Light Cone
Those Many SpringsThose Many Springs adds Effect Hit Rate and applies an incoming-damage vulnerability through Sampo's attacks, improving his DoTs and the team's detonations.
Eyes of the PreyEyes of the Prey gives exactly the two stats Sampo needs: Effect Hit Rate for Wind Shear and direct DoT amplification.
FermataFermata increases Break Effect and damage against Shocked or Wind-Sheared targets, a condition Sampo maintains himself.
It is purchasable and superimposable through the Forgotten Hall shop.
Relics
Prisoner in Deep Confinement supplies ATK and DoT-based DEF ignore, which a Kafka team can keep fully stacked.
When to use it : Maintain three DoTs for the full DEF ignore; otherwise use the mixed set.
Two Prisoner pieces add ATK and two Eagle pieces add Wind DMG without requiring three simultaneous DoTs.
Planar Ornaments
Revelry by the Sea rewards Sampo's high ATK and adds DoT damage at its second threshold, directly scaling Wind Shear.
When to use it : Secure 2,400 ATK first; pursue 3,600 only after 134 SPD and 67% EHR.
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise supplies Effect Hit Rate and converts part of it into ATK, easing Sampo's two main stat requirements.

- 2Basic Attack when stacks are stable to preserve Skill Points for Kafka.
- 3Cast Ultimate before Kafka detonates the active DoTs.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The review measures five-stack Wind Shear uptime, Ultimate DoT vulnerability and Kafka detonation timing. CRIT is excluded from the primary target list because this is the DoT build.
