Combat System Cheat Sheet

Accuracy vs resistance

Debuffs and disables only matter if they land. Control teams need accuracy; boss teams need resistance, cleanse, or Block Debuffs.

Divinity timing

Ultimates are tempo tools. Hold them for boss phase changes, shield breaks, or a turn where your leader bonus and debuffs are active.

Leader value

Leader bonuses persist as the team's battle plan. Examples: Accuracy, Attack, Crit Damage, Crit Rate.

Set bonuses

Armor pages list the documented 2-piece, 4-piece, and 6-piece bonuses. Match the set text to the champion's job before chasing rarity.

Weapons

Faction weapons and status text are not flavor. Use them to amplify the same tags your champion already applies.

Imprints

Every champion can borrow power from the imprint pool. Current data includes 168 documented imprint bonuses across 204 champions.

Fight Prep Checklist

If the boss stacks debuffs

Bring a direct cleanse, Block Debuffs, Stalwart, Backfire, or a resistance leader. Do this before adding more damage.

If the boss shields or barriers

Bring strip, bypass, Acid, multi-hit pressure, or a champion that scales from hitting protected targets.

If the boss takes too many turns

Bring turn-meter decrease, speed/INIT protection, extra-turn denial, or a tempo leader.

If your team dies before setup

Swap one damage slot into Shield, Barrier, Mend, Protect, Intercept, Ward, or a defensive leader bonus.
