  1. Heya checking on the Ferry section it looks like you guys put the SR version instead of the SSR one since it mentions that she gives teamwide TA and Echoes on her 3

  2. Hello thanks for the useful info on this page! Just wanted to point out that you are addressing the first Sandalphon mention as “her”.
    Also on the cosmos guide, the drops listing has Thunderbolt Wheel which is actually the Luwoh drop, not cosmos;;
