At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Arlan
- “Frenzied Punishment” dumps a huge single-target Lightning multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Shackle Breaker” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Pain and Anger” Based on Arlan's current missing HP percentage—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- HP-spend skills mean Arlan can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
- As a 4★ Destruction unit, Arlan is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Shackle Breaker” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Arlan is often the SP sink.
Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae
- “Azure's Aqua Ablutes All” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Dracore Libre” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Righteous Heart” After each hit dealt during an attack—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Brighter Than the Sun” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Azure's Aqua Ablutes All”, Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Dracore Libre” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae is often the SP sink.
