Quick answer

Use evolved Puppet as a damage amplifier and control hybrid: Primordial improves mark coverage, Unbound favors personal damage and Doll scaling, and Calamity’s Eye is the preferred equipment for the complete kit.

Primordial versus Unbound

Primordial is the practical support-first choice because extra range helps Puppet mark priority enemies and keeps more of the route inside its control area. That coverage matters when the team is using Puppet to amplify a carry rather than asking it to win through personal damage.

Unbound is the damage-first alternative. It is better suited to a build that values Puppet's own attacks and stronger Doll scaling. Draconic and other useful offensive traits can be kept while you finish Telekinetic evolution and Calamity’s Eye instead of consuming every Trait Crystal immediately.

Why Calamity’s Eye is best in slot

Calamity’s Eye is the preferred equipment because it is designed around Puppet's marked-target and Doll mechanics. Both detailed Puppet guides connect it to offensive stats, range, and stronger Doll behavior, so it supports the entire evolved kit rather than only one generic stat.

Kunai, Accursed Equipment, and Magic Book are workable standard alternatives. Use the option with a live effect that improves the role you need: range and mark coverage for support, attack timing for more activity, or direct damage while farming the exclusive item.

Best teammates and placement

Place Puppet where its range covers the boss lane and the enemies your main carry is attacking. Yuta benefits from the same priority-target setup, while Shadow, 8th Sword, and Dark Mage supply the concentrated damage that makes Puppet's amplification valuable.

Salmon Sorcerer adds crowd control so enemies remain in range longer. Toy Maker adds summon pressure, and Ramen Guy funds upgrades in longer modes. Avoid stacking support units when the team lacks a carry strong enough to convert the mark into a clear.

When to invest in Puppet

Complete the Telekinetic evolution before judging the finished build because the evolved form unlocks the control and equipment interactions that justify the investment. In a real run, fund the primary carry first and bring Puppet online when elites or the boss need amplification.

Puppet is strongest in Raids, Expeditions, Tournaments, and long maps where marks, Dolls, and rewinds have time to repeat. On short Story stages, a cheaper wave-clear unit may solve the route before Puppet’s full utility becomes necessary.
