Strengths & Weaknesses

Silver Wolf LV.999

Strengths
  • Ultimate “God Mode: ON!” action-advances an ally with a damage amp attached—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
  • Skill “Trigger Happy” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Silver Wolf LV.999’s memosprite/summon adds a second actor that hits and breaks without always spending the team’s Skill Points.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “Dazzled by a Flowery World” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Elation carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “God Mode: ON!”, Silver Wolf LV.999 spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Trigger Happy” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Silver Wolf LV.999 is often the SP sink.

Yao Guang

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Hexagram of Feathered Fortune” Gains 5 Punchline—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
  • Skill “Decalight Unveils All” Deploys a Zone for 3 turn(s)—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Behold Wherever Light Unfolds” While Yao Guang holds "Certified Banger": After an ally target uses an attack—ignore it and Yao Guang plays like a worse generic Elation unit.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “When She Decided to See” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Elation carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Hexagram of Feathered Fortune”, Yao Guang spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Decalight Unveils All” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Yao Guang is often the SP sink.
