Ey! Ma'am, sorry to bother but I'm building my own abyss hunters and was just wondering if I could have your thoughts on masteries?

Who should I prioritize and which skills would you consider a must? All of them are e2 lvl 80 and at the moment Specter is the only one to have m2, all other are lvl 7.

This all started because of Ulpianus, who I just leveled to 80 and have no clue on how to use his kit.

Hope you are well

Hello! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

You are not bothering me at all, I love answering questions! I am doing well, I hope you are as well! Thank you for your question once again! ♥(✿ฺ´∀`✿ฺ)ﾉ

As for who you should prioritize, I think it depends on personal preference really! The general and short answer would be Ulpianus and Gladiia as they are pretty strong together. The long one, all of them are worth investing.

If you are gonna use them as your main team, you should really focus on getting their modules as soon as possible. If you are gonna use them as standalone operators, they might not need as much investment but again, that's a personal choice. I know it might be a controversial thing to say but I think getting their modules first than giving them masteries is overall a better idea but it depends on what you can do and how many resources you have! So you do you, anything works really, heh.

As for Ulpianus, he's really easy to use and you don't need to worry, it just depends on what skill you will use but he's mostly going to be a damage dealer as well as one of your tankiest characters that can self sustain himself just fine.

For modules though, I would highly advise you to grab the following:

Gladiia: Definitely her first module as soon as possible. It's absolutely broken and gives your AH more healing and permanent damage reduction against most enemies and damage. I would highly advise you get this before investing in everything else. Her second module is alright, but it's more catered to very niche clears and it can be a thing to invest in later on but it isn't necessary, unless you want lore. Because we all do. We all like to cry.

Ulpianus: His module is really good and I would also advise you to get it as soon as possible. More healing is really good and the more, the better. It might not be the biggest buff but I personally think it's better than nothing.

Specter The Unchained: Both. Both are good and are honestly a huge game changer for her. Get both. First one is more damage oriented while the second is geared towards buffing the AH and giving them faster SP Regen. Both!

Skadi: Same thing with Specter, honestly. Both are amazing, her first module makes her deal more damage to any units she's blocking and makes a pseudo fast redeploy and the second one buffs the AH and also makes her be able to "revive" with 50% of her original HP and go in for a second beating. It's amazing as well but her first one is also fantastic.

Andreana: Absolutely fantastic module that gives you free ATK SPD for some reason. Definitely something to get as well.

Guard Specter: While her module might not seem the most crazy thing ever, that little bit more of damage she can give to the AH is pretty nice and can make a difference. Would get it as well but it wouldn't be my first priority.

As for masteries, Gladiia or Ulpianus could go first but again, this order can be taken in any order you want. ;)

Gladiia: Definitely a very good candidate for M9. I will die on this hill alone if need be but M9 Gladiia is fantastic and a very good investment. Now, here's my preferred order: S2 -> S3 -> S1 (S2 before S3 because I think it has great up and down time and deals really good damage but S3 if you just want more CC! S1 is a must for me as she's the only 6 star puller we have in game and it deals pretty good damage!)

Ulpianus: S2 -> S3, the order doesn't matter as much since both are broken. His S2 is just an AFK that turns him into an immoveable wall with 3 block that deals a lot of damage and S3 is pure damage with an added stun which is amazing for pretty much anything. The range is really good as well and it has a short downtime so it's super fun to use!

Specter The Unchained: S2 -> S3. Damage, damage and more damage! Both are great and I would focus on finishing S2 when you can as it is her main skill that works wonders with her first module but her S3 can do some nasty damage if you get it right and it's AOE damage because, yeah! Shark!

Skadi: S2 -> S3. Her S2 is her bread and butter with her first module. Her S3 is perfect with her second module and is a great skull if you want immoveable wall 2.0.

Skadi and Specter Alter kinda do suffer a bit if you don't get their modules as their performance is good without them but with their respective motives, can do some amazing things. So I would say modules first and then skills second but again, personal opinion. :')

Andreana and Guard Specter: S2 is the go to if you want to get theirs done as well, but Andreana also can benefit from getting masteries for her S1 as her S2 is great but you might not need it all the time.

Again, this is all my personal preference and you are free to do whatever you want! I have them all at M9 and have all their modules and potentials as they are my main team and damage dealers. I hope this helped a bit! Thank you once again for this question, hehe! ಥ⌣ಥ
