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.
Rappa
- Ultimate “Nindō Supreme: Aishiteru” Enters the "Sealform" state—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
- Skill “Ninja Strike: Rooted Resolute” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Ninja Tech: Endurance Gauge” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker” 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.
- Rappa wants Break Effect supports and Toughness bars that can actually be broken; into awkward weakness line-ups the Complete Combustion / Break loop loses most of its damage.
- Spamming “Ninja Strike: Rooted Resolute” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Rappa is often the SP sink.

Tingyun is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
With Rappa
Tingyun amps Break Effect / action value so Toughness bars die on schedule.
With Anaxa
Pela applies DEF shred / vulnerability so the carry’s multipliers actually land.
With Rappa
Pela enables Super Break / Toughness pressure rather than a generic CRIT Harmony slot.
With Anaxa
Gallagher covers healing (and often Energy / cleanse) so the carry can stay on-curve.
With Rappa
