Apseudes Persona Skill Priorities
Here are the suggested Persona skills to level up for Apseudes in order of priority:
Skill Number
Skill Priority
★★★★ (Very High)
★★★ (High)
★★ (Medium)
Sparky Surprise is Apseudes' key Persona skill to level because it dramatically increases her attacks and follow-up Electric damage during fights.Also, the Jolly Cooperation damage buff will activate through this Persona skill.Another important skill is the Electric Bomb, since it helps Apseudes to deal additional Electric attacks and inflict Shock or paralysis-related effects on enemies.
Apseudes Persona Skill Rotation
Here’s the recommended Persona skill rotation for Apseudes:
First Turn
Second Turn
Third Turn
Fourth Turn
Apseudes' skill rotation alternates between her Spark Surprise and Electric Bomb skills.Begin your first turn by using Sparky Surprise on another DPS teammate to set up for Apseudes' Follow-up attacks. Then, on your next turn, use the Electric Bomb skill on a single target to deal Electric damage and inflict a Shock effect. Always use Apseudes' Highlight skill whenever it is available.
Meta Dynamite can be used at times to target several enemies, but it is only effective if they are all weak to Electric attribute attacks.

Awareness Skill Priority
Getting Bui to A1 boosts the Crit Rate of her Follow-up attacks against Shocked enemies.Additionally, it increases the effectiveness of her Jolly Cooperation damage buff when active. If you want Bui to maximize the potential of her Follow-up damage, you must get multiple copies of her and reach A6. However, this is not advisable because powerful Electric DPS, such as Akihiko Sanada, will be arriving in the future. Consider Bui as your Sub DPS or Support DPS for now.
If you are pulling Bui at A1, you should change your Revelation Star Card from Crit Rate to Crit Multiplier to boost her overall Critical damage in battle.

Best Card Sets for Bui
Bui, as a DPS unit, has multiple card set options.Here are recommendedSpace and Revelation card setsfor Bui and Apseudes, along with their optimal main stats and substats:
Growth and Renewal/Completion Card Set (Electric Follow-Up DPS Build)
Active Card Effects
5★ Growth Card
5★ Renewal Card
Bui’s best-in-slot card combo in Persona 5: The Phantom X is the Growth and Renewal/Completion card set. Compared to other card sets, this set improves her Electric skills and Follow-up attacks through Crit damage increases. Also, this card pairing is her top choice for completing late-game main story content, which includes taking down elite shadows and powerful bosses.In addition, this card set’s Electric damage stacks serve as an extra damage boost for Bui, allowing her team to finish game modes with better scores.
Both Electric and Non-Electric teams can benefit from the Growth and Renewal/Completion card set effects.
Trust and Renewal/Completion Card Set (Electric Support DPS Build)
5★ Trust Card
If you want to use Bui and Apseudes as Support DPS, equip the Trust and Renewal/Completion card set for her in combat.This card combo boosts her team’s Electric damage, making it useful for Mono Electric teams or Electric damage dealers like Closer and Akihiko Sanada.
The Trust and Renewal/Completion card set is not effective on non-Electric DPS teammates.
Meditation and Opulence/Luxury Card Set (Pure Follow-Up DPS Build)
5★ Meditation Card
5★ Opulence
This card set, which consists of Meditation and Opulence/Luxury cards, focuses heavily on Follow-up damage. However, the card combo’s 2-set effect increases Ice damage rather than Electric damage.Even so, this card pairing is somewhat usable for future combat events or game mode mechanics that emphasize Follow-up damage bonuses.
You can try this card set for Bui temporarily. Then, reserve it for Fox, whose skill set also focuses on Follow-up damage in battle.
Growth and Power Card Set (Pure Attack DPS Build)
5★ Power Card
Bui can use the Growth and Power card combo as one of her initial card sets in the game.This set focuses on Attack damage, which is a damage resource of hers in combat.In addition, this card combo is usable for completing early missions and clearing beginner stages of game modes, such as Velvet Trials Challenge Battles.This card set is generally one of the standard sets for damage dealers.
If you started with Power Revelation Cards for Bui and no longer need them, equip them to Navigator characters like Phoebe and Okyann, or Buff Support teammates like Riddle and Moko.
Bui Card Set Main Stats and Substats
The following are the suggested primary stats and substats for Bui’s Space Card and Revelation Cards:
Card Main Stats
Planet Card
Recommended Main Stats
Card Substats
All Space and Revelation Cards
Recommended Substats
Bui’s recommended main stats and substats center around Attack Multiplier (Damage Bonus), Crit Rate, Crit Multiplier (Critical Damage), and Pierce Rate (Penetration).Speed is an optional stat for Bui since the Phantom Idol needs to get ahead of her Main DPS teammates. However, her Speed value should not be higher than that of healer, guardian, and support allies.
When it comes to her Moon Revelation Card main stat, Bui has two options: Attack Multiplier and Attack Percentage. Use the Attack Multiplier or Damage Bonus main stat for any non-Electric teams, such as Joker’s Curse team. Then, switch to an Attack Percentage Moon Card main stat for mono-Electric teams, or a team that features an Electric Main DPS, like Closer or Akihiko Sanada.
Attack Multiplier and Attack Percentage (Attack%) are separate major stats. On East Asia servers, Attack Multiplier is known as Damage Bonus.

Best Weapons for Bui
Bui’s Chakram weapons help to increase her Crit Rate and Follow-up attacks.Her bestweaponsare as follows:
Bui Weapon
Bui Weapon Effects
5★ Cyber Jammers
4★ Meta Directors
Bui’s Cyber Jammer weapon features both Critical Rate and Follow-up damage increases. While her Meta Director Chakram weapon provides less Crit Rate buffs but a decent Electric Damage boost. Picking between is a matter of combat playstyle.If you have Bui at A1, the Cyber Jammers' high Crit Rate boost will benefit her, as her Star Revelation Card preference switches to Crit Multiplier or Crit Damage.
F2P players should refrain from getting Bui’s five-star weapon because they can boost her Crit Rate, Crit Multiplier, and Follow-up Attacks with better Space and Revelation Cards or teammate buffs. You can save your weapon pulls for Fox or Queen instead.

5★ Sennight Inferno
5★ Ex Machina

5★ Magnetic Disruptor
The Sennight Inferno dagger is the standard Wonder weapon for Bui-centric teams as of Version 1.1.This dagger enables Wonder to use Normal Personas with various attributes to boost damage and weaken the enemy target’s defense in battle.
For upcoming dagger weapons, Wonder can pick between Ex Machina, Ancient Dagger, and Magnetic Disruptor.Ex Machina is effective with mono-Electric teams or a team composition made of Closer or Akihiko Sanada as your main DPS, and Bui as your Support DPS. When confronting a single enemy or boss who is vulnerable to Electric attacks, the Ancient Dagger weapon is more effective, especially if the target is affected by Shock and other Elemental Ailments. Lastly, the Magnetic Disruptor, a new dagger weapon for Electric-focused teams, provides Crit Multiplier (Critical Damage) boosts to the party and is preferable to Akihiko Sanada, who also deals Critical attacks in battle.
