Strengths & Weaknesses

Brant

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Lupa

Strengths
  • Liberation “Fire-Kissed Glory” spends Wolfaith inside a Wildfire Banner ATK window — that window is where Lupa’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Ignis Lupa” spends Wolfaith inside a Wildfire Banner ATK window, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Stand by Me, Warrior” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Fire-Kissed Glory” 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.
