Strengths & Weaknesses

Anaxa

Strengths
  • “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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Jade

Strengths
  • “Vow of the Deep” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs, so Jade stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
  • Skill “Acquisition Surety” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—the rotation wants controlled self-damage, not panic healing that cancels the state.
  • Talent “Fang of Flare Flaying” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
Weaknesses
  • “Fang of Flare Flaying” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Jade below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “Yet Hope Is Priceless” 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.
  • HP-spend skills mean Jade can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
