Best Drive Disc sets for Claret
Claret's 4-piece set is Thorned Rose. No other 4-piece set is recommended, so there is no substitute worth farming.
-
Thorned Rose Best in slot
4-piece: The equipper's DMG increases by 15%. When the equipper's initial DEF is at least 1,000/1,800, CRIT Rate increases by 8/16%
2-piece: DEF +16%. Drops from Swiftspine and Splitclaw.
2-piece options
For the 2-piece slot the bonus matters, not the set's name. Several sets share the same 2-piece bonus, so Claret can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:
- DEF +16%: any of Soul Rock or Thorned Rose (they give the same bonus)
- CRIT Rate +8%: Woodpecker Electro
- PEN Ratio +8%: Puffer Electro
Claret main stats: Disk 4, 5 and 6
Disks 1 to 3 always roll HP, ATK and DEF as their main stat, so the choice is on 4, 5 and 6. A > means "better than"; = means the two are about as good.
| Slot | Main stat, best first |
|---|---|
| Disk 4 | CRIT Rate |
| Disk 5 | PEN Ratio |
| Disk 6 | DEF% |
Claret substat priority
Roll for CRIT Rate and DEF% first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Claret, whatever else it has.
- CRIT Rate
- DEF%
- CRIT DMG
- PEN
- Flat DEF
Where to farm Claret's Drive Discs
Thorned Rose drops from the Swiftspine and Splitclaw Area Patrol stage. The other set it drops, Feathered Fate, is not part of Claret's build.

| Swiftspine and Splitclaw | Feathered Fate (not in this build) Thorned Rose (best 4-piece) |
| Tower and Cannon | Woodpecker Electro (2-piece option) Soul Rock (2-piece option) |
| Madman and Follower | Puffer Electro (2-piece option) Inferno Metal (not in this build) |

Claret W-Engine and skill priority
Crimson Thirst S-rank, DEF sub-stat
Signature and best-in-slot by a wide margin. The 48% DEF mainstat feeds her Sharp scaling directly, 25% CRIT Rate covers the stat her kit is hungriest for, and 15% Electric DMG applies to everything she does. Its 12% Electric Sharp DMG buff lasts 40s and refreshes off both EX Specials and Maim, so uptime is effectively permanent.

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Claret?
Thorned Rose 4-piece. For the 2-piece, any set with DEF +16%, CRIT Rate +8% or PEN Ratio +8% works.
What main stats should Claret use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: CRIT Rate. Disk 5: PEN Ratio. Disk 6: DEF%. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Claret need?
In priority order: CRIT Rate, DEF%, CRIT DMG, PEN, Flat DEF. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Claret; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Claret's Drive Discs?
Thorned Rose drops from the Swiftspine and Splitclaw Area Patrol stage, alongside Feathered Fate. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
