Strengths & Weaknesses
Luuk Herssen
Strengths
- 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.
Weaknesses
- 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.
Zani
Strengths
- Liberation “Between Dawn and Dusk” enters Inferno Mode, increasing Max Blaze from 100 to 150 and granting 50 Blazes — that window is where Zani’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “There Will Be A Light” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Beacon For the Future” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Between Dawn and Dusk” 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.
