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.
Jing Yuan
- “Lightbringer” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Jing Yuan stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Talent “Prana Extirpated” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Skill “Rifting Zenith” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Prana Extirpated” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Jing Yuan below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- E0 without “Before Dawn” 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.
- Spamming “Rifting Zenith” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Jing Yuan is often the SP sink.
