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.
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.
