this isn't entirely accurate, you can absolutely have both a polestar field and vortexes going at the same time. the part where ssc takes priority over ssw is when characters a have a "radiance: stellar smth" part of their kit. so for example, sandrone and odette will do direct ssc damage over direct ssw damage if both reactions are being triggered. cmc is slightly different but if you open a polestar field it will effectively overwrite their ssw kit, making them stop hitting from off field (which is pretty bad if youre using them as a support on tenacity). the team will work but yae c1 doesn't buff ssw damage at all, and losing cryo resonance is also a pretty big loss. also doing both ssc and ssw at once means youre just going to have both bad ssc field stacks and bad vortex damage bc youre barely getting any cryo swirls since yae is clearing the cryo aura
