At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Clara
- 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.
- 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.
Yunli
- Ultimate “Earthbind, Etherbreak” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Bladeborne Quake” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Flashforge” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- E0 without “Dance at Sunset” 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 “Earthbind, Etherbreak”, Yunli spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Bladeborne Quake” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Yunli is often the SP sink.
