Resource Investment Guidelines

  • Never bench Hilde: Hilde's complete debuff immunity bypasses countless boss freeze, burn, and stun mechanics in Cosmo Gate.
  • Be mindful of Asherah Waltz breakthrough: While god-tier, Asherah Waltz requires Breakthrough 1 to unlock her normal attack healing and joint strike combo.
  • Emilly is the ultimate budget hyper-carry: She requires zero duplicates to out-damage almost every other single-target unit in the game.
