At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Hysilens
- Ultimate “Maelstrom Rhapsody” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Overtone Hum: Chorus After Dark Tides” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—that is how Hysilens applies pressure between Ultimates.
- DEF shred from “Maelstrom Rhapsody” multiplies every ally’s damage for the duration—Hysilens is doing amp work, not only personal DPS.
- Several Hysilens 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 “Maelstrom Rhapsody”, Hysilens spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Overtone Hum: Chorus After Dark Tides” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Hysilens is often the SP sink.
The Dahlia
- Ultimate “Wallow... Entombed Ash” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Lick... Enkindled Betrayal” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Who's Afraid of Constance?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- “Who's Afraid of Constance?” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand The Dahlia below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Wallow... Entombed Ash”, The Dahlia spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Lick... Enkindled Betrayal” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—The Dahlia is often the SP sink.
