Strengths & Weaknesses

Jiyan

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Sigrika

Strengths
  • Liberation “Where Trust Leads Me!” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Sigrika’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Within Infinity's Embrace” converts Forte resources into an enhanced damage cast, 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 “Where Trust Leads Me!” 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 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 Sigrika

Finally, Lynae is the alternative if you lack the other options thanks to her very generalized buffing capabilities.

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 Sigrika

Ciaccona Amplifies nearby Aero Erosion damage — keep Sigrika inside the Erosion window after her setup.
