At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
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.
Rover (Aero)
- 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.
- 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.
