suit, because the set 4/4 gives free crit rate — but until then, you need some from gems.

Endgame (With Lilith of suit 4pc)

Once Lilith of suit 4pc is active, drop all crit gems — Lightning ATK now gives crit for free:

Equipment	Gems	Why
Weapon	Citrine / Citrine / Ruby	Pure Lightning stacking; 1 Ruby for base ATK
Ring	Citrine / Ruby / Garnet	Garnet for Crit DMG (different from Crit Rate — Lilith of suit gives Rate, not DMG)
Armor	Sapphire / Sapphire / Emerald	DEF + HP
Amulet	Sapphire / Emerald / Emerald	Balanced defensive

The math: Lilith of suit 4pc converts 50% of Lightning ATK to Crit Value. With Ziggs (+300 Lightning ATK, +30% Lightning ATK%), Lilith of suit 2pc (+350), and Lilith of suit 3pc (+30%), your total Lightning ATK gets massive — and half of it becomes free Crit Value. This is why Citrine gems are strictly better than Topaz for this build.
