Skills & Role Summary
Mint is a free Anima starter DPS with a wind-themed dual-blade kit. Her hold attack creates a tornado that continuously drains Stamina for sustained Anima AoE damage. She has two Ultimates: Super Claws (dash forward and back for 2-hit AoE) and Thunderous Whirlwind Slash (channels wind into blades for multi-hit Anima burst ending with a massive final hit). Her passive resets Super Claws cooldown when Caramel Crisp hits. The core loop is: hold basic for tornado sustain → build meter → Ultimate for burst window. She's free from story chapter 1 and viable for all early game content.
Build Tips
- Invest mats after your main team core is set — Mint fits Starter DPS slots.
- Pair with adjacent Esper Cycle elements for Duo or Triple Cycle meter fill.
- Strong in F2P or story teams until you pull higher-tier units in the same element.
Recommended Teams
Zero and Mint share Anima element for basic reaction coverage. Adler shields, Edgar heals. All free units from story progression. Mint handles AoE with tornado while Zero focuses single targets.
Mint (Anima) + Haniel (Psyche) adjacent elements trigger Blossom reaction. Fadia charges Esper Cycle for repeat Ultimates. Adler shields during burst windows. Good for boss content with Mint's tornado sustain.

Mint FAQ
Is Mint worth building in NTE?
Mint is free and viable for early game. Build her as your starter DPS until you pull better characters like Nanally or Chiz. She's replaceable but functional.
Who should I pair with Mint?
Pair with {character:zero} (Anima resonance), {character:adler} (shields), and {character:edgar} (heals). All free characters from story progression.
When should I replace Mint?
Replace when you pull Nanally, Chiz, or another S-tier DPS. Mint is a stepping stone — don't invest heavily in her after early game.
