{{Companion icon|Licht}} is a unit that does not stand out on his own, but truly shines as a support for units with strong charge skill (CS). Every single one of his base skills is related to CP boosting; however, his own CS has the underwhelming effect of reducing the enemy CP (30CP for SALV 1), so his self-boosting [[Artist]] serves his kit the least. In fact, it is preferable that Licht minimizes his own CP level since his main CP-boosting skills only activate when he attacks normally, and not when attacking with his CS. Besides this, he reliably bestows {{Status_effect|闘志}} to buff ally damage. One nice part of incorporating Licht in your team is that he necessitates the careful consideration of which teammates would synergize best with him, making teambuilding more challenging but also more fun (and potentially more rewarding).

'''Damage buffer'''

Enemy skills that reduce the CP of allies by even a bit prevent the CP meter from ever completely filling, thus preventing CAs from ever happening. Licht's utility almost exclusively depends on CP boosting and CS activation, so even minor CP debuffs severely guts him. Skill sealers are often not a threat to Licht due to his ability to stay out of range, but he is similarly rendered near-useless if debuffed by either [[Bind]] or [[Skill seal]].

As All range has a severe damage multiplier penalty, the key to restoring its lethality is stacking multiple buffs. Gyumao deals 1617 base damage per square with his CS, accounting for both CS multiplier bonus (4×) and all range multiplier penalty (0.1×). Similarly, Typhon's base CS damage per square is 2180. While Gyumao can self-bestow {{Status effect|熱情}} during his CA, the buff would likely be only SLV1 (dependent on SALV); thus, it is ideal to bestow a SLV100 {{Status effect|熱情}} with your other Support Gyumao by [[Hot-Blooded Mystical Demon]], or bestow SLV100 [[Concentration]] with your Support Typhon by [[バンドを組む者|Band Bander]]. Typhon only has one CP self-boosting skill (on phase start), but his magic range would enable him to gain more CP bonus from attacking further-to-reach enemies. Typhon's CS should be boosted with SLV100 {{Status effect|熱情}} through Gyumao. Coupled with SLV100 {{Status_effect|闘志}} from Licht, Gyumao would have three buffs total at the beginning of the next phase (SLV100 {{Status_effect|闘志}}, {{Status effect|熱情}}/[[Concentration]], and [[Critical+]] from [[ろくろを回す者|Potter's Wheel Turner]], for 1617×2.4×(2.4 or 2.2)×5 = 46567 or 42689 damage), and Typhon would have two buffs ({{Status_effect|闘志}} and {{Status effect|熱情}} on self for 2180×2.4×2.4 = 12557 damage). In either case, both should supply enough damage for a board clear for enemies at least up to level 50 (e.g. Elite dailies). Gyumao can continue gaining CP quickly because his CS effects include self-applying {{Status effect|加速}}. Board wipes should be possible to keep up for at least three consecutive phases, before Licht gains enough CP for his own charge strike (and thus is unable to attack regularly to boost ally CP again).

In the case that a board-wipe fails, stalling strategies becomes an immediate option (if another board-wiping CS is not readied), as Gyumao's CS effects include applying [[Fear]] and blow back one square, and Typhon applies [[Paralysis]] and blow back one square. This extra stalling period can be used to position yourself up for a final blow that would CP-boost enough for the next board-wiping CA. It might be a good period of time too to willingly exhaust Licht's CA, to enable him to boost CP again.
