At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
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.
Encore
- Liberation “Cosmos Rave” enters Cosmos Rave and replaces basics with enhanced havoc swings — that window is where Encore’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Black & White Woolies” enters Cosmos Rave and replaces basics with enhanced havoc swings, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Cosmos Rave” 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.
