At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Aventurine
- Ultimate “Roulette Shark” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Talent “Shot Loaded Right” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Aventurine is not the active turn.
- Skill “Cornerstone Deluxe” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Shot Loaded Right” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Aventurine’s off-turn damage.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Aventurine’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Spamming “Cornerstone Deluxe” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Aventurine is often the SP sink.
Trailblazer (Preservation)
- Ultimate “War-Flaming Lance” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Ever-Burning Amber” scales DMG Reduction with low HP and locks max reduction in the burst state—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Treasure of the Architects” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Trailblazer (Preservation)’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Trailblazer (Preservation)’s best Light Cone usually shares the character banner—E0S0 on a strong path cone still clears, but expect a noticeable gap until the signature (or a close path alternative) is online.
- Spamming “Ever-Burning Amber” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Trailblazer (Preservation) is often the SP sink.
