Cartethyia + Ciaccona vs Cartethyia + Mortefi: Aero Enable Choice 2026
Cartethyia's premium team uses Ciaccona, who amplifies Aero Erosion for massive detonation damage. A free alternative uses Mortefi, whose Heavy-Attack buff still helps but does not amplify Erosion. The choice is ceiling versus cost.
Cartethyia + Ciaccona vs Cartethyia + Mortefi (F2P)
Cartethyia + Ciaccona
Team: Cartethyia + Ciaccona + Shorekeeper
Ciaccona amplifies Aero Erosion and buffs Aero; Cartethyia detonates Erosion for her biggest hits.
Pros:
- Highest Cartethyia ceiling
- Erosion amplification is unique
- Ciaccona fits other Aero teams
Cons:
- Requires Ciaccona (limited)
- More complex rotation
Rotation: Ciaccona Erosion amp -> Cartethyia detonation -> repeat
Cartethyia + Mortefi (F2P)
Team: Cartethyia + Mortefi + Baizhi
Mortefi grants a Heavy-Attack buff; Cartethyia still detonates Erosion but with less amplification.
Pros:
- Fully free units
- Heavy-Attack buff still helps
- Good early Aero team
Cons:
- No Erosion amplification
- Lower ceiling than Ciaccona
Rotation: Mortefi buff -> Cartethyia detonation -> repeat
Verdict
Ciaccona is the best enable for Cartethyia's Erosion playstyle; Mortefi is a fine free stopgap. Upgrade when you pull Ciaccona.
