Strengths & Weaknesses

Gallagher

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Champagne Etiquette” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Special Brew” Immediately heals a target ally for 2020 HP—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Tipsy Tussle” The Besotted state makes targets receive 15.0% more Break DMG—ignore it and Gallagher plays like a worse generic Abundance unit.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Gallagher looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • As a 4★ Abundance unit, Gallagher 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 “Special Brew” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gallagher is often the SP sink.

Lingsha

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Dripping Mistscape” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Talent “Mistdance Manifest” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Smoke and Splendor” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Lingsha looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • “Mistdance Manifest” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Lingsha below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • Spamming “Smoke and Splendor” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Lingsha is often the SP sink.
