Strengths & Weaknesses
Augusta
- Liberation “Sunward Conquest” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator — that window is where Augusta’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Call Me By the Sun” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Battlesong of the Unyielding” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Sunward Conquest” 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.
Calcharo
- Liberation “Phantom Etching” enters Deathblade Gear for an enhanced Electro Liberation state — that window is where Calcharo’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Hunting Mission” enters Deathblade Gear for an enhanced Electro Liberation state, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Phantom Etching” 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.
