    I don't have the potencies in front of me, but I believer it's still always worth aoe'ing in groups of three or more. Single target on two or less

    Blizzard II is no longer worth it once you have Freeze, as it has the same potency per second as Fire II in Astral Fire III. You can spam Freeze until you learn Flare, then you go:

    3x Fire II -> Flare -> Transpose -> 4x Freeze -> Fire II (AF3 swap) -> repeat, add Thunder at your leisure

    Fire II is no longer worth it once you have Lv58 Umbral Hearts as Flare spamming and transposing is stronger than any variant of Fire II due to massively higher potency per second. So you do:

    @AF3 + Umbral Heart: Flare -> Flare -> Transpose -> Freeze -> Freeze/AOE Thunder/Foul -> Transpose -> Repeat
    (This will provide enough MP for 2x Flare)

    High Fire II and High Blizzard II potencies are too low still for them to be worth it. They need to be back at 140 base potency as they were in Endwalker to be worthwhile using.
