Strengths & Weaknesses

Rebecca

Strengths
  • Liberation “Party 'til Dawn!” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator — that window is where Rebecca’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Gloves Are Comin' Off!” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Preem Choom” 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 “Party 'til Dawn!” 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.

Xiangli Yao

Strengths
  • Liberation “Cogitation Model” dumps a large Liberation multiplier into the current wave — that window is where Xiangli Yao’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Forever Seeking” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, 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 “Cogitation Model” 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.
