Strengths & Weaknesses

Iuno

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Rover (Aero)

Strengths
  • Liberation “Omega Storm” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto — that window is where Rover (Aero)’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Cycle of Wind” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto, 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 “Omega Storm” 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.
