Pros & Cons for Mina Ashiro (Off the Scale)
Critical Damage Dealer
Mina builds focus through her Combat Skill and Normal Attacks, and unleashes a guaranteed Critical Hit when consuming 3 Focus stacks. With the right buffs and Uniparts, she can easily become your team's primary damage dealer.
Can Buff Self
Mina's Combat Skill grants her a damage dealt buff and Normal Attack buff, which allows her to ramp up her firepower without any need for a dedicated support character.
Extra Damage to Giants-Kaiju
Thanks to her Passive Skill, Mina's damage dealt to giant-class Kaiju is increased. She's an asset in story missions and high-difficulty stages where giant-class Kaiju appear as bosses.
Maintaining HP is Important
Mina's ATK increases when her HP is at 80% or higher. Keeping her healthy is essential to bring out her full potential, so pair her with a Defender.
Not Ideal for Small-Sized Kaiju Battles
While Mina can deal enormous damage to giant-class Kaiju, her attacks are ST Attacks, so she won't do well against small-sized Kaiju. Her true strength lies in delivering massive, single-target damage so use her mainly on boss battles.
Best Team Comps for Mina Ashiro (Off the Scale)
Squad Setup vs. Giant-Class Kaiju
Centered around the high-DPS 5★ Mina, this is a squad setup designed for boss battles against giant-class Kaiju. Mina's guaranteed Critical Hit makes her the primary damage dealer, capable of quickly reducing the boss's HP. To maximize her damage potential, 4★ Hoshina is included in the lineup to provide a CRIT DMG buff.

Besides her signature weapon, T-Oceanus is recommended as it can grant an ATK buff to herself. If there are few Kaiju on the field, the DMG dealt also increases, making it a good match for Mina, who is suited for fighting giant-class Kaiju. T-Rhea, available from the Defense Force Pass, also has a performance that can take advantage of Mina's guaranteed Critical Hits.

Best Skill Enhance Priority for Mina Ashiro (Off the Scale)
Recommended Skill Upgrade Priority
| Normal Attack | ★★★★・ |
|---|---|
| Combat Skill | ★★★・・ |
| Ultimate | ★★★★★ |
| Follow-Up Skill | ★・・・・ |
| Passive Skill | ★★・・・ |
Enhancing the Ultimate, which skyrockets firepower with a guaranteed Critical Hit, is the top priority. Thanks to Additional Passive Skill 2, the Ultimate's uptime is also not bad.
The next highest priority is the Normal Attack. For situations where you have 3 stacks of Focus and an inactive Ultimate, you will often use Normal Attack and it will deal a guaranteed Critical Hit. The Combat Skill is also excellent, but since it lasts for 2 turns, it's recommended to prioritize the more frequently used Normal Attack.
When forming multiple teams, Mina is an amazing pick as a specialist against Giant-Class Kaiju and in that case, prioritizing her Passive Skill is recommended.
