Common Questions

Spoiler!

Q: Is Maintain PP Gain worth getting?
A: Personally I don't think it is based on how fast you're casting because after a charged tech, you sort of need to pause for a second or two then you see the PP recov from it then you continue casting versus where if you charge cast, charge cast you will never see the skill activate. It's also not too difficult to manage your PP so you can choose to get it or not.

Q: How does Floating Pillbox Multirock work?
A: When you use your WA for card shots PP recovery, instead of one shot you will get 3 but the shot seems to only divide into 3 if there are multiple targets. I personally dropped it after awhile.

Q: How does Talis Bloom Revoke work?
A: When you use a PA (the Single, 3-way or AoE shots) and want to get rid of the PA effect to cast techs, hold the WA and it will remove the current PA applied.

Q: How does Elemental Bullet work?
A: When you Guard counter and use a corresponding element, it will add an extra stack to a Barta/Zonde Blot/Clad build up.

Skill Tree Recommendations

Spoiler!

You don't need PP conversion maxed out, 1 SP is enough, Resta Field Force can be ignored unless you really want to play a mini support, I personally don't use Photon Flare Short Charge, everything feels like it charges fast enough that I'd rather not lose damage (optional), Maintain PP Gain feels like it takes a bit too long to proc when you're spamming techs that (which you'll see that it almost never proc's when you do spam techs) that you end up doing normals for recovery instead. Talis skills are optional so if you don't like it, remove the points and put them somewhere else. Any extra SP you have I recommend just throwing into PP Recovery Boost.

Recommended Gear

Spoiler!

> >
Straga is top, Forsis right under it with a damage reduction barrier on top which is very helpful, Resurge isn't recommended because you want to output WA counters over Step counters for Barta/Zonde Blot/Clad build ups.

> >
Straga is top, Vialto for that extra PP recoveries which outputs more castings, if you can maintain Step counters then use Resurge.

Units

Any combination above is fine (Geant, Zezza, Belda) or 2x Geant + Zezza/Belda or w/e you want. If not these then choose from the other readily available units like Cuald/Cattoria Arma.

Weapon Gameplay

Weapon Meta

Spoiler!

>
Rod currently is top, has less struggle and DPP for building Barta/Zonde Blot/Clad via WA Guard counters. Talis is good in its own with it's PA spam and occasional Tech. While Talis can do good on it's own, it falls a bit short of Rod in output. Choose whatever you like though, having the Talis WA also helps with PP sustainment if you feel the for this.
