Strengths
- Liberation “Deadening Abyss” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Rover (Havoc)’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Umbra Eclipse” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool, 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 “Deadening Abyss” 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.
