Scaling Notes

Ines scales with control consistency — longer and more frequent disruption increases total encounter efficiency.

Team Synergy

Pairs well with both burst DPS and sustained damage dealers who capitalize on controlled enemies.

Known Issues

Underwhelming in speed-farm scenarios where enemies die before control matters.
