At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Lucy
- Liberation “Netrunner” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Lucy’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Depths of Blackwall” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Countermeasure Program” 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 “Netrunner” 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.
Luuk Herssen
- Liberation “Rewritten in Winter's Margins” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Luuk Herssen’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Spark from the Frost” times Forte Detonate against Ice/Glacio setups for amplified basics, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Rewritten in Winter's Margins” 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.
