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.

Yanqing

Strengths
  • “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.
Weaknesses
  • “Amidst the Raining Bliss” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Yanqing focuses the elite.
  • “One With the Sword” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Yanqing below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “Sleep Like the Dead” 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.
