Rotation Guide

The rotation matters more than raw stats for this team. Practice the order until it becomes muscle memory — the difference between a smooth rotation and a messy one can be 30-40% of team DPS. Key tips: always snapshot buffs before the main damage window, and don't waste energy by overcapping.

Reaction coverage: Make sure your team enables Thoma's best reactions. For a Pyro unit, this means having the right off-field aura appliers.
Energy requirements: Check every teammate's ER needs. Thoma's rotation depends on everyone having their burst ready on time.
Survivability: Include a healer or shielder unless Thoma can sustain themselves. Comfort lets you focus on damage.
Upgrade path: Start with the F2P team, then upgrade one slot at a time as you pull better units.
