Final Build Optimization

Rotation

Battle Skill (Specified Research Subject) applies Focus → Combo Skill (EMP Test Site) after ally applies infliction → Ultimate (Overclocked Moment) before major burst windows → Repeat

Timing

Apply Focus to highest priority/tankiest enemy (60s duration). Use Combo Skill immediately after allies apply infliction to duplicate stacks. Time Ultimate with team burst windows. Keep Focus active at all times.

Team Compositions
F2P

Endministrator (DPS) + Chen Qianyu (sub-DPS) + Antal (amp) + Estella (heal/debuff)

Min-Max Tips
1.

Keep Focus active on tankiest enemy at all times - lasts 60s but only works on one target

2.

Use Combo Skill immediately after allies apply infliction/status to duplicate the stack

3.

Time Ultimate with DPS burst windows - 12s Amp duration is relatively short

4.

Potential 3 refunds 15 SP when Focused enemy dies - helps with reapplication costs

5.

Potential 5 boosts Susceptibility by 4% after 20s on same target - significant for long fights

6.

Healing triggers when Amped allies deal Skill DMG - cycle skills every 30s for sustain

7.

Antal is P0 viable - core mechanics work without any promotions

8.

Team order matters - position Antal right after infliction appliers for correct Combo Skill targeting
