At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Aalto
- Liberation “Flower in the Mist” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
- Forte “Misty Cover” when aalto passes through "mist" or "gate of quandary", he enters the mistcloak dash, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Dissolving Mist” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Dissolving Mist”.
- ER / Concerto investment competes with DPS Echo farming until Liberation is reliable.
- 4★ ceiling is real — expect to rotate them out when a premium option takes the same niche.
Yangyang
- Liberation “Wind Spirals” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
- Forte “Echoing Feathers” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Whispering Breeze” keeps the incoming Resonator topped while the rest of the squad stays in the heal aura.
- Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Whispering Breeze”.
- ER / Concerto investment competes with DPS Echo farming until Liberation is reliable.
- 4★ ceiling is real — expect to rotate them out when a premium option takes the same niche.
