Danica Optimizer
Upcoming character
Build, artifact and weapon optimizer for Danica, the 5★ Electro character who fights with a claymore in Genshin Impact. Danica isn't released yet: the kit follows the current beta data, so numbers can still change.
Danica as a support
Danica is mainly played as a support, in Defense Maid. What she gives the party, at talent level 9:
- Party ATK: after her Elemental Burst in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, Defense Maid gives every party member ATK equal to 11.9% of Danica's own ATK, up to 475. That cap needs about 4,000 ATK, so in practice every point of her ATK counts.
- Stellar-Conduct: every 100 ATK she has raises the party's Base Stellar-Conduct DMG by 0.7%, up to 14% at 2,000 ATK.
- RES shred: her Anchor lowers enemies' Electro RES by 15%, and in Radiance by another 15% plus 30% Cryo RES, whatever her stats.
So a support Danica wants ATK: ATK% main stats (or an Energy Recharge sands if she needs one), ATK% substats and a weapon with high base ATK, plus enough Energy Recharge for her 60-Energy burst. In the app, turn on Defense Maid and the burst enhancement to see the exact ATK she gives each teammate.
The rankings below are for her on-field DPS build (Battle Maid).
Danica's best DPS build

- Main stats

Computed by Stellar Optimizer's damage engine. Situation: Battle Maid on-field, in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, after her Elemental Burst. Maximizing: On-Field Skill E2 damage (Stellar-Conduct). How this was calculated
Best artifact sets for Danica's DPS build
| Set | Damage | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4-piece Disenchantment in Deep Shadow | 100% |
| 2 | 4-piece Heart of the Furnace | 96.9% |
| 3 | 4-piece A Day Carved From Rising Winds | 85.4% |
| 4 | 2-piece Wanderer's Troupe + 2-piece Gladiator's FinaleElemental Mastery +80 and ATK +18% | 83.9% |
| 5 | 4-piece Blizzard Strayer | 83.7% |
| 6 | 4-piece Vermillion Hereafter | 80.7% |
Damage relative to the best set, each with its own best main stats and substats.
Best main stats for the DPS build
| Sands | Goblet | Circlet | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATK% | Elemental Mastery | CRIT Rate | 100% |
| ATK% | Elemental Mastery | CRIT DMG | 99.1% |
| ATK% | ATK% | CRIT Rate | 98.6% |
| ATK% | ATK% | CRIT DMG | 97.7% |
ATK% and Elemental Mastery can swap between the sands and the goblet: same stats, same damage.
Substat priority
Of the 20 extra substat rolls in a KQM Standards build, the optimizer puts 10 into CRIT DMG, 8 into CRIT Rate and 2 into ATK%.
This damage scales with ATK%, Elemental Mastery, CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate. Electro DMG Bonus doesn't raise it: Stellar-Conduct damage counts as reaction damage.

How this was calculated
- DPS build. Situation: Battle Maid on-field, in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, after her Elemental Burst. Maximized: On-Field Skill E2 damage (Stellar-Conduct), as an average hit (CRIT Rate × CRIT DMG).
- Level 90, talents 9/9/9, constellation 0.
- Artifacts: 5★ +20 with KQM Standards substats: 2 rolls of every substat plus 20 more placed by the optimizer, at most 2 per artifact and none on a piece whose main stat is the same stat.
- Weapons: level 90, 5★ at refinement 1 and 4★ at refinement 5.
- Enemy: level 100 with 10% RES.
- Solo, no team buffs. Set and weapon effects the character can trigger alone are at full stacks; effects that need teammates, shields, healing or taking damage are off, and effects that rotate are averaged.
- No Energy Recharge requirement: check that your build has enough to use the Elemental Burst on rotation.
- Danica isn't released yet: these numbers use the beta data of 2026-11-06 and can change before release.
Your own best build depends on the artifacts you have, your team and your rotation. Optimize Danica with your artifacts to get it.
