Strengths & Weaknesses

Phrolova

Strengths
  • Liberation “Waltz of Forsaken Depths” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — that window is where Phrolova’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Rhapsody of a New World” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Unfinished Piece” 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 “Waltz of Forsaken Depths” 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.

Rover (Havoc)

Strengths
  • Liberation “Deadening Abyss” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Rover (Havoc)’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Umbra Eclipse” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool, 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 “Deadening Abyss” 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.
