At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Castorice
- Ultimate “Doomshriek, Dawn's Chime” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Silence, Wraithfly's Caress” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Desolation Across Palms” The maximum limit of "Newbud" is related to the levels of all characters on the battlefield—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Make Farewells More Beautiful” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Remembrance carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- HP-spend skills mean Castorice 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.
- Spamming “Silence, Wraithfly's Caress” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Castorice is often the SP sink.
Hyacine
- Ultimate “We Who Fly Into Twilight” restores HP across the threatened allies—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Love Over the Rainbow” restores HP across the threatened allies—Outgoing Healing and HP relics convert directly into safer DPS turns.
- Talent “First Light Heals the World” fields a memosprite that acts as a second damage dealer—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Remembrance carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “We Who Fly Into Twilight”, Hyacine spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Love Over the Rainbow” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Hyacine is often the SP sink.
