Strengths & Weaknesses

Misha

Strengths
  • “G—Gonna Be Late!” dumps a huge single-target Ice multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • “R—Room Service!” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
  • Talent “Horological Escapement” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
Weaknesses
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “G—Gonna Be Late!”, Misha spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • As a 4★ Destruction unit, Misha 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 “R—Room Service!” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Misha is often the SP sink.

Trailblazer (Destruction)

Strengths
  • “Stardust Ace” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • “RIP Home Run” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
  • Talent “Perfect Pickoff” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
Weaknesses
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Stardust Ace”, Trailblazer (Destruction) spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Trailblazer (Destruction)’s best Light Cone usually shares the character banner—E0S0 on a strong path cone still clears, but expect a noticeable gap until the signature (or a close path alternative) is online.
  • Spamming “RIP Home Run” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Trailblazer (Destruction) is often the SP sink.
