Strengths & Weaknesses

Chisa

Strengths
  • Liberation “Moment of Nihility” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto — that window is where Chisa’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Sight of Unraveling - Oblivion” enters the Burnout State and exits Chainsaw Mode, 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 “Moment of Nihility” 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

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.
