Best Drive Disc sets for Hugo
Hugo's best 4-piece set is Hormone Punk. Puffer Electro is the alternative.
-
Hormone Punk Best in slot
4-piece: Upon becoming the active character in combat, the equipper's ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s
2-piece: ATK +10%. Drops from Fist and Gun.
-
4-piece: Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equipper's ATK by 15% for 12s
2-piece: PEN Ratio +8%. Drops from Madman and Follower.
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 Hugo can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of:
- Ice DMG +10%: any of Polar Metal or Notes From the Chained (they give the same bonus)
- CRIT Rate +8%: Woodpecker Electro
- PEN Ratio +8%: Puffer Electro
- ATK +10%: any of Hormone Punk or Astral Voice (they give the same bonus)
Hugo 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 DMG > CRIT Rate |
| Disk 5 | Ice DMG% > ATK% = PEN Ratio |
| Disk 6 | ATK% |
Hugo substat priority
Roll for CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Hugo, whatever else it has.
- CRIT Rate
- CRIT DMG
- ATK%
- Flat ATK
- PEN

Hugo W-Engine and skill priority
Myriad Eclipse S-rank, CRIT Rate sub-stat
Hugo's signature is tailor-made for him: large CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and DEF Ignore effects that activate in short windows around his most important skills. Nothing else comes close.

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Hugo?
Hormone Punk 4-piece, with Puffer Electro as the alternative. For the 2-piece, any set with Ice DMG +10%, CRIT Rate +8%, PEN Ratio +8% or ATK +10% works.
What main stats should Hugo use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate. Disk 5: Ice DMG% > ATK% = PEN Ratio. Disk 6: ATK%. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Hugo need?
In priority order: CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, Flat ATK, PEN. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Hugo; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Hugo's Drive Discs?
Hormone Punk drops from the Fist and Gun Area Patrol stage, alongside Fanged Metal. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
