When optimizing link skills for Culvert, the primary focus should be on maximizing burst damage. Most players prioritize Fatal timing, Cont4, and WJ4 Ring activation over specific link skill timings. Any damage-boosting link skill is generally beneficial, with the exception of Adele's link, which is not effective in this context.
Resistance Link is commonly replaced with Kanna’s Link when running Culvert.
Some players also swap Xenon’s Link for Kain’s Link, depending on personal preference and activation reliability.
Kanna’s Link: +10% Damage (Consistent)
Xenon’s Link: +10% All Stats (Stable but not as impactful for pure damage)
Kain’s Link: +17% Conditional Damage (Potentially strongest if active during burst)
Kain’s link is generally superior for bossing and Culvert, as long as its conditional effect is active during burst.
The difference between these options is minor, but Kain’s link is often preferred due to its higher damage potential during burst windows.
Some players do not use Luminous Link in Culvert due to already high IED from event buffs and gear.
If a player is running a Gollux set, they may not need Luminous Link because they already have sufficient IED coverage.
Players with Blackheart instead of a full Gollux set may still find Luminous Link useful to maintain high IED.
