Seeing as his buff pool is mainly directed towards defensive and management related buffs, I would suggest equipping him with any sort of BC boosting sphere or Defense/HP/Recovery parameter boosting sphere. After all, Stein does not have a high damage output, so it would be better to make him tankier instead. Even a cookie cutter sphere set would be good (40-45% parameter boost sphere + 15% parameter boost sphere with extra effect). Just take note that it's useless to equip him with an ailment negating sphere since his Extra Skill negates elements already.

If I were to suggest something, I'd say equip him with "Beiorg's Armor" and "Schism Orb". The latter is a free get from beating Paris' Trial, and Beiorg's Armor, while a bit hard to attain, is well worth it. This way, you get an innate HoT, HC when hit, BC when hit, and a total 55% boost to all parameters.

I hope this helped! (ovo)/
