Stat priorities

Start with the first priority and work down. These are practical build goals, not simulated stat weights.

  1. 1. ATK

    Fund the skill-to-basic Sword Dance loop before chasing conditional bonuses.

  2. 2. Critical rate

    Use reliable crit buffs first. A counter-only buff does not have full uptime when you miss the counter.

  3. 3. EP recovery and damage

    Keep Thorny Rain available. Dazmand buffs Lightning damage crits, not Grass damage crits.

Party blueprints

Three ways to build around the blade

Start balanced, lean into crit pressure, or widen the matchup plan with BREAK and coverage. Core slots define this blueprint. Replace a flex member only if its replacement still covers the job described on the card.

Balanced field team

Melloblum supports Grass pressure, Somniwing smooths EP, and Prismana Glameep sustains the full party.

Low-counter Lightning coverage

Charged EdgeSituational variant

Rainstorm Thornblade keeps the short-skill Sword Dance loop. Dazmand supports Lightning Impact; its Lightning-only crit buff does not boost Grass Thorny Rain. Keep Melloblum instead when Grass damage dominates.

Forms and typing

One rotation, three type profiles

Every form keeps the core trait while changing the matchup through Grass, Lightning and Water typing.

Regional forms guide
Combat loadouts

Keep the loop; change the answer

Elegant Waltz, the basic attack and Thorny Rain anchor the sets while a flex skill covers the target. Each loadout has two active skill slots; the fifth entry is an optional swap for slot 2.

Carried items

Carried items and upgrade target

Ferocious Fang sets the ATK baseline, Destiny's Dice keeps burst flexible, Fission Needles supports faster rotations, and Thorny Defense adds comfort.

Personality goal

Quick rotation4 steps · follow in order

Build stacks, spend them, stay active

The shortest version of the Sword Dance loop.

  1. Step 1: Choose the low-counter variant when needed

    On Rainstorm, use Thorny Rain, Lightning Impact and empowered basics as the steady loop. Dazmand is optional Lightning support; compare the same target and investment before replacing a Grass buffer.

    Lightning ImpactThornbladeThorny RainThornblade

  2. Step 2: Open with skills

    Use the short skills to reach four Sword Dance stacks.

  3. Step 3: Cash out basics

    Spend one stack per basic attack for Sword Dance bonus damage.

  4. Step 4: Flex the form

    Use Rainstorm, Prismana or Umbrabow when its typing improves the matchup.

Execution notes

Make the build hold together

Use these encounter rules to preserve the rotation instead of forcing the same sequence into every target.

Keep the loop intact

Coverage forms change typing, not the Sword Dance plan.

BREAK first when possible

A broken target gives the full basic-attack cash-out a safer window.
