Overview

Mint is a charming cat girl who holds the self-proclaimed record for “Most Times Tricked by Anomalies” in the Containment Units. Despite her clumsy reputation, she’s a fast and aggressive melee DPS who excels at covering field time between main DPS burst windows. Her short cooldowns and Dodge resets make her an excellent F2P option.

Gameplay Tips

  1. Use Minty Whirlwind (hold Basic Attack) for AoE situations
  2. Super Claw has short cooldown — use frequently for consistent damage
  3. Critical Riposte (Caramel Crisp) resets Super Claw CD at A1 — dodge into attacks
  4. Mint excels as a field-time filler between main DPS burst windows
  5. DEF +20% and Interruption resistance make her surprisingly tanky while attacking
  6. At A6, she becomes an excellent finisher for low-HP targets
