At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Ashveil
- “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.
- “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.
Yanqing
- “Amidst the Raining Bliss” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Talent “One With the Sword” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Skill “Darting Ironthorn” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Amidst the Raining Bliss” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Yanqing focuses the elite.
- “One With the Sword” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Yanqing below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- E0 without “Sleep Like the Dead” 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.
