Mint Weapons Compositions

Youthful Fantasy

Effects by Level

Level 1:Wearer ATK +10.00%. Arc: Black Tome is sealed by six chains. Each Critical Dodge, Parry Attack, Entry Attack, or Skill unleashes one chain. When all six are unleashed, Arc: Black Tome becomes available. Arc: Black Tome summons the Black Tome and chains up to 6 enemies for 30s, reducing their Chaos RES by 20.00%.

Level 2:Wearer ATK +12.50%. Arc: Black Tome chains reduce enemy Chaos RES by 25.00%.

Level 3:Wearer ATK +15.00%. Arc: Black Tome chains reduce enemy Chaos RES by 30.00%.

Level 4:Wearer ATK +17.50%. Arc: Black Tome chains reduce enemy Chaos RES by 35.00%.

Level 5:Wearer ATK +20.00%. Arc: Black Tome chains reduce enemy Chaos RES by 40.00%.

This weapon's core strength is its dual value: a solid personal ATK boost for the wielder (up to 20%) combined with powerful team support via its Arc ability, which reduces Chaos RES for multiple enemies (up to 40%). Its trigger conditions align seamlessly with combat, making it a perfect, efficient choice for hybrid sub-DPS/support roles.

 

Mint Team Compositions

Peppermint is a quick-cute output character in the Spirit element, excelling in mobile clearing and serving as a beginner-friendly secondary C. Her short cooldown bursts and multi-range damage make her ideal for rapid damage dealing and positioning. When combined with team buffs, she achieves an exceptionally fast damage output rhythm.

The E-Skill 'Super Chain Claw' initiates with damage and stacking buffs, followed by a normal attack that triggers 'Caramel Crisps'. When energy is fully charged, Q 'Thunderbolt Slash' unleashes an explosion, then QTE clears the battlefield. This cycle repeats continuously.

Top-tier graduating team [Most recommended]

Mint	Sakiri	Adler	Skia
Mint	Sakiri	Fadia	Skia

Position: A versatile all-rounder that combines offense and defense, excels at clearing maps and taking down BOSSes, and is the strongest combo in the current version.

Mint serves as the primary C, stacking combos, clearing the field with tornadoes, and delivering final burst damage. Sakiri acts as a crowd control and pressure mechanism, trapping enemies within Mint's tornado range. Adler (or Fadia) provides shields, damage reduction, and survival, covering Mint's weak phase after her ultimate to maintain battlefield presence. Skia's burst damage then finishes the game— he charges through walls, finishes with low-health, and fills burst gaps.

Newbie Transition Team

zero	Mint	Fadia	Nanally

In this team, Mint is an easily obtainable utility support who provides buffs, debuffs, and crowd control, reducing the pressure on damage dealers. Zero and Nunnally can provide stable basic attacks plus AOE damage, serving as the main damage dealers in the early game. Finally, Fadia can takes on healing, damage sharing, and damage reflection, acting as the core of the team’s survivability.

 

Conclusion

Mint is a cost-effective permanent spirit-type sub-DPS character . With simple controls, high mobility, and outstanding wave-clearing efficiency, she is well-suited for early-game progression. Whether serving as the main damage dealer or providing sustain, she delivers reliable performance.
