At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Iuno
- Liberation “Beneath Lunar Tides” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Iuno’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Ebb and Flow” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “From Gloom to Gleam” hands the next Resonator a Heavy/Basic Attack Amplification window — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Beneath Lunar Tides” 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.
Jiyan
- Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks — that window is where Jiyan’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Qingloong at War” enters Qingloong Mode and replaces basics with Lance of Qingloong Heavy Attacks, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Skill “Windqueller” seeds coordinated pressure so Jiyan still contributes after leaving the field.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Emerald Storm - Prelude” 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.
Shared Team Members
With Iuno
Shorekeeper’s Stellarealm is the premium generalist seat — party CRIT Rate/DMG, heal, and DMG amp so Iuno can greed the full Liberation window.

With Iuno
while Ciaccona has no Outro buff dedicated to Iuno, she does provide solid personal damage, a super fast rotation and a lot of Aero DMG increases in the form of DMG Bonus and RES Shred with her Signature.
With Jiyan
Ciaccona can either work as a strong secondary in Quickswap Jiyan compositions as none of her buffs expire upon swapping, which means Jiyan can switch in the middle of his Heavy Attacks for Ciaccona to do
With Iuno
Lynae is generally the best one by far as her generalist buffs are unparalleled and she provides a total of 40% DMG Amplification to Iuno via her Outro
With Jiyan
Lynae is also a possible option alongside Mornye as the duo's generalist buffing potential is enough to outdo any F2P team choices, but will see rarer use as that duo is often better used elsewhere.
With Iuno
Mornye has a special synergy with Lynae since Lynae can apply Tune Rupture/Strain for Mornye to respond to them and provide her full array of buffs, making her the best choice generally if Lynae is in use.
With Jiyan
Mornye grants team-wide All-DMG Amplification — a generalist amp seat that stacks cleanly into Jiyan’s Liberation.
