Strengths & Weaknesses

Ashveil

Strengths
  • “Banquet: Insatiable Appetite” dumps a huge single-target Lightning multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Talent “Rancor: Enmity Reprisal” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Ashveil is not the active turn.
  • Skill “Flog: Smite Evil” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Banquet: Insatiable Appetite” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Ashveil focuses the elite.
  • Follow-Ups from “Rancor: Enmity Reprisal” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Ashveil’s off-turn damage.
  • E0 without “The Finale of a Lie” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.

Dr. Ratio

Strengths
  • “Syllogistic Paradox” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Talent “Cogito, Ergo Sum” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Intellectual Midwifery” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Syllogistic Paradox” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Dr. Ratio focuses the elite.
  • “Cogito, Ergo Sum” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Dr. Ratio below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “Baptism of Pure Thought” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
