Rotation

There is no fixed rotation. Test quickswap and dual-DPS variations, then adapt the lineup to your own playstyle.

Worth knowing: Brant and Changli should be used in the second slot with Lupa Outro buffing them, while Lupa Outro Buffs Aemeath with Mornye and Galbrena. Changli is only stronger than Brant in Quickswap teams while Galbrena only works in Quickswap and is significantly more of an advanced Dual DPS playstyle for Aemeath.
