At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Cartethyia
- Liberation “A Knight's Heartfelt Prayers” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Cartethyia’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Tempest” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Wind's Divine Blessing” 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 “A Knight's Heartfelt Prayers” 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 (Aero)
- Liberation “Omega Storm” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto — that window is where Rover (Aero)’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Cycle of Wind” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Omega Storm” 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.
