Notes
Minimum recommended amount: 1
Priority varies greatly based on intended playstyle.
For a burst playstyle intended for a single, fast clear, Matrix Lightning is generally most favorable, but difficult to completely utilize well.
If the duration where Matrix is active does not coincide with the maximum DMG output period, Glorious Afterglow is a better alternative.
For a sustained output playstyle that requires multiple cycles within one rotation, Dead Line Timing is the most important resonance in the entire team.
Players should adjust and decide which weapon resonance(s) are best based on their ever-changing needs across different game modes.
If in doubt, picking Glorious Afterglow for PPC and Dead Line Timing for all other modes is always a safe option.
