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.
Welt
- 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.
- 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.
