Analysis
Solid all-rounder MC. Builds Ice Crystals for AoE and Stagger. Competitive in every mode, though stacks slower without Awakenings.

World / Path
T1
Cloud functions as a budget Mina with extra Stagger output. His Ice Crystal mechanic provides reliable AoE and Neutralization DMG, and his loop is satisfying once you understand it. Constant healing from waypoints makes survivability a non-issue, letting him focus purely on damage.
Conquest
T1
Cloud's Neutralization DMG and burst potential place him comfortably in the mid-tier for boss content. He stacks slower than Ellie or Flare without Awakenings, but is still a reliable option especially for newer players. His balance of Stagger and sustained damage keeps him relevant.
Dimensional Rift
T1
Surprisingly competitive in Rift thanks to his AoE Crystal discharge scaling with hit count. A well-timed Special Skill against a group can fully charge his crystals in one rotation, then immediately discharge for massive AoE. A genuinely underrated pick for this mode.
