Strengths & Weaknesses

Dr. Ratio

Strengths
  • “Syllogistic Paradox” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Talent “Cogito, Ergo Sum” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Intellectual Midwifery” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Syllogistic Paradox” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Dr. Ratio focuses the elite.
  • “Cogito, Ergo Sum” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Dr. Ratio below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “Baptism of Pure Thought” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.

March 7th

Strengths
  • “March 7th, the Apex Heroine” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Skill “Master, It's Tea Time!” Designates one ally (excluding this unit) as "Shifu" and increases "Shifu"'s SPD by 12.0%—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Master, I've Ascended!” After Shifu uses an attack or Ultimate, March 7th gains up to 1 point of Charge each time—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
Weaknesses
  • “March 7th, the Apex Heroine” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while March 7th focuses the elite.
  • As a 4★ The Hunt unit, March 7th is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
  • Spamming “Master, It's Tea Time!” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—March 7th is often the SP sink.
