Shared Team Members

With Avywenna

Perlica is mandatory setup for Avywenna. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction so Thunderlance skills function; Combo Skill Electrification on Final Strike feeds Arclight's SP battery.

With Rossi

Perlica is the Electric enabler. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction on demand; Combo Skill applies Electrification on Final Strike so Electric kits like Rossi's can actually function.
