At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Mortenax Blade
- Ultimate “Fornax Ex Corpore” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “A Rain of Blades Seals Fate” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—the rotation wants controlled self-damage, not panic healing that cancels the state.
- Talent “All Karma Comes Due” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Mortenax Blade is not the active turn.
- Follow-Ups from “All Karma Comes Due” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Mortenax Blade’s off-turn damage.
- HP-spend skills mean Mortenax Blade can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
- Spamming “A Rain of Blades Seals Fate” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Mortenax Blade 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.
