Envy Resonance Team (The Middle)
GUIDETeam Building and Rotation
At a Glance
Maintain 6 Envy Absolute Resonance each turn with Middle Identities and repeatedly use S3 counters through defense. Overwhelming damage, but frequent hits make the team demanding. The Middle Nursefather Outis and The Middle Big Brother Heathcliff are the core.
Strengths
- Maintaining 6 Envy Absolute Resonance grants buffs and turns defense counters into S3. Attack enemies regardless of clash outcomes.
- Each Middle Identity can convert counters into S3 up to twice per turn. Even with 4 deployed members and 7 slots, all slots can be counters without wasting them.
Building the team
- Include many Envy-defense Identities to guarantee Absolute Resonance. Deploying fewer members is better for consistent maximum strength than forcing in unsuitable units.
- Only 6 Middle Identities are available, making the seventh choice important. Lamp Gregor in position 7 is guaranteed to act last and preserves Envy Resonance. Also generates Gloom and Pride.
- W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Faust is also guaranteed to act slowest, and Envy defense helps preserve Resonance. Bringing Faust enables Fluid Sac or Thoracalgia healing.
- Red Eyes & Penitence Ryōshū is a standard bench pick for small HP and SP recovery through Envy Resonance.
Rotation
- Use normal skills to win clashes against attacks you cannot afford to take, and counters against weak attacks. Consult the damage preview when taking unopposed attacks.
- A Staggered ally leaves gaps between slots, making Absolute Resonance extremely difficult.
- Resources other than Envy accumulate slowly. Outis's I'll Go fer Scissors. How 'Bout You? converts surplus Envy into missing resources on clash win. Some passives stop below 4 Envy resources, so watch your reserves.
- When all 6 Middle members form Absolute Resonance, Gregor's Garden of Thorns grants everyone 2 Envy Damage Up and 2 Power Up and restores 22% HP.
Weaknesses and answers
- Main damage is Blunt and Envy, so enemies resistant to either are troublesome.
- Counters are fundamentally unsuitable against enemies whose hits can directly cause defeat.
- The team constantly takes attacks, so prepare HP recovery.
