Strengths & Weaknesses

The Dahlia

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Wallow... Entombed Ash” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • “Lick... Enkindled Betrayal” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
  • Talent “Who's Afraid of Constance?” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
Weaknesses
  • “Who's Afraid of Constance?” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand The Dahlia below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Wallow... Entombed Ash”, The Dahlia spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Lick... Enkindled Betrayal” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—The Dahlia is often the SP sink.

Welt

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.
