War Zone

Details

Can just be borrowed from other characters.
QTE support for the Lee: Entropy / Rosetta: Rigor team in War Zone.
QTE support for the Lucia: Crimson Abyss / Rosetta: Rigor team in War Zone.
Lantern Festival: Reunion is a viable alternative to Voltaire as well.
If you are clearing waves fast, replace Voltaire with Catherine to have better debuff coverage.
- Catherine does not stack, but Catherine on Rosetta has a cooldown.
- Using a Double QTE Trigger on Rosetta's Catherine will not apply the effect on the next wave; having another set on Karenina bypasses this problem.
- Double QTE Trigger: activate the QTE of the character who is not holding Da Vinci, wait until they finish their QTE animation and disappear from the field, activate the Da Vinci user's QTE and trigger the first character's QTE again (via Da Vinci's effect).
