Pogranichnik

Physical Vanguard 6★ Buffer Damage tier B Support tier S+ Difficulty: Medium Rhodes Island

Verdict

The Physical backbone: builds Vulnerability, applies Breach and, with his Ultimate, opens a window that recovers lots of SP and buffs the team — the economic engine of every Physical comp. He hits hard as a sub-DPS, but shines as an enabler: without him, Breach chains run out of resources.

Maygi — Physical (Ardelia)

Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Ardelia

Mid-High CC / Mobs & Elites
PhysicalCrushVulnerabilitySustain

The pure physical core with sustain. Chen Qianyu manufactures Vulnerability, Mi Fu eats it twice per cycle with her double Crush, Pog applies Breach, and Ardelia heals while leaving a very long Physical Susceptibility. The most comfortable of the three.

Maygi — Physical (Lifeng)

Mi Fu · Chen Qianyu · Pogranichnik · Lifeng

High CC / Mobs & Elites
PhysicalCrushFast RotationSustainless

The same physical core, but swapping Ardelia for Lifeng for a rotation ~10s faster. Lifeng adds an extra debuff and SP that counts toward Vulnerability, at the cost of losing the healing.

Pakinov - Physical with Akekuri and double Crush

Rossi · Pogranichnik · Akekuri; Breach first and four Crushes inside the Stagger

High (the whole burst must fit inside the Stagger) Boss / Single-target
PhysicalVulnerability in batches of fourDouble CrushLink into Ultimate

The only one of the three rotations in the Mi Fu video missing from the catalog — the other two are the Maygi teams already living on this tab — and, per the author, the one with the highest damage potential for Mi Fu. The showcase runs level 1 weapons on Mi Fu and Rossi («the damage is simply absurd», but no benchmark). The video itself anticipates the evolution: «when Camille releases she can replace Akekuri» — that version already exists in the catalog, documented by 叫我棉被, and the author later placed it 5% ahead in exchange for a good deal more complexity.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Ember (the wall that stacks)

Chen · Ember · Pog; utility — the Ember parry pays 2 stacks and heals

Medium (utility branch) Boss (0 energy start)
SurvivabilityEmber parryBatches of 4 stacks

«Another favorite team of mine when we need more survivability» (1.3 era; part 2 of his Mi Fu guide, with a 0 energy start). Chen is the main Vulnerability source, Pog consumes it cashing SP, and Ember turns the hits from the boss into a resource: swap into the incoming attack, Battle Skill with the Protection from her talent, and her Combo triggers on its own — two Knock Downs that pay 2 stacks for 100 SP, healing included.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Catcher (the wall with retaliation)

Chen · Catcher · Pog; utility — the shield stacks on its own and the Former Finery heals

Medium (utility branch) Boss (0 energy start)
SurvivabilityPassive retaliationFormer Finery

The twin of the Ember variant (1.3 era): «almost the same, with the Catcher parry if needed and the order of the Battle Skills from Catcher and Chen swapped». His shield blocks, hands out Protection, returns 30 SP and answers every hit with 1 Vulnerability stack; with the Former Finery, it also heals now and then whoever takes damage while Protected. The burst adds the Weaken from the Ultimate of Catcher to the Crush window.

Zn0nym0us - Mi Fu with Da Pan (the stack battery)

Chen · Da Pan · Pog; the wok famous for its Crush, employed here as a generator

Medium (two scheduling rules) Boss (0 energy start)
Stack battery2 stacks per wokEarly Chen

«Da Pan is well known for his strong Crush damage, but on the Mi Fu team we use him as a Vulnerability stack battery» (1.3 era). With an Ultimate charge set and his potential, a single Battle Skill leaves 2 stacks every 45 seconds — the Lift from the wok plus the extra stack from the keystone. The scheduling rule: his Combo goes AFTER the Breach from Pog consumes.

Very-high-ceiling physical comp on a single continuous combo chain: predictable and satisfying, but demands exact timings and dodging.

Zn0nym0us - Rossi with Lifeng and his two Links

Pogranichnik · Lifeng · Akekuri; two hours of testing for a burst where Lifeng consumes one Link and Rossi the other

High (4.5/5 from the author; damage 4/5) Boss / Endgame (0 Ultimate at the start)
F2PTwo Links splitBreachCombo control

A viewer asked for Lifeng with Rossi and the author confessed the cost: «almost two hours of testing» before finding a reliable rotation, because the Combo from Lifeng is hard to control (1.1 era). The result is this team and its signature: the burst generates two Links and splits them — the Ultimate from Lifeng consumes the first and the one from Rossi the second. Pogranichnik brings the Breach and Akekuri the usual glue.

Zn0nym0us - Rossi with Pogranichnik (the best personal damage)

Pogranichnik · Gilberta · Perlica; 5/5 with Breach all fight — and the final Breach after the Ultimate, for the snapshot

Medium (3/5 from the author; damage 5/5) Boss / Endgame (0 Ultimate at the start)
Personal damageSustained BreachSnapshotCorrosion by Ultimate

«The best personal damage team for Rossi» of the 13-team guide (1.1 era): the Breach from Pogranichnik raises physical damage taken across the WHOLE fight — not only the burst — and feeds the basic, the Battle Skill, the Combo and the first talent from Rossi at once. A single rotation serves as opening and loop, and the author scores it 5/5 damage at 3/5 difficulty: «very simple».

Zn0nym0us - Rossi with Ardelia and the clean enemy

Pogranichnik · Ardelia · Gilberta; difficulty 3/5 — the circle of dirtying, cashing and cleaning

Medium (3/5 from the author; damage 3.5/5) Boss / Endgame (0 Ultimate at the start)
Clean enemyDouble SusceptibilityPog as the janitorPhysical side

The sheet that explains why Ardelia is not the second best support for Rossi (1.1 era): her Combo only triggers on a Final Strike against an enemy WITHOUT Vulnerability or Arts Infliction — exactly what Rossi needs and manufactures. The solution is Pogranichnik, «the number 1 choice for any team with Ardelia»: his Breach consumes the stacks, returns SP and leaves the enemy clean for the next cycle. 3.5/5 damage, 3/5 difficulty.

终末协约攻略组 - Mixed, NO Camille: Purrchena · Mi Fu · Pogranichnik

Purrchena · Mi Fu · Pogranichnik; Rossi's mixed team without Camille: Battle Skills 1-2-2 and 1-3-3 in team order

Low (repeat 1-2-2 and 1-3-3) General / Survival
MixedNo CamilleVulnerabilitySurvival

Rossi's mixed team for anyone without Camille: Purrchena takes his seat and, according to the author, partly covers the SP Camille used to return. Rossi and Mi Fu are the two carries and Pogranichnik is the sub-DPS. The axis is a short loop of Battle Skills in team order (1-2-2, 1-3-3): Rossi opens the Vulnerability, Purrchena applies the Nature Infliction that lights Rossi's Combo, and at 4 layers Mi Fu finishes with Trail and Mangle and World Splitter. According to the author, two loops are usually enough to fill the Ultimate, which goes out to land the burst in the enemy's Stagger. In exchange for somewhat less total damage, Purrchena adds survivability.

Camille + Pogranichnik form a double-vanguard core with nearly bottomless SP: infinite-fire mode for Rossi (main control) and Mi Fu (Battle Skill burst at 3 Vulnerability stacks). 4th-slot alternatives: Ardelia (double Susceptibility) or Ember (survivability + free Vulnerability).

Pogranichnik is a Rhodes Island operator assigned to Endfield Industries where he serves as a military consultant under the framework agreement between the two companies.

With deep knowledge of military theory and hard-won experience in team combat, Pogranichnik leads his unit through even the most unexpected crises. Once commander of the Shieldguard Banner in the Order of Steel Oath, he and his troops came to be regarded as among the most reliable on the front lines against the Aggeloi. But as the situation on Talos-II grew increasingly complex, he joined Endfield Industries without hesitation. He firmly believes that the Endministrator will lead Talos-II onto a new path, just as he once envisioned.
