Strengths & Weaknesses

Hiyuki

Strengths
  • Liberation “Foreclaiming” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — that window is where Hiyuki’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Everfrost Dominion” glacio Bite - While Hiyuki is in the team, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Snowlight Blessing” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Foreclaiming” 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.

Lingyang

Strengths
  • Liberation “Strive: Lion's Vigor” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Lingyang’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Unification of Spirits” 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
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Strive: Lion's Vigor” 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.
