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.
Rin Tohsaka
- “An Gal Ta Ki Gal Šè” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Rin Tohsaka stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Talent “Gem Magecraft” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—damage keeps flowing even when Rin Tohsaka is not the active turn.
- Skill “Jeweled Sword Zelretch” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Gem Magecraft” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Rin Tohsaka’s off-turn damage.
- E0 without “Flickering Stars” 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 “Jeweled Sword Zelretch” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Rin Tohsaka is often the SP sink.
