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.
Misha
- “G—Gonna Be Late!” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- “R—Room Service!” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Horological Escapement” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “G—Gonna Be Late!”, Misha spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
