Carlotta
Carlotta
Yes for Glacio Resonance Skill hypercarry—Carlotta still deletes ToA elites. Liberation “Era of New Wave” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains. Best with Zhezhi / Shorekeeper / Verina. Deconstruction / Skill dump wants coordinated setup and clean Intro timing. Skip when another Glacio carry already covers both endgame sides.
Carlotta is a 5★ Glacio Main DPS who fights with a Pistols. Liberation “Era of New Wave” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains. Forte “Lethal Repertoire” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains.

Strengths
- Liberation “Era of New Wave” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Carlotta’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Lethal Repertoire” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Dodge Counter recoveries let you rejoin the combo after a mistimed i-frame.
Weaknesses
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Era of New Wave” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
- Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.

Team Compositions
Premium Carlotta shell: Lynae brings All-DMG + Liberation amp; Mornye brings All-DMG amp. Rotation: open Lynae / Mornye for Concerto → Intro Carlotta → Liberation / Forte dump. Mornye is only best with Lynae on the team.
Carlotta is the on-fielder — bank Concerto on Lynae / Mornye, Intro in, then dump Liberation / Forte inside their amp windows.
Lynae Outros All-DMG + Liberation amp — Intro Carlotta and Liberation-dump while the amp is live.
Mornye has a special synergy with Lynae since Lynae can apply Tune Rupture/Strain for Mornye to respond to them and provide her full array of buffs, making her the best choice if Lynae is in use.
