At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Jiaoqiu
- Ultimate “Pyrograph Arcanum” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- “Scorch Onslaught” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Quartet Finesse, Octave Finery” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- Several Jiaoqiu 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 “Pyrograph Arcanum”, Jiaoqiu spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Scorch Onslaught” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Jiaoqiu is often the SP sink.
Silver Wolf
- Ultimate “User Banned” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Allow Changes?” implants element Weakness so Break stays online off-element—that is how Silver Wolf applies pressure between Ultimates.
- Silver Wolf can implant or force Quantum-relevant Weakness from the kit itself—Break and Toughness routes stay online even when the MoC line-up did not list Quantum.
- Several Silver Wolf 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 “User Banned”, Silver Wolf spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Allow Changes?” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Silver Wolf is often the SP sink.
