At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Brant
- Liberation “To the Horizon” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Brant’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Ocean Odyssey” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “The Course is Set!” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “To the Horizon” 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.
Changli
- Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window — that window is where Changli’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Flaming Sacrifice” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Strategy of Duality” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” 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.
