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.
Yanqing
- “Amidst the Raining Bliss” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Talent “One With the Sword” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- Skill “Darting Ironthorn” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
