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.

Seele

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Butterfly Flurry” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
  • “Resurgence” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—cleaving a trash mob can snowball into another full Skill/Ult cycle.
  • Skill “Sheathed Blade” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “In the Night” 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.
  • Extra-turn and single-target Ultimate patterns shine on bosses but stall in Pure Fiction unless adds die fast enough to proc the talent loop.
  • Spamming “Sheathed Blade” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Seele is often the SP sink.
