Core Loop

  1. Opening (tempo): Galandra opens control; Brome trims edges
  2. Mid game (resource trading): Freeze zones let chains fully connect
  3. End game/Boss (window management): Boss: rotate control → burst → reset

Tip: create a safe window via control or mobility before bursting. If mana/stamina is tight, prioritize loop-sustain slots first.

Core Components (Trinkets / Rituals / Inspirations)

We use functional slots so you can swap equivalents across patches.

Key Trinkets

  • Slot A: (Team) control radius/duration
  • Slot B: (Team) on-hit sustain
  • Alternates: (Team) shields

Key Rituals

  • Core Ritual: (Team) frost–lightning co-procs
  • Support Ritual: (Team) mana/DR

Key Inspirations

  • Offense: (Team) poise break/vulnerability
  • Defense: (Team) armor/poise
  • Mobility: (Team) move/roll buffs

Priority: loop sustain ≥ defensive forgiveness ≥ pure damage. Shift to burst once clears are stable.

Execution Details

  • Starting distance & angles: Roles: Galandra front, Brome back
  • Defensive reactions: On markers: one kites, one controls
  • Strings & finishers: Frost → chains → stagger → burst

Enemy Types & Boss Strategy

  • Dashers: sidestep and tag with slow/CC; avoid straight retreats.
  • Shielded/High Poise: break poise/vulnerability before bursting.
  • Ranged clumps: use corners to split; delete throwers first.
  • Multi-phase bosses: control → 2–3 bursts → reset.
  • High-mobility bosses: shorten commits; lengthen control chains.

Progression (Unlocks / Resources)

  • Unlock first: Team slots first: control/sustain/shields
  • Resource allocation: Balance team economy
  • Event priority: Pick co-op boons
  • Map tips: set control at chokes, clear outward; kill ranged/summoners first; enter bosses with a complete loop.

Co-op Synergies & Counters

  • Best partners: Natural CC × multi-hit synergy
  • Countered by: High-mobility bosses
  • Counterplay: Shorten forced-DPS; lengthen control chains

Advanced Variants

  • Variant A: Control-leaning
  • Variant B: Burst-leaning
  • When to swap: Shift to burst after comfort

Common Mistakes & Debug

  • Over-commit opener → remember “two hits then half-step back”.
  • Ignore stagger windows → control first, then strings.
  • Too little armor/poise → add 1–2 defensive slots.
  • Starve sustain for DPS → target a 2:1 DPS:sustain cadence.
  • Disrespect boss phases → disengage on long telegraphs.
