Playstyle Guide & Rotation

Lucy’s skill kit revolves around her special TCP points and her Algorithm Compaction state. In essence, she serves as a heavy attack damage dealer with the ability to inflict the special unique effect known as Tune Hack and is capable of utilizing different tools and effects to not only hinder enemies but also boost her and her team’s damage output.

When attacking enemies, Lucy will accumulate points that gradually reach 100%. Once her points reach 100%, Lucy will be able to use her enhanced Resonance Skill to enter her Algorithm Compaction Mode. In this mode, all of Lucy’s damage will be massively enhanced and she will continuously accumulate TCP points that can be spent to enhance her Heavy Attack and Resonance Skill Damage Output. Additionally, during this mode, Lucy will be able to inflict Tune Hack onto enemies, dealing Hack damage to them. 

Upon accumulating enough energy, Lucy will be able to use her Resonance Liberation, which has 2 different modes: her initial Resonance Liberation allows her to pull up a special menu that lets her choose different effects to both debuff the enemies, dealing damage to them or to buff up the team. These effects can be triggered by spending RAM that Lucy can accumulate throughout the battle. The most powerful effect of this Resonance Liberation even allows Lucy to take control of an enemy and make them her ally in battle. When in Algorithm Compaction mode and after casting her Heavy Attack, Lucy will instead use her 2nd Resonance Liberation, which allows her to deal a massive instance of Spectro damage to enemies while also gaining the effects of the 1st Resonance Liberation.
