Strengths & Weaknesses

Lynae

Strengths
  • Liberation “Prismatic Overblast” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — that window is where Lynae’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Chromaticity Modeling” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Let's Hit the Road!” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Prismatic Overblast” 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.
