Fire Team - 38s Ballista and Axe

Strategy Steps

By utilizing Gilberta's SP-free buffs (and her signature weapon buff), she perfectly solves the Fire Team's severe SP shortage during the ultimate. Meanwhile, her ultimate effectively delays the chain skill CD, allowing Laevatain to smoothly execute the 'heavy attack - swap - chain skill' cycle. This enables reaching the execute threshold stably without relying on critical hits, significantly improving score consistency and error tolerance.

1. Phase 1: Utilizing 'Delayed Activation'

   Chain Trigger: Use the 'delayed activation' mechanic of chain skills to increase the coverage of Gilberta's signature weapon buff.

   Core DPS: With the buff active, Laevatain executes 3 normal attacks directly to eliminate the Axe enemy without needing critical hits.

2. Phase 2: Ultimate for Rhythm Control

   Status Inheritance: Persist the defense break effect applied by Gilberta in Phase 1.

   Ult Stalling: Cast Gilberta's Ultimate, buying time for Laevatain's chain skill cooldown to refresh.

3. Core Loop: Swap & Combo

   Animation Transition: After Laevatain uses a heavy attack, perform a swap immediately before triggering the chain skill, maximizing CD efficiency.

   Chain: Wait until the chain skill cooldown is complete,

4. Final Phase: Precise Alignment

   Limit Output: At the final moment before Laevatain's Ultimate ends, tightly time the chain skill to execute maximum finisher damage.
