Recommended build

Gear sets: Perception, Speed

Stat priority: SPD to cast A3 before critical ally debuffs and nukes › ACC for Leech and HP Burn against encounter RES › HP% and DEF% for support survival › RES situational for PvP/CC-heavy fights › Crit Rate/Crit Damage/ATK only if deliberately investing in secondary personal damage

Synergies

Frozen Banshee — A3 improves resistible Poison Sensitivity/Poison applications; Leech offers sustain.
Coldheart — A3 improves ACC for Heartseeker Turn Meter depletion and C.DMG for critical hits.
Seer — A3 provides two allied buffs before Seer Karma Burn consumes them for buff-scaled wave damage.
Stag Knight — Stag Knight offers AoE Decrease DEF and ATK, covering Pestilus's lack of wide debuff mitigation; A3 supports accuracy.
Doompriest — Passive regular cleanse/heal covers Pestilus's lack of cleanse and helps consistent boss runs.
Artak — Artak activates and extends HP Burn; a Pestilus single-target Burn could contribute to existing-burn effects.
