At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Dr. Ratio
- “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.
- “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.
Sushang
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Dancing Blade” When an enemy has their Weakness Broken on the field, Sushang's SPD increases by 22.5% for 2 turn(s)—ignore it and Sushang plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Sushang focuses the elite.
- As a 4★ The Hunt unit, Sushang 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 “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Sushang is often the SP sink.
