Combat system guide
Combat Roles are quick labels for what a Resonator contributes: personal damage, amplification, status mechanics, or utility. Use them to understand a kit faster—not to rank characters or replace the full skill description.
Start here
A role tag answers one narrow question about a kit. Read several tags together, then open the character guide when you need exact values, durations, recipients, or rotation details.
It tells you whether the tag describes personal damage, teammate amplification, a combat mechanic, or utility.
One Resonator can cover several jobs, so a single tag never summarizes the entire kit.
An amplification label names the affected damage type, but the full kit explains its recipient and conditions.
They help you find relevant kits quickly; they do not measure strength, field time, or team performance.

Search either language or narrow the list by purpose. Each definition explains what the label communicates without adding values the tag itself does not provide.

Common mix-ups
The closest labels usually differ by target, damage scope, or which part of a mechanic they improve.
Damage vs DMG Amplification
A damage tag points to the Resonator’s own main damage source. An amplification tag means the kit can raise the named damage for another Resonator under its stated conditions.
Attribute vs attack-type amplification
Aero, Electro, Fusion, Glacio, Havoc, and Spectro amplification apply by attribute. Basic, Heavy, Skill, Liberation, Echo Skill, and Coordinated Attack amplification apply by damage classification.
Off-Tune Buildup vs Tune Break Boost
Buildup Efficiency helps reach the Off-Tune state faster. Tune Break Boost improves the payoff after the enemy has entered that break state.
Status vs response
A status tag indicates that the kit applies or works with that status. A response tag specifically means the kit reacts to Tune Rupture or Tune Strain.
Read with context
No. It says the kit is built for high personal damage, but the rotation and field-time requirements still come from the full kit.
Yes. A Resonator can deal meaningful personal damage while also amplifying teammates, healing, controlling enemies, or supporting a Tune mechanic.
They may describe different parts of the same kit—for example, applying a status and separately responding to a Tune effect.
