Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The review checks Burn application before enhanced Skill damage, separates single-target from wave performance and treats Fire weakness as a condition for Aeon's bonus rather than guaranteed uptime.
