Ezio Auditore
Who is Ezio Auditore?
Ezio Auditore is a 6-star Star-afflatus DPS from the Assassin's Creed collaboration who centres on the [Assassination] mechanic — triggering Final DMG Bonus for every 100 Critical Technique difference between him and his target. He forgoes Moxie entirely, using [Synchronization] gained from triggering [Assassination], ripostes, or defeating enemies to power his Ultimate. His weapon system adapts him across three archetypes (War Hammer, Way of Ares, Hidden Blade) with nine total playstyle variations. Prydwen rates him as an incredibly flexible character whose guide was last updated May 2026.
Kit Summary
Triggers when Crit Tech exceeds the enemy's by 100+ — each trigger generates Final DMG Bonus. The core of his offensive identity and the reason maximising Critical Technique is the primary build priority.
Charged by [Assassination] procs, ripostes, and enemy defeats — entirely self-sufficient and not dependent on ally Moxie generation.
Three weapon types (War Hammer = Ultimate DPS; Way of Ares = FUA/Riposte; Hidden Blade = Poison/Genesis) each with multiple sub-builds, offering nine distinct playstyle paths.
Kassandra applying [Lethal Injury] and her Force Field effects directly enable Ezio's [Eagle's Guidance] stacks for his most optimal builds.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: Critical DMG is the highest priority — his [Assassination] proc relies on Crit Tech differences and scales hard off Crit DMG amplification. Critical Rate investment ensures consistent proc triggers. ATK rounds out the build for base damage.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
As the Bell Tolls (signature BiS, prydwen): Most enemies have 0 Critical Technique, granting a free 11–22% DMG Bonus on attack — a passive stat advantage with no conditions. Outside the City (FUA/Way of Ares build): 16% Critical Rate to reach ~92% Crit Rate at R10; stacks 20–50% Critical DMG with his frequent follow-ups. Luxurious Leisure (War Hammer Ultimate build): 18% Ultimate Might with fast stack-up via Euphoria Melania and Hissabeth's Ultimate cycling. Falling for a Sweet Phenomenon (Hidden Blade Poison build): Ezio's frequent FUAs stack up to 30–60% Genesis DMG Dealt quickly; 20% Crit DMG and 8% ATK as bonuses.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Assassination core: Ezio + Kassandra + Melania + Flutterpage — Kassandra on 2-0-3 enables [Eagle's Guidance]; Melania stacks [Fixed Plan] Ultimate Might; Flutterpage amplifies FUA output via [Gust] and Forcefield.
War Hammer Ultimate: Ezio + Melania + Hissabeth + sustain — Hissabeth and Melania enable fast Ultimate cycling; Hissabeth's [Hiss!] cards maintain Moxie pressure.
F2P Verdict
Ezio Auditore is a time-limited Assassin's Creed collaboration 6-star — availability depends entirely on collaboration banner schedules. As the Bell Tolls is his signature BiS. Outside the City and Luxurious Leisure are accessible alternatives depending on build path. Kassandra (also a collab limited) is his ideal partner — players who miss either banner lose both sides of the collaboration synergy.
