Review
Batsby is an Odd Affinity damage dealer who specializes in cycling heavy AoE attacks against debuffed foes while amplifying his damage significantly against Reason-typed enemies.
Skill 1
Batsby’s S1 is divided into an active and a passive ability. The active part is a straightforward 1-hit attack with a good chance to inflict [Wound] for up to 2 turns.
The passive is the meat of Batsby’s kit, offering him increased damage based on the number of Debuffs present on enemies. While enemies have 6 debuffs, Batsby deals up to 60% more damage to them and if Batsby’s main target is Reason typed (red) that main target will instead take up to 180% more damage!
Do note that the damage increase from the passive does not apply to Shells, so don’t expect your White Fang to reach ridiculous levels of damage. Also, in AoE, even against 5 reason typed enemies, only the primary target may take up to 180% DMG; the rest will take up to 60%.
Skill 2
His S2 is a 1-hit AoE that inflicts very good damage to all enemies and extends all of their debuffs except Hard CCs by 1 turn if the attack crits on them. With a short CD and a strong added effect, this skill is excellent to keep waves of tougher enemies under control without neglecting damage, or finishing off an entire wave after S3 softened them up.
Skill 3
Batsby’s S3 is yet another 1-hit AoE, this time with two potent effects on top of its damage. The attack has a base 100% chance to inflict [Vulnerable] to all enemies for 2 turns, and for every enemy that receives a CRIT from this skill Batsby gains 20% Turn meter, meaning that he can get a double turn by critting on 5 enemies at once and immediately chain with his S2, extending the [Vulnerable] and cycling through his CDs faster.
PVE
In PVE, Batsby does well in AoE thanks to the combination of the low cooldowns and high damage multipliers on his S3 and S2, alongside his ability to quickly chain together both of them thanks to his turn meter boost. Outside of AoE Batsby, also carves out a strong niche as a Reason Affinity obliterator thanks to his passive tripling in effect against his primary target when they are Reason. With that said, both these playstyles rely entirely on enemies consistently having numerous debuffs applied to them at all times; without this, Batsby’s damage completely falls apart.
PVP
In PVP, it is difficult to rely on Debuff-heavy comps given the abundance of [Immunity] and Purify, in which case Batsby can only rely on his Turn meter increase from S3 and his allies to quickly land 2 strong blows on the entire enemy team, acting as a generic cleaver. Even then, Animuses like Viper passively counter CRIT attacks, and bruisers like Rahu or Tiamat can shrug off his attacks while returning heavy fire of their own.
This all makes it hard to bring him without a very solid strategy, and he would still have to contend with Massiah and other, more versatile cleavers.
Conclusion
In PVE, Batsby is a strong AoE choice and fits within his Reason slaying niche nicely. In PVP, while not as potent as top-tier cleave threats like Yeli and Massiah, his ability to gain an additional action quickly after his S3 gives him room to find his way into drafts situationally.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great AoE damage when set up correctly.
Excellent ST damage if all conditions are met.
Cycles Fast (Especially in AoE).
Cons
Very Lattice hungry, as all skills want high levels.
Damage is mediocre without debuffs.

Best Build
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
Best Shells
For some DPS characters, we're showing two set of numbers. The top one on shows the performance in single-target scenario and the bottom on blue background in AoE scenario (4 targets). If there's just one number, it means the character only has single-target capability.
1
Before the owner takes action, increases their ATK by 1200 for 2 turn(s) and additionally applies a 2-turn [Life Leech - Shell] to them.
Grants the wearer 1200 Flat ATK and a buff allowing them to lifesteal 10% of the damage they deal while active. Damage-wise, the Shell is strongest for characters that don’t rely on their Shell for a large portion of their total damage, like Follow-Up attackers. The lifesteal effect of this Shell also makes it worth considering in PVP and PVE, even if it’s a damage downgrade.
Best option for Batsby when aiming to maximize his burst damage over the first few turns of a fight.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Momentum [12/12]

1
After the main body acts, it performs a [Follow-up Attack] on the primary target, dealing 2 instances of 110% damage each. If a [CRIT] occurs, it increases the main body Animus’s [CRIT DMG] by 6%, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.
Consistent option for most DPS characters when it comes to raw damage output. Deals 2 sizable hits on a 3 turn cooldown and grants a relatively quickly stacking buff amounting to 60% CRIT DMG once fully charged. Also has more flexible DPS matrixes than other options thanks to it possessing 12P Swiftrush.
Alternative to Count which while stronger in longer drawn out fights isn't as competitive in burst scenarios as White Fang doesn't get boosted by Batsby's passive.

Best Stats
Substats:
CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Flat ATK - SPD is situational choice for Liliam
Stat comments
Batsby has three main stats and two bonus stat to pay attention to across gear:
- Crit Rate: CRIT RATE is Batsby's most important stat and reaching 100% is crucial for activating his S3 and S2 as well as ensuring optimal damage.
- Crit DMG: CRIT DMG is the next best offensive stat to stack after reaching 100% CRIT RATE.
- ATK: ATK, while not as good as CRIT DMG, is still a good damage boost. Pick it up where possible while stacking both CRIT stats.
- Effect ACC: Batsby has two debuffs in his kit and if you intend on landing both semi-consistently in endgame you'll need some Effect ACC. With that said, this is not mandatory as Batsby can simply rely on his teammates for debuff application instead.
- SPD: When playing Batsby alongside gauge boosters like Lily, SPD is a stat that can and will end up wasted. However if Batsby isn't paired with a gauge booster pushing him constantly, SPD becomes one of his top DMG stats in extended fights and for those aiming for the first mover advantage.
Shell Passives
Slot 1
ATK% > ATK
Slot 2
CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG >= SPD
Slot 3
Odd DMG% > DMG%
Passive comments
- Slot 1: ATK% is optimal, but if you're lacking in materials Flat ATK can also be used.
- Slot 2: Both Crit Rate and Crit DMG are great on him and what is best depends on the stats you have. SPD is situational choice here.
- Slot 3: Odd DMG% is optimal, but if you're lacking in materials generic DMG% can also be used.
Skill Priority
Skill Priority
S3 Lv3 > S3 lv5 = S1 Lv5 = S2 Lv5
Comments
Batsby is Lattice hungry and ideally would like to max all of his abilities - one of his best unlock paths his S1 is largely useless until the very last level where it becomes incredible; his S2 and S3 both gain cooldown reductions at Lv5 as well, making what to prioritize on him quite a dilemna.
