Mint

A free, beginner-friendly Anima carry and the backbone of most starter teams. She widens the Vita Buds that Blossom spawns, so her damage scales with the whole squad's setup.

Overview

Mint is a free A-Rank Anima Main DPS and the friendliest carry in the game to pick up. She runs the same Blossom engine as the premium DPS, empowering the Vita Buds and Pistils the reaction spawns so they hit harder and cover more ground. If you're new, she is the carry to build first.

Strengths

  • Completely free and beginner-friendly
  • Empowers Blossom's Vita Buds — scales with the team
  • Drops straight into the standard Blossom shell (Zero, Jiuyuan)
  • All-Anima damage means a clean, simple build

Weaknesses

  • A-Rank ceiling — outscaled by S-Rank DPS like Nanally late-game
  • Relies on her team's reactions rather than solo burst
  • A stepping-stone carry more than an endgame one

Best Arc (weapon)

Recommended

Clear Skies — increases the Anima DMG dealt by her Skill and Ultimate, which is where the bulk of her damage lives.

Best gear (cartridge set)

Fireflies and the Forest — the same set that carries Nanally. The 2-piece grants +10% Anima damage and stacks CRIT DMG every time she deals Anima damage (up to +56% at full stacks). Build Type II modules for CRIT and you're set.

Best team — the Blossom shell

  1. Mint — carry

    Your on-field Main DPS, empowering every Vita Bud Blossom creates.

  2. Esper Zero — enabler

    Triggers the Blossom Esper Cycle so Mint always has buds to hit.

  3. Jiuyuan — Sub-DPS

    Doubles the Blossom buds and adds field control.

Upgrade path

When you pull Nanally, swap her in for Mint — the support shell stays identical.
