At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Herta
- “It's Magic, I Added Some Magic” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Herta stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Talent “Fine, I'll Do It Myself” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Herta is not the active turn.
- Skill “One-Time Offer” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Fine, I'll Do It Myself” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Herta’s off-turn damage.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Herta 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 “One-Time Offer” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Herta is often the SP sink.
Qingque
- “A Quartet? Woo-hoo!” hits every enemy on the field in one cast, so Qingque stays relevant when MoC and Pure Fiction spawn multiple targets.
- Skill “A Scoop of Moon” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Celestial Jade” pre-loads jade tiles toward the enhanced Basic—ignore it and Qingque plays like a worse generic Erudition unit.
- “A Scoop of Moon” wants stacks online before the big hit—interrupts, crowd control, or dying mid-ramp dump the stack count and reset the damage plan.
- Jade-tile RNG can brick a turn: without a matching suit, Qingque sits on a weaker Basic instead of the enhanced attack the traces assume.
- As a 4★ Erudition unit, Qingque is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
