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.
Qiuyuan
- Liberation “Sundering Strike” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Qiuyuan’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Verdant Edge” converts Forte resources into an enhanced damage cast, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Strike Before Ready” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Sundering Strike” 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.
