At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Archer
- “Unlimited Blade Works” dumps a huge single-target Quantum multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Talent “Mind's Eye (True)” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Skill “Caladbolg II: Fake Spiral Sword” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Unlimited Blade Works” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Archer focuses the elite.
- “Caladbolg II: Fake Spiral Sword” wants stacks online before the big hit—interrupts, crowd control, or dying mid-ramp dump the stack count and reset the damage plan.
- “Mind's Eye (True)” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Archer below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
Feixiao
- “Terrasplit” dumps a huge single-target Wind multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Talent “Thunderhunt” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Skill “Waraxe” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Terrasplit” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Feixiao focuses the elite.
- “Thunderhunt” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Feixiao below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- E0 without “I Venture Forth to Hunt” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
