Buddy Fairchild
Who is Buddy Fairchild?
Buddy Fairchild is a 5-star Plant-afflatus DPS carry who is completely free and widely regarded as one of the strongest 5-star damage dealers available. His kit revolves around the [Buddy Badge] system — stacking up to 10 charges of a 3% ATK buff each. When he consumes 10 stacks with his AOE Ultimate, it deals massive damage and is guaranteed to crit, while simultaneously granting all allies a 30% DMG Dealt buff. Prydwen highlights him as an excellent free character who punches well above his rarity bracket and delivers both personal burst and powerful team-wide buffs.
技能简介
Gained from incantations and passive triggers — each stack adds 3% ATK (up to 10 stacks / 30% ATK bonus). Consuming all 10 stacks with his Ultimate guarantees a crit on the Ultimate.
At 10 stacks, his Ultimate lands as a guaranteed critical hit on all enemies — high multipliers plus crit guarantee equals exceptional damage floor.
His Ultimate always grants all allies 30% DMG Dealt for the round — one of the strongest team-wide offensive buffs in the game from a 5-star.
Passive stack generation on ally actions accelerates badge accumulation between his own turns.
配装攻略
🔮 最佳遗器/声骸套装
Resonance: ATK% and Incantation Might maximise his Ultimate's guaranteed-crit burst. Critical DMG is valuable since his Ultimate always crits at 10 stacks — more Crit DMG directly scales his highest-damage hit.
⚔ 最佳光锥/武器
Brave New World (BiS, prydwen): 18% Ultimate Might aligns perfectly with his stack-into-Ultimate rotation; the stacking Incantation Might bonus activates immediately after each Ultimate cast. His Own Muse (alternative): 18% Incantation Might baseline plus a DMG Bonus on Ultimate cast — straightforward and effective without requiring additional setup.
📊 副属性优先级
👥 最佳阵容
Free team core: Buddy Fairchild + Sonetto + Lorelei + healer — Sonetto and Lorelei are both free; Lorelei's Crit DMG% buff amplifies his guaranteed-crit Ultimate enormously.
Plant team: Buddy Fairchild + Spathodea + Vila + sustain — Spathodea and Buddy synergise as Plant carries; Vila provides top-tier healing and buffs.
零氪建议
Buddy Fairchild is obtained for free through the 2nd Anniversary campaign — no pulls required. His Portrays are also earnable in-game. His best psychubes (Brave New World, His Own Muse) are accessible to F2P players. He is the single highest-priority free investment in the current patch for all player types.
常见问题
How does the [Buddy Badge] system work?
Buddy accumulates [Buddy Badge] stacks (up to 10) from his incantations and passive triggers. Each stack grants 3% ATK (30% total at max). When he uses his Ultimate with 10 stacks, it consumes all stacks for a massive AOE attack that is guaranteed to crit. Fewer than 10 stacks means no crit guarantee and lower damage.
What is the 30% team DMG buff and how long does it last?
Every time Buddy uses his Ultimate he grants all allies 30% DMG Dealt for that round. This is unconditional — it applies regardless of stack count. It is one of the strongest short-duration team buffs in the game and one of the main reasons to run him even in non-Plant teams.
Is Buddy Fairchild good in non-Plant teams?
Yes — his 30% team DMG buff is afflatus-agnostic and his personal damage is strong regardless of team composition. He loses some minor passive synergies outside a Plant team but remains one of the best free DPS choices for any mixed line-up.
