Strengths & Weaknesses

Cantarella

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Rover (Havoc)

Strengths
  • Liberation “Deadening Abyss” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Rover (Havoc)’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Umbra Eclipse” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
Weaknesses
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Deadening Abyss” 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.
