Strengths & Weaknesses

Fugue

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Welt

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Synthetic Black Hole” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Edge of the Void” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—that is how Welt applies pressure between Ultimates.
  • Talent “Time Distortion” When hitting an enemy that is already Slowed—ignore it and Welt plays like a worse generic Nihility unit.
Weaknesses
  • Several Welt effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Synthetic Black Hole”, Welt spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Edge of the Void” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Welt is often the SP sink.
