At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Cantarella
- Liberation “Beneath the Sea” keeps coordinated attacks firing while other Resonators are on-field — that window is where Cantarella’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Between Illusion and Reality” keeps coordinated attacks firing while other Resonators are on-field, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Gentle Tentacles” 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 “Beneath the Sea” 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.
Phrolova
- Liberation “Waltz of Forsaken Depths” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — that window is where Phrolova’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Rhapsody of a New World” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Unfinished Piece” hands the next Resonator a Heavy/Basic Attack Amplification window — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Waltz of Forsaken Depths” 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.
