Short Intro

A strong team starts with role clarity and elemental synergy—then leveraging both to force stagger and convert at the perfect moment.

Core Operator Roles

• Guard: burst Physical; finishes that push the stagger bar.
• Defender: the anchor — sustain, mitigation, grouping.
• Caster: Arts inflictions (Heat/Cryo/Electric/Nature) to trigger reactions.
• Supporter: buffs/debuffs and set‑ups for clean conversions.
• Vanguard: SP flow and rotation smoothing.
• Striker: closer/finisher — cashes out vulnerability stacks.

Faction Alignment & Lore Hooks

Endfield Industries, the Protocol Recycling Dept., and OMV Dijiang set the industrial frontier tone on Talos‑II—expect operations, rescues, and plenty of corporate intrigue.

Synergy Mechanics: Reactions + Stagger

Apply → Protect → Cash out. Apply Arts (Cryo/Electric/Heat/Nature), protect your window with Defender/Supporter, then consume vulnerability during the stagger timing for maximum returns.

Role Specialization: Building for the Meta

• Prioritize SP uptime (talents/gear that smooth rotations).
• Pair complementary elements (e.g., Cryo to set, Physical to cash out).
• Assign clear jobs per operator (setup / protection / finisher).
