Mint
薄荷
Mint is a quick and agile Anima-type fighter from the Bureau of Anomaly Control's CSU-2 unit who dual-wields blades in her signature cat-themed combat style. Her A-Rank Solid Arc affinity makes her an effective Main DPS in early game, transitioning to a Sub-DPS role as you acquire more S-Rank characters. Her kit centers around her Perfect Containment and Caramel Crisp abilities for sustained Anima DMG output.
Skills
Normal Attack
Perfect Containment — Performs rapid dual blade slash combos dealing Anima DMG. Can chain into Justice From Above for additional strikes.

Ultimate
Overdrive: Invincible Tornado Slash — Transforms into Super Mint form, delivering a devastating tornado of Anima blade strikes to all nearby enemies. The strongest of Mint's Overdrive finishers.

A verdant Cartridge set themed around mystical forest fireflies that illuminate the path of Anima-type warriors. Fireflies and the Forest is the premier Anima DMG set, providing the highest damage ceiling for sustained Anima DPS characters through its stacking CRIT DMG mechanic. Core set for Nanally, Jiuyuan, and Mint.

4-Piece: After dodging an attack, increases CRIT DMG by 20% for 10 seconds. Critical hits have a 25% chance to deal an additional 30% ATK as bonus DMG.
A dark and mysterious Cartridge set that rewards evasive combat and precise timing. Shadow Creed provides consistent Crit-based damage amplification for DPS characters who incorporate dodge mechanics into their rotation. Strong universal DPS option for Jiuyuan, Mint, and Hathor when their elemental-specific sets are unavailable.
Build Notes
Prioritize ATK% and Anima DMG bonus. Signature weapon Clear Skies (Anima DMG +20% on Redirect/Ult) is her best option. Best Cartridge: Fireflies and the Forest (Anima DMG +10%, stacking CRIT DMG). Alternative: Shadow Creed. Solid budget DPS for early-to-mid game progression.
