Strengths & Weaknesses

Encore

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Galbrena

Strengths
  • Liberation “Hellfire Absolution” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Galbrena’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Beyond Threshold” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
Weaknesses
