FAQ
Is Laevatan strong at C0 (no duplicates)?
Yes. Laevatan is fully functional at C0; cons mainly smooth rotation and add burst windows rather than unlocking core kit. A solid pick even for free-to-play accounts.
Is the signature weapon mandatory?
Recommended but not required. A 4โ alternative retains most of the kit's value; pull the signature only after you secure the character and key gear sets.
Best teammate for Laevatan?
Pair with a Physical unit to complete the Crush step, plus a Pulse battery for charge uptime. See the Tier List for synergy rankings.
