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.
Lupa
- 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.
- 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.

With Changli
Aemeath is only worth using if played well in Quickswap, since Changli's short Outro buff requires Aemeath to cast Basic Attack chains as Changli is rotating to fully benefit from it on her biggest damaging
With Lupa
Aemeath shares field time with Lupa — trade Intro / Outro so both Liberation windows get amp coverage.
With Changli
Brant is very good at buffing Changli via his Outro skill, he brings healing and shielding to the table and is overall very easy to pilot while dealing very good damage on his own.
With Lupa
Brant Outros Fusion + Skill amp — time the handoff before Lupa’s Skill / Forte dump.
With Changli
Chixia builds Concerto and Outros into Changli before the burst window.
With Lupa
Lupa is one of Chixia's best buffers. While Chixia cannot make use of Lupa's Basic DMG Amplify on her Outro, she is able to use the Fusion DMG Amplify effect if needed.
With Changli
Encore shares field time with Changli — trade Intro / Outro so both Liberation windows get amp coverage.
With Lupa
Encore shares field time with Lupa — trade Intro / Outro so both Liberation windows get amp coverage.
