Endministrator Endministrator / 
Da Pan Da Pan ? In these teams, you have two Operators that want to consume Vulnerable. As such, you alternate the rotation. Pogranichnik will refund SP to make the next rotation faster, and also applies a Physical Damage Taken debuff on Breach.

Thermite Cutter Thermite CutterIt’s no secret that Pogranichnik’s Signature Weapon is the best option for him, but it only provides Physical Damage for your teammates. Sure, he’s supposed to be played in a Physical Team, but in case you’re using operators from another Element there are more generic options for Pogranichnik. Eminent Repute is another solid option, but Thermite Cutter is free from the 6-Star Weapon Selector you get upon finishing your 40 Beginner Pulls. This is a very competitive option and should likely be the weapon you pick if you have Pogranichnik on your account.

How to Play
Like the Endministrator, Pogranichnik thrives on Vulnerable Stacks. However, instead of just Crushing enemies, he consumes stacks to enhance his Combo Skill, recover SP, and Breach enemies to boost team Physical Damage.
Core Mechanic: Vulnerable Stacks
His Combo Skill triggers after Crush or Breach consumes Vulnerable Stacks. The damage dealt and SP recovered scale with the number of stacks consumed. Ideally, fully stack Vulnerable (4 stacks) before using his Battle Skill to consume them, then follow up with his Combo Skill for maximum SP generation.
Ultimate & Talents
His Ultimate deals damage and generates significant SP. Use it as soon as possible to start building the next one. His Combat Talents increase his ATK and Arts Intensity after recovering SP, which also buffs teammates who apply Vulnerable Stacks during his Ultimate.
Rotation Strategy
Use other Operators to apply 4 Vulnerable Stacks.
Use Pogranichnik's Battle Skill to consume stacks.
Follow up with his Combo Skill for massive SP generation.
Use his Ultimate whenever available.
Repeat the cycle.
