At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Seele
- Ultimate “Butterfly Flurry” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
- “Resurgence” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—cleaving a trash mob can snowball into another full Skill/Ult cycle.
- Skill “Sheathed Blade” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- E0 without “In the Night” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Extra-turn and single-target Ultimate patterns shine on bosses but stall in Pure Fiction unless adds die fast enough to proc the talent loop.
- Spamming “Sheathed Blade” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Seele is often the SP sink.
Topaz & Numby
- Ultimate “Turn a Profit!” action-advances an ally with a damage amp attached—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Talent “Trotter Market!?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Topaz & Numby is not the active turn.
- Skill “Difficulty Paying?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Trotter Market!?” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Topaz & Numby’s off-turn damage.
- E0 without “Worrisome, Blissful” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Spamming “Difficulty Paying?” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Topaz & Numby is often the SP sink.
