At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Fugue
- Ultimate “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Virtue Beckons Bliss” applies DEF shred / Exposed for the team—that is how Fugue applies pressure between Ultimates.
- Fugue can implant or force Fire-relevant Weakness from the kit itself—Break and Toughness routes stay online even when the MoC line-up did not list Fire.
- Several Fugue effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
- Buff windows on “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Fugue’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
Pela
- Ultimate “Zone Suppression” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Frostbite” strips enemy buffs while dealing Ice damage—cleanse utility that most pure DPS kits simply do not have.
- Talent “Data Collecting” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- Several Pela effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
- As a 4★ Nihility unit, Pela 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 “Frostbite” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Pela is often the SP sink.
