Detective Build

Implement stats are fixed, not rolled. Set data is fan-compiled from the game files; where each set drops is in the Implements guide.

The Morgue Street Murder

Best

ATK % +24%

Increases the holder's Gravitas DMG by 15%. They gain Black Cat upon using their Tactical Assault, increasing their Gravitas DMG by 13% for 16s. With every 3 skills used, they gain 1 stack of Crimson Mask, lasting 16s and stacking up to 2 times. When using their Ultimate, Black Cat and Crimson Mask stacks both increase that instance of Ultimate DMG by 8%, up to a maximum of 24%.

Why: It is the one Gravitas title, and its Black Cat and Crimson Mask stacks both raise the same Ultimate the Charged Shot has already strengthened.

The Sword in Silvernia

Alternative

DMG Bonus +18%

Increases the holder's CRIT Rate by 15%. When their CRIT Rate exceeds 50%, each 1% over 50% grants 2.5% CRIT DMG, up to a maximum of 125%.

Why: Once the Detective sits above 50% CRIT Rate, each extra point becomes 2.5% CRIT DMG, capped at 125%, on both the blade and the gun.

The Destined Death

Alternative

DMG Bonus +15%

Increases the holder's CRIT Rate by 15%. When their CRIT Rate exceeds 50%, each 1% over 50% grants 0.8% ATK, up to a maximum of 40%.

Why: The Lv. 20 option with the same 50% CRIT Rate trigger, paying up to 40% ATK, so a new account can use it right away.

The Epiphany is the fifth gear slot, one per character. Duplicates raise its stats, never its effect. Effects are fan-compiled from the game files.

What every level costs is on the Detective materials page.

1. Psyche IDetectives' Golden Age. Upon using Tactical Assault, the Detective gains 3 Ammunition, and the DMG of their next 2 Charged Skills is increased by 10%.

4. Psyche IVDefying Gravity. Increases the Detective's Ultimate DMG by 30%, and Gravity Field's duration to 5s.
5. Psyche VTrue Reflections. After the Detective uses their Tactical Assault, they increase the ATK of all characters on the team by 20% for 40s.
6. Psyche VIThought and Memory. The first enemy hit by the Detective's Charged Skill takes +45% DMG.

Each Psyche costs one more copy of Detective. Effects are fan-compiled from the game files. Our reading: Psyche IV, Defying Gravity, matters most, because +30% Ultimate DMG and a Gravity Field that lasts 5s instead of 3s give the Detective two more seconds of slowed targets for the sword and gun loop. The character progression guide explains the system.
