How To Play & Rotation for Mint
Basic Playstyle
- Sweep small enemies by holding Basic Attack
- Rack up damage with the short-CD Redirect Skill
- Aim for big damage with the Ultimate
Sweep Small Enemies by Holding Basic Attack
Holding the Basic Attack consumes Stamina to activate "Mint's Great Whirlwind," spinning in place continuously. It deals area damage to nearby enemies, making it extremely effective when small enemies are clustered together.
Rack Up Damage with the Short-CD Redirect Skill
p:The Redirect Skill "Secret Art: Super Wind Claw" boasts an extremely short 6-second cooldown as its biggest strength. You can fire it frequently to efficiently rack up damage and Cycle Value, making it an easy-to-use centerpiece of their playstyle.Aim for Big Damage with the Ultimate
The Ultimate "Secret Art: Gale Slash" is a skill that delivers a powerful finishing blow following multi-hit wind blade attacks. While building up Cycle Value with the Redirect Skill, timing the activation with a boss Break or similar window enables high burst damage.

Special Dispatch is recommended
For the first Awakening Slot, we recommend "Special Dispatch," which resets the Redirect Skill's cooldown on a perfect-dodge counter. The increase in attack frequency greatly boosts DPS.
The more Awakening Slots, the more they can dominate with overwhelming attack frequency and mobility
Since this game lets you freely set Awakening Effects, as your Awakening Slots increase you can simultaneously stack "CD Reset" along with "CRIT DMG UP" and "Skill Multiplier Increase." Ultimately, they transform into a flawless attacker who keeps landing high-DPS skills without pause.
