Pros & Cons for Mina Ashiro (Aiming for Greater Heights)
Provides Amazing DMG Buffs
Mina can apply ATK buffs, DMG dealt buffs, and Combat Skill damage buffs to allies. She has many buffs that can enhance firepower, further expanding the effectiveness of Attackers.
Buffs Have a Long Duration
The Morale buff that Mina can apply with her Combat Skill lasts for 3 turns. Since it has a long duration regardless of her Ascension level, she is an easy-to-use character even at A0.
Can Also Deal Damage with Her Ultimate
When Mina has applied Morale to an ally with her Combat Skill, her Ultimate gains a DMG Multiplier and a DMG dealt buff. While increasing the firepower of her allies, she can also deal a decent amount of damage herself.

Best Skill Enhance Priority for Mina Ashiro (Aiming for Greater Heights)
Recommended Skill Upgrade Priority
| Normal Attack | ★★・・・ |
|---|---|
| Combat Skill | ★★★★★ |
| Ultimate | ★★★・・ |
| Follow-Up Skill | ★・・・・ |
| Passive Skill | ★★★★・ |
Both the Combat Skill and Passive Skill are excellent. The Combat Skill has a longer duration in turns and is easier to use, so the Passive Skill has a higher priority, but if possible, you should enhance both at the same time.
Your allies will likely have Morale almost all the time, so the Ultimate that increases firepower has a higher priority than the Normal Attack when allies have Morale.
