- Start with support/healer: Cast Resonance Skill to apply buffs, build Concerto Energy.
- Swap to sub-DPS: Apply elemental reactions and generate Concerto.
- Swap to Chixia (Intro): Apply Fusion Frazzle and gain initial buffs.
- Build resources: Use Normal Attacks and Skills to build energy/buffs.
- Cast Liberation: Unleash burst damage at optimal timing.
