At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Argenti
- “For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Argenti stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “Justice, Hereby Blooms” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Sublime Object” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- E0 without “An Instant Before A Gaze” 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 “For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows”, Argenti spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Justice, Hereby Blooms” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Argenti is often the SP sink.
Himeko
- “Heavenly Flare” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Himeko stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- “Molten Detonation” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Victory Rush” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Himeko is not the active turn.
- Follow-Ups from “Victory Rush” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Himeko’s off-turn damage.
- E0 without “Night on the Milky Way” 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 “Molten Detonation” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Himeko is often the SP sink.
