Strengths & Weaknesses

Clara

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Promise, Not Command” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Svarog Watches Over You” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Because We're Family” Under the protection of Svarog, DMG taken by Clara when hit by enemy attacks is reduced by 10%—ignore it and Clara plays like a worse generic Destruction unit.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “Something Irreplaceable” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Promise, Not Command”, Clara spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Svarog Watches Over You” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Clara is often the SP sink.

Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae

Strengths
  • “Azure's Aqua Ablutes All” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Skill “Dracore Libre” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Righteous Heart” After each hit dealt during an attack—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “Brighter Than the Sun” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Azure's Aqua Ablutes All”, Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Dracore Libre” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Dan Heng · Imbibitor Lunae is often the SP sink.
