Revision 13

Overview

Mint is an A-Class Anima character and a rising star in the Bureau of Anomaly Control's Containment Unit 2. She is an energetic young fighter who charges into battle with dual blades and a fearless attitude. Her combat style emphasizes speed and area-of-effect damage, with her signature tornado transformation ability letting her carve through groups of enemies in seconds.

As an A-Class character, Mint is accessible early and relatively easy to upgrade. She fills the role of an AoE damage dealer for players who have not yet obtained stronger S-Class alternatives. While she is outclassed by Nanally in most competitive scenarios, Mint holds her own in story content and general exploration, where her fast clear speed for groups of enemies is genuinely useful.

Character Profile

Combat Kit

Mint wields dual blades with rapid multi-hit attack chains. Her normal attack combo delivers a flurry of quick slashes that hit enemies in a small arc in front of her. The attack speed is notably fast, generating multiple hits in a short window. Each hit applies Anima damage, and the rapid hits make her effective at triggering elemental reactions due to the sheer frequency of her elemental application.

Her primary skill transforms her into a spinning tornado that moves across the battlefield, dealing continuous Anima damage to all enemies caught in its path. The tornado lasts several seconds and covers a large area, making it ideal for grouping scenarios where enemies are clustered together. Players can steer the tornado's movement during the transformation to maximize enemy coverage.

Mint's Ultimate is a large AoE burst that deals heavy Anima damage in a wide radius around her. The burst hits all enemies in range simultaneously, making it one of the faster wave-clearing abilities available at the A-Class tier. After the burst, Mint returns to her normal form with a brief cooldown before her next skill rotation.

Strengths

• Strong AoE damage output that excels at clearing groups of enemies quickly

• Fast attack speed with dual blades generates frequent elemental application for reactions

• Anima element pairs with Cosmos for Blossom and with Incantation for Hexed reactions

• Accessible as an A-Class character, easy to obtain and upgrade without heavy gacha investment

• Her tornado transformation is fun to use and provides mobility during damage dealing

• Low mechanical difficulty makes her straightforward to play for all skill levels

Weaknesses

• Outclassed by Nanally in almost every scenario where both are available. Nanally shares the Anima element but offers superior DPS, team synergy, and scalability.

• Single-target damage is limited. Against bosses and elite enemies, her damage falls off compared to focused damage dealers.

• Damage does not scale well into endgame content, where enemy health pools make AoE spread damage less impactful.

• Limited team synergy compared to characters whose kits provide buffs, debuffs, or off-field effects.

• The tornado transformation, while fun, locks her into a pattern that can be punished by telegraphed boss attacks.

Team Synergy

As an Anima character, Mint works in reaction lanes with Cosmos characters (triggering Blossom) and Incantation characters (triggering Hexed). Adler is a natural Incantation partner who provides shields to protect Mint while she uses her tornado form. The Hexed reaction from their pairing debuffs enemies and increases the damage they take.

However, in most team compositions, Nanally fills the Anima DPS slot more effectively. Nanally's automatic follow-up attacks, superior scaling, and stronger single-target damage make her the preferred choice for challenging content. Mint is best used by players who have not yet obtained Nanally or who need a secondary Anima DPS for specific team setups.

Best Use Cases

Mint performs at her best in story content, daily exploration, and general overworld combat where her AoE damage clears groups efficiently. For these activities, her fast clearing speed and low investment requirements make her a practical choice. She is also useful in co-op content where equalized stats reduce the gap between A-Class and S-Class characters.

For harder boss encounters, anomaly dungeons, and competitive endgame content, Mint struggles to keep up with specialized damage dealers. In these scenarios, consider replacing her with a character whose kit is better suited to the encounter's demands.

Tips

• Use Mint for early-game content and switch to Nanally or another S-Class DPS once available for tougher challenges.

• Her tornado form is excellent for daily commission clearing and resource farming runs through the overworld.

• Pair her with Adler for easy Hexed reactions and teamwide shields during her tornado vulnerability windows.

• In co-op dungeons with equalized stats, Mint's AoE is valuable for clearing add phases even in harder content.
