Your first rotation
- 01
Heal and enter against a predictable attack, then activate Ballistic Guard.
- 02
Apply Guardbreak Slam and safe basic attacks while watching the enemy’s BREAK bar.
- 03
Hand the vulnerable phase to your attacker, then heal Helmut before its next entry.
EP is your skill resource. BREAK is the vulnerable phase after the enemy’s break bar is depleted. An ultimate is the charged special skill. Read the full rotation and entry requirements.
At a glance
Stat priorities
Start with the first priority and work down. These are practical build goals, not simulated stat weights.
- 1. BREAK
Shorten the pressure phase and deliver more usable openings to the attacker.
- 2. HP and relevant defense
Sustain close-range entries. Favor the defense that matches the encounter’s incoming damage.
- 3. EP recovery
Keep the defensive entry and your next attacking action available; avoid an empty resource bar under pressure.
Party blueprints
Choose who uses the opening
Keep the breaker job fixed and choose an attacker you have already developed. Core slots define this blueprint. Replace a flex member only if its replacement still covers the job described on the card.
Prepare a channel

Bank Gachapus’s ultimate and EP before committing Helmut to BREAK. The attacker’s setup is part of the plan.

Helmut breaks while Piopiota prepares Water support. Keep Sherro ready to enter when the opening appears.
Forms and typing
Dark foundation, Ice option
Start with the ordinary form. Snowfield offers Guardbreak Smash coverage.
Combat loadouts
Defense plus active pressure
Keep the defensive tool and one attacking skill; basic attacks fill resource gaps. Each loadout labels its equipped skills. An optional swap, where shown, replaces slot 2.
Dark defensive entry
Combat setUse the ordinary form. There is no ultimate listed in this kit.
Slot 2 choice: Keep Ballistic Guard. The Snowfield form supplies the Ice Guardbreak Smash alternative.
Snowfield coverage
Combat setChoose Snowfield when Ice coverage is useful; the defensive job stays the same.
Slot 2 choice: Use Guardbreak Slam on the ordinary form; Guardbreak Smash requires Snowfield access.

Quick rotation5 steps · follow in order
Defend, break, hand over
Prepare support before the vulnerable window so your attacker can spend it attacking.
Step 1: Read the next attack
Enter against a predictable melee pattern. Stay close enough for the counter wave to reach; avoid committing during a lethal telegraph.
Step 2: Activate Ballistic Guard
Activate the 20% damage reduction before contact. Its counter wave rewards controlled exposure; it is not invulnerability or a team-wide defensive buff.
Step 3: Work the BREAK bar
Use Guardbreak Slam between attacks and finish its three-smash chain only when safe. Its third hit can stun eligible targets for one second. Use basics when EP is low.
Step 4: Switch immediately at BREAK
Send in your prepared attacker. Helmut staying on field after finishing its job can consume the most valuable damage time.
Step 5: Heal and rebuild
Recover before the next entry. If a ranged target will not approach, change positioning or breaker instead of waiting for counter waves that cannot connect.

Execution notes
Make the build hold together
Use these encounter rules to preserve the rotation instead of forcing the same sequence into every target.
Controlled contact
Accept small predictable hits only when the reduction and healing can sustain them. Dodge large attacks, grabs and dangerous ground effects.
Judge the whole team
Compare time to BREAK, Helmut’s remaining HP and how much of the opening your attacker uses. A slower break that consistently delivers a clean handoff can be more useful while learning.
When to change the plan
Repeated knockouts call for durability or timing changes. Long idle stretches call for a more active breaker. Ballistic Guard is not an automatic victory loop.
