“Castorice can indeed work as a support for Mydei, but a team where Castorice is the main DPS can function without Mydei.
Does this make sense? In a team where Mydei is the main DPS, Castorice can serve as a support to maximize Mydei’s output. However, when Castorice is the main DPS, the best team doesn’t need Mydei, and its upper potential is slightly higher than a dual DPS setup. The logic is like this. Castorice’s dragon has a very high max HP, and it needs to consume a certain amount of the team’s HP to fully charge its ultimate skill. The higher the team’s total HP, the faster the charging speed (generally, once the team’s HP reaches a certain threshold, the dragon can act twice in a row). However, using the dragon’s abilities also consumes both its own HP and the team’s current HP, and if the HP hits zero, it self-destructs. Once the dragon’s ultimate is used, it self-destructs, dealing damage equal to the maximum HP + remaining HP.
Although a speed-up buff from a turn order modifier can increase the cycle speed, it will also decrease the dragon’s HP, which lowers the damage of its ultimate. On the other hand, self-damaging characters in the team can accelerate the dragon’s energy recovery without consuming the dragon’s current HP, which is effectively a form of support.
Additionally, the dragon’s HP can be reliably healed back with a big healing buff, but this healing doesn’t come until version 3.3. Castorice and Mydei can indeed function as support in the simulated universe, but in practice, although it’s usable, it’s not necessarily optimal for either. It’s not the best setup for either character individually.”
