Strengths & Weaknesses

Feixiao

Strengths
  • “Terrasplit” dumps a huge single-target Wind multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Talent “Thunderhunt” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Waraxe” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Terrasplit” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Feixiao focuses the elite.
  • “Thunderhunt” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Feixiao below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “I Venture Forth to Hunt” 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.

Topaz & Numby

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Turn a Profit!” action-advances an ally with a damage amp attached—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Talent “Trotter Market!?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Topaz & Numby is not the active turn.
  • Skill “Difficulty Paying?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • Follow-Ups from “Trotter Market!?” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Topaz & Numby’s off-turn damage.
  • E0 without “Worrisome, Blissful” 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.
  • Spamming “Difficulty Paying?” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Topaz & Numby is often the SP sink.
