FRC: Results and Presets

After completing the environment, teams, Rounds, and Fiend turns, you can start calculation. Before calculating, the most important choice is each character's final stat source: should FRC try to optimize gear, use GearPicker Mode, reuse automatic final stats, or use final stats you entered manually?

1. Start Calculation and Member Settings

Click "Start Calculation" at the top right of the main page.

In "Calculation Member Settings", each character needs a calculation mode. A simple rule of thumb:

  • Main damage dealers: usually choose optimization so FRC can calculate gear and SubStat allocation.
  • Support characters that only provide Buffs / Debuffs: use custom final stats to reduce calculation time.
  • Characters with known actual stats: use custom final stats and participate directly in damage replay.
  • Characters that should use GearManager inventory allocation: enable GearPicker Mode, then choose the calculation mode per character.

If a character needs custom final stats but has not filled them in, the system will ask you to complete the data first.

2. GearPicker Mode

The top of "Calculation Member Settings" can enable "GearPicker Mode". This mode makes FRC use the GearManager inventory as the candidate gear source. It is useful when you need to check full-team gear allocation and prevent the same gear from being used by multiple characters at the same time.

After enabling GearPicker Mode, each character can choose a different final stat source:

  • Gear Optimization: allocate gear from the GearManager inventory and participate in GearPicker gear locking and candidate selection.
  • Automatic Final Stats: directly use the final stats calculated by the current baseline, without allocating GearManager gear.
  • Custom Final Stats: use final stats you entered manually or applied from the Character Stat Calculator.

If a character uses gear optimization, you can adjust candidate gear and GearPicker settings in that character row. If you need to organize the gear inventory first, open GearManager from "Manage Gears".

Suggested flow:

  1. Make sure the GearManager inventory has been imported and organized.
  2. Enable "GearPicker Mode".
  3. Set main damage dealers to "Gear Optimization".
  4. For supports that do not need gear allocation, use "Automatic Final Stats" or "Custom Final Stats".
  5. Check candidate gear parts and filters for every optimized character, then start calculation.

3. Custom Final Stats and Character Stat Calculator

Custom final stats do not need to be typed one field at a time. In character settings, switch to "Final Stats", click "Adjust with Character Stat Calculator", then use the Character Stat Calculator to build the character panel and apply it back to FRC.

Basic flow:

  1. In "Calculation Member Settings", click "Character Settings" for the target character.
  2. Switch to "Final Stats".
  3. Enable "Use Custom Final Stats".
  4. Click "Adjust with Character Stat Calculator".
  5. In the Character Stat Calculator, confirm gear, costumes, engravings, awakening, collection bonus, and bound costume.
  6. Click "Apply Final Stats" to fill the values back into FRC.
  7. Return to "Calculation Member Settings" and let that character use "Custom Final Stats".

This is useful when you do not want the character to participate in gear optimization, but still want final stats derived from a complete character setup.

4. Calculation Progress

Progress is displayed during calculation. More team members and more optimized members will increase calculation time.

Suggestions:

  • If support characters only provide Buffs, consider custom final stats or automatic final stats.
  • Optimize main damage dealers first.
  • If you only want to validate a timeline, using custom final stats for everyone is faster.
  • If you want to check inventory allocation, organize GearManager before using GearPicker Mode.

5. Ratio Overview

After calculation, click "Ratio Overview" to review results.

Ratio Overview shows:

  • Calculation result list
  • Hints for members that were not fully calculated
  • Full-team total damage
  • Entry points for each character damage report

If you calculate multiple times, results stay in the list so you can compare different settings.

6. Character Damage Report

In the character damage report, you can review:

  • Final stats
  • Bound costume
  • SubStat allocation
  • Gear setup
  • Costume damage
  • Round damage
  • Action damage details

If a character uses custom final stats, the report will not list optimized gear or SubStat allocation. If a character uses automatic final stats, it will also not list GearPicker gear allocation.

7. Action Damage Details

Click an action damage card to view details for a single action, such as:

  • Hit range
  • Damage details
  • Actor states at that timing
  • Fiend states at that timing
  • Hit count and Chain changes

When a result differs from expectations, this is usually the best place to trace it back. Start by checking hit range, character states, Fiend states, skill hits, and Chain changes.

8. Formation Presets

Click "Formation Presets" on the main page to save or load the current FRC settings.

Formation Presets are useful for:

  • Saving the current timeline
  • Comparing different team versions
  • Keeping settings for different Fiends or cycles
  • Continuing adjustments later
  • Preserving FRC-only Fiend skills, Fiend turns, and calculation settings

After loading an old preset, recheck whether character final stat settings should still be used.

For the basic preset UI operation, see TRC Save Feature.

If you want to turn the current FRC ally timeline into a normal formation template, use "Export as Formation Template" in Working with Formation Templates. The two features serve different purposes: Formation Presets save the FRC working state, while formation templates are for sharing and collaborating on ally timelines.

9. Clear and Reset

  • "Clear Records" only clears calculation results currently shown on the page.
  • "Reset Settings" resets the current FRC settings.

If you only want to calculate the same setup again, use "Clear Records". If you want to rebuild the whole FRC timeline, use "Reset Settings".
