At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Robin
- Ultimate “Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique” action-advances the whole team and opens a concerted damage window—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Pinion's Aria” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Tonal Resonance” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—good play literally shortens Ult cooldown.
- Buff windows on “Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Robin’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- Spamming “Pinion's Aria” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Robin is often the SP sink.
Yukong
- Ultimate “Diving Kestrel” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Emboldening Salvo” Obtains 2 stack(s) of "Roaring Bowstrings" (to a maximum of 2 stacks)—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Seven Layers, One Arrow” Basic ATK additionally deals Imaginary DMG equal to 100% of Yukong's ATK—ignore it and Yukong plays like a worse generic Harmony unit.
- Buff windows on “Diving Kestrel” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Yukong’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- As a 4★ Harmony unit, Yukong is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
