Playstyle Guide & Rotation
Ciaccona’s playstyle is quite simple as a support and sub DPS character. Despite this simplicity, she provides massive amounts of benefits to the team both on and off field.
After using the 4th hit of her Basic Attack, Ciaccona will generate an Ensemble Sylph and start a Solo Concert, inflicting a stack of Aero Erosion on enemies and increasing the Aero Damage of all allies. After 4 Solo Concerts are performed, she will fill up her Forte Gauge and enhance her Heavy Attack. Using her enhanced Heavy Attack will inflict Aero Erosion stacks on enemies.
Using Ciaccona Resonance Skill will allow her to generate an Ensemble Sylph and inflict Aero Erosion stacks on enemies. Upon gaining enough energy, she can unleash her Resonance Liberation. While Ciaccona’s Resonance Liberation is active, while she is on the field, players can press the Yellow or Green button in time to inflict enemies with Spectro Frazzle or Aero Erosion.
When switching to another Resonator while her Resonance Liberation is active, Ciaccona will periodically inflict the debuffs off-field based on the color that was used last, if no color was used, it will be defaulted to the green note and inflict Aero Erosion on enemies. While Ciaccona’s off field Resonance Liberation is active, all allies will gain the Aero Damage boosting effect.
