Mint - How To Play & Rotations

Basic Combat Strategy

Sweep Mobs by Holding Basic Attack

Holding Mint's Basic Attack triggers "Minty Whirlwind", in which she spins in place while consuming Stamina. It deals AoE damage by sweeping in surrounding enemies, making it incredibly effective when mobs are clustered together.

Rack Up Damage via the Short-CD Redirect Skill

Aim for Massive Damage with the Ultimate

The Ultimate "Ultimate: Thunderous Whirlwind Slash" delivers a powerful finishing blow following a multi-hit attack of wind blades. While stacking "Cycle Energy" through the Redirect Skill, trigger it to coincide with a boss Break or similar opening for high Burst DPS.

Mint Best Team Composition

Blossom & Hexed Team

Attacker	Cosmos	Anima	Buff
Mint	Esper Zero	Jiuyuan	Sakiri

A team built around Mint, with Esper Zero and Sakiri aiming for Blossom and Hexed. The core plan is to fight using Mint's short-cooldown Redirect Skill while layering Blossom and Hexed on top to multiply hits and amp damage.

Recommended Ascension Effect for Mint

Task Force Operation Recommended

For the first Awakening slot, we recommend Task Force Operation, which resets the Redirect Skill's CD on a Critical Riposte. The increase in attack frequency translates directly to a major DPS boost.

More Ascensions Boost Frequency and Mobility

Since you can freely set Awakening Effects in this game, opening more Ascension slots lets you stack "Crit DMG UP" and "Skill Multiplier UP" alongside "CD Reset." He ultimately transforms into a flawless attacker who keeps slamming high-DPS skills with no openings.
