Mina Gameplay and Playstyle
Mina is a 5 star Fire-type ranged Fighter who functions as a Main DPS, specializing in AoE Fire damage through her unique Essence mechanic. Her Basic Attack launches Foxfire Orbs at enemies and on the final hit she flourishes her tails to deal Fire DMG and gains a stack of Essence. When she has at least one Essence stack, holding the Basic Attack triggers Luminous Rush, a powerful multi-hit Fire DMG combo that consumes Essence. When Luminous Rush triggers 3 times, her 4th hit can activate without consuming Essence.
What makes Mina unique from other Fighter characters is her Essence mechanic that she's a ranged character while still being a Fighter. Her Special Skill fires a Foxfire Blast that pulls enemies toward her and dealing Fire DMG, which is excellent for grouping enemies together before unleashing Luminous Rush combos. Her cooldowns are amazingly low, meaning her kit is almost always available and her damage output stays consistently high without long setups.
Her Ultimate Skill summons a Foxfire Clone that mirrors her attacks which further increases her damage value. This is her biggest damage opportunity and the reason her Ultimate is the highest priority skill to level up. Combined with the Essence, the clone mechanic is where most of her highest damage come from. Mina also continues performing her Basic Attack chain while off-field and since her 4th Basic Attack applies Charm to enemies, players can quickly tag her in and out to apply the debuff during her off-field duration.
Mina
Mina Skills
| Skills | Type | Description |
Foxfire Orb (Basic Attack) | Fire DMG | Deals Fire DMG by launching Foxfire Orbs at an enemy. On her final attack, she flourishes her tails to deal Fire DMG and gains a stack of Essence. When Mina has 1 or more stacks of Essence, holding the Basic Attack button triggers Luminous Rush, dealing Fire DMG and consuming Essence. When Luminous Rush triggers 3 times, using her Basic Attack again triggers its 4th Hit without consuming Essence. |
Foxfire Blast (Special Skill) | Fire DMG | Throws an enhanced Foxfire Orb at an enemy and gains a stack of Essence. The orb deals Fire DMG as it pulls in nearby enemies, then explodes to deal bonus Fire DMG. |
Sparkling Flourish (Switch Skill) | Fire DMG | Appears near an enemy and swings her tails, creating a vortex that pulls in enemies, dealing Fire DMG and gaining a stack of Essence. After, she creates an explosion at its center, dealing additional Fire DMG. |
Foxfire Clone (Ultimate Skill) | Fire DMG | Summons a clone, and the two of them gather energy to throw a powerful Foxfire Orb at an enemy, dealing Fire DMG, inflicting Fire Affliction, and gaining a stack of Essence. The clone follows Mina around and mimics her skills to attack enemies for a set duration. While Mina has clones active, the number of Essence stacks gained from her Basic Attack's 4th Hit increases by the number of active clones. |
Essence of Fire (Passive Trait) | Passive | Gains a stack of Essence upon using certain attacks and inflicts Charm onto enemies who've lost their Essence.Essence stacks can be consumed by holding the Basic Attack button. |
Mina Skills
Mina Skill Upgrade Priority
| Skill Priority |
1st - Ultimate Skill |
2nd - Special Skill |
3rd - Basic Attack |
4th - Switch Skill |
The Ultimate Skill is the first one to upgrade because it summons clones that mirrors Mina's attacks, significantly boosting her damage per second. Next is the Special Skill because it's the main source of Essence stacking and AoE pulling, keeping her rotation smooth with her teammates and keeping enemies grouped together. After that is the Basic Attack because Luminous Rush and her off-field Basic Attack chain both scale off it. The Switch Skill can be left for last as the damage scaling of this skill is low.
