Strengths
- Liberation “Omega Storm” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto — that window is where Rover (Aero)’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Cycle of Wind” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto, 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 “Omega Storm” 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.

Stat Priority

Team Compositions
Premium Rover (Aero) shell: Cartethyia is the Dual-DPS / quickswap partner; Ciaccona brings Aero Erosion amp. Rotation: open Cartethyia / Ciaccona for Concerto → Intro Rover (Aero) → Liberation / Forte dump.
Rover (Aero) is the on-fielder — bank Concerto on Cartethyia / Ciaccona, Intro in, then dump Liberation / Forte inside their amp windows.
Cartethyia shares field time with Rover (Aero) — trade Intro / Outro so both Liberation windows get amp coverage.
Ciaccona is the best Aero Erosion applier and amplifier in the game.
