Light Cone
Worrisome, BlissfulCRIT Rate, follow-up damage and a team-wide CRIT DMG debuff make the signature cone both personal and supporting power.
When to use it : Keep attacking the marked target so Tame stacks reach two and the team retains their CRIT DMG debuff.
Cruising in the Stellar SeaIts CRIT Rate and conditional ATK bonus are reliable free damage stats when Topaz focuses low-HP targets.
This five-star cone is purchased and superimposed through Herta's Store rather than a limited Warp.
SwordplayRepeated attacks against one marked priority target let Topaz and Numby build its stacking damage bonus.
This four-star Warp cone is not tied to the Battle Pass.
Race to the HorizonRace to the Horizon supplies ATK and ramping CRIT DMG for Topaz and Numby's follow-up loop. It is a Version 4.5 alternative, without assuming it beats the existing signature or a fully superimposed option.
When to use it : Build CRIT DMG through repeated wearer Follow-Up ATKs, up to ten stacks lasting two turns; do not assume the maximum bonus at combat start.
Relics
A normal Numby follow-up hits seven times before Grand Duke resets, while the empowered version reaches the full eight-stack ATK buff.
When to use it : Use Turn a Profit! to put Numby in Windfall Bonanza!: its empowered eight-hit follow-up is required to reach all eight Ashblazing Grand Duke ATK stacks.
Pioneer is a source-listed alternative when the target is debuffed.
Planar Ornaments
A follow-up team rapidly caps the stacking follow-up damage and CRIT DMG bonuses for Numby.
When to use it : Let allies perform follow-up attacks until Duran reaches five Merit stacks.
Inert Salsotto supports CRIT and follow-up damage.
Team lineup
Feixiao and Aventurine generate frequent follow-ups, Robin amplifies the whole sequence, and Topaz supplies the marked-target vulnerability.
When to use it : Keep Proof of Debt on the priority target so every allied follow-up advances Numby and receives the vulnerability bonus.

Trace priority
- Skill
- Talent
- Ultimate
Topaz & Numby marks one enemy with Proof of Debt, increases its follow-up damage taken and advances Numby whenever allies launch follow-up attacks.
How to play it
- 1Apply Difficulty Paying? to the priority target whenever Proof of Debt would otherwise sit on the wrong enemy.
- 2Use basic attacks after the mark is stable to generate Skill Points without losing follow-up pressure.
- 3Cast Turn a Profit! before a dense follow-up sequence so Numby's enhanced attacks receive every team buff.
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
Character kits, equipment and conditions reviewed against released Version 4.6 data. Added 22008 as a ramping follow-up alternative; retained signature and Duran, with eight Grand Duke stacks from enhanced Numby. Cones 21066, 23055 and 23064 are Elation, while 23063 is Remembrance; their passives are incompatible with this Path. 22008 supplies ATK and CRIT DMG up to ten two-turn stacks without a superimposition comparison to the signature. 134 neglects Numby follow-ups. Set 133 needs single-ally targeting and buffs Elation; its team CRIT bonus needs ten Certified Banger, which this kit does not provide. The new cone's maximum is not immediate; Proof of Debt must stay on the priority target. No new damage simulation or refreshed community consensus; effect review uses the exact local 4.6 snapshot, with GitHub web access unavailable. This review includes no new damage simulation; historical community-analysis consultation dates are preserved. Methodological baseline from the previous dossier (review 4.4, reference calculations 4.0): Prydwen and Icy Veins agree that Proof of Debt and frequent allied follow-ups define Topaz's value. The 4.0 baseline was checked against the immutable released 4.0–4.4 delta and local 4.4 effects; Duran's five allied follow-ups and Grand Duke's seven normal versus eight Windfall Bonanza hits are explicit.

Independent fan recommendations based on released data. Topaz loses team value when allies rarely use follow-up attacks or cannot focus Proof of Debt.
