Ultimate Valby has access to exclusive transcendent modules:

  • Spiral Tidal Wave
  • Hydro Pressure Bomb

However, the best transcendent module for Valby, in my opinion, is Supply Moisture, which increases skill critical hit rate, skill duration, and fire attribute trigger rate without applying MP reduction.
