Billy's signature is his best option by a wide margin, all the more valuable because Rupture Agents have few good alternatives. HP% mainstat, unconditional CRIT Rate and a stacking Sheer DMG buff give him exactly what he needs.

Yixuan's signature is a straightforward stat stick for Billy. Its high base ATK matters little for Rupture scaling, but 20% unconditional CRIT Rate is very valuable given how heavily loaded he already is on CRIT DMG.

The best A-rank for Billy by a wide margin: HP% mainstat, a useful mix of buffs, and full uptime that he maintains effortlessly. It lands barely behind limited picks such as Qingming Birdcage.

Although designed for Attackers, this Standard S-rank brings a CRIT Rate mainstat, and that alone puts it above most A-rank choices for Billy.

Billy can drain his own HP with Drive Suppression, but rarely does so mid-combo. Doing it before every Adrenaline EX is possible, yet his long animations would push attacks past the stun window, effectively trading CRIT Rate for Stun DMG Multiplier. Assumed at 50% uptime; most of its value comes from the HP% mainstat.
