Strengths & Weaknesses

Pela

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Zone Suppression” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Frostbite” strips enemy buffs while dealing Ice damage—cleanse utility that most pure DPS kits simply do not have.
  • Talent “Data Collecting” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
Weaknesses
  • Several Pela effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
  • As a 4★ Nihility unit, Pela 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 “Frostbite” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Pela is often the SP sink.

Silver Wolf

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.
