At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Cerydra
- Ultimate “Scholar's Mate” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Pawn's Promotion” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Ave Imperator” The character with "Military Merit" increases ATK by an amount equal to 27.0% of Cerydra's ATK—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- Buff windows on “Scholar's Mate” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Cerydra’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- Spamming “Pawn's Promotion” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Cerydra is often the SP sink.
Trailblazer (Harmony)
- Ultimate “All-Out Footlight Parade” Grants all allies the Backup Dancer effect, lasting for 3 turn(s)—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Halftime to Make It Rain” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Full-on Aerial Dance” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- Buff windows on “All-Out Footlight Parade” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Trailblazer (Harmony)’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- Trailblazer (Harmony)’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.
