At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Anaxa
- “Sprouting Life Sculpts Earth” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Anaxa stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “Fractal, Exiles Fallacy” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Anaxa can implant or force Wind-relevant Weakness from the kit itself—Break and Toughness routes stay online even when the MoC line-up did not list Wind.
- E0 without “Life Should Be Cast to Flames” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Erudition carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Sprouting Life Sculpts Earth”, Anaxa spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Fractal, Exiles Fallacy” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Anaxa is often the SP sink.
Herta
- “It's Magic, I Added Some Magic” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Herta stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Talent “Fine, I'll Do It Myself” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Herta is not the active turn.
- Skill “One-Time Offer” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Fine, I'll Do It Myself” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Herta’s off-turn damage.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Herta is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “One-Time Offer” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Herta is often the SP sink.
