Serval is a Lightning Erudition character who specializes in multi-target damage and applying Shock damage over time (DoT). Her Skill deals Lightning damage to a primary target and adjacent enemies, with a chance to inflict Shock, which causes DoT each turn. Her Ultimate deals AoE Lightning damage to all enemies and extends the duration of Shock debuffs, helping maintain consistent DoT. Serval’s Talent triggers bonus Lightning damage to shocked enemies whenever she uses her Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate, making her well-suited for teams that focus on AoE damage and DoT amplification.
Best Cavern Relics
(2) Increases DMG dealt to enemies with debuffs by 12%.
(4) Increases CRIT Rate by 4%. The wearer deals 8%/12% increased CRIT DMG to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs. After the wearer inflicts a debuff on enemy targets, the aforementioned effects increase by 100%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Serval’s damage output mainly comes from inflicting Shock DoTs with her Skill. Equipping this set will greatly enhance her DoT effectiveness.
(2) Increases CRIT Rate by 8%.
(4) Increases DMG dealt by Skill and Ultimate by 20%. After using Ultimate, additionally increases the DMG dealt by the next Skill by 25%.
This set amplifies only her Skill and Ultimate damage but does not improve her overall DoT output.
(2) Increases Lightning DMG by 10%.
(4) When the wearer uses their Skill, increases the wearer's ATK by 20% for 1 turn(s).
This set is worth considering for Serval, as it grants an ATK boost whenever she uses her Skill, enhancing her DoT damage output.
Best Planar Ornaments
(2) Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's ATK is higher than or equal to 2,400/3,600, increases the DoT DMG dealt by 12%/24%.
This set significantly enhances Serval’s Shock DoT, and she only needs to reach 3600 ATK to receive the high DoT boost. It is currently her best Planar Ornament and is considered the top choice for most DoT-focused characters.
(2) Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's SPD is equal to or higher than 135/160, the wearer deals 12%/18% more DMG.
Reaching the highest damage boost is somewhat complicated, as it requires Serval to have high SPD substat rolls. This makes it harder to stack ATK, which is also essential for maximizing her Shock DoT.

Serval must have at least 2,400 ATK and a 70/140 Crit Ratio to make her DMG output viable. Additionally, she needs a minimum of 135 SPD for quicker turns. To reach the highest DMG buff from the Glamoth set, she’ll need to rely on SPD-boosting effects from support characters’ relic sets or talents.
