F2P Alternative
Strategy: Chixia provides Fusion resonance and Main DPS. Baizhi is the free healer with decent buffs. This team is fully obtainable without gacha (except Denia herself).
Rotation Guide (Fusion Burst Team)
- Start with Mornye: Cast Resonance Skill to apply buffs, build Concerto Energy.
- Swap to Aemeath: Apply sub-DPS damage, cast Skill and Liberation to generate Concerto.
- Swap to Denia (Intro): Applies Fusion DMG and gains initial stacks.
- Build stacks: Normal Attack combo + Resonance Skill.
- Cast Liberation at max stacks: Max damage output with enhanced state bonus.
- Swap out: Trigger Outro skill, switch to support to restart cycle.
Tip: Always aim to cast Liberation at exactly max stacks for the bonus. Do not waste stacks by over-capping.
