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.
The Herta
- “Told Ya! Magic Happens” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so The Herta stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- “Big Brain Energy” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Hand Them Over” When enemy targets enter combat, The Herta inflicts 1 stack of "Interpretation" on them—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Into the Unreachable Veil” 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 “Told Ya! Magic Happens”, The Herta spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Big Brain Energy” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—The Herta is often the SP sink.
