Strengths & Weaknesses

Lucy

Strengths
  • 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.
Weaknesses
  • 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.

Phoebe

Strengths
  • Liberation “Dawn of Enlightenment” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Phoebe’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Radiant Invocation” spends full Prayer on Absolution / Confession Forte casts, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Attentive Heart” hits every nearby target in one cast — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Dawn of Enlightenment” 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.
