Tier Position

Analysis

Straightforward Anima attacker. A godsend for F2P players who can max her early, but a resource trap for high-end accounts.

Pros

As an A-level character, significantly easier and cheaper to max out early

Strong F2P value for players who need a reliable early carry

Cons

Damage ceiling pales in comparison to S-level carries

High-end players should hold resources for Hotori or Lacrimosa instead

Recommended Build

Role: Sub DPS / Blossom Enhancer

Mint's expanded AoE radius is most impactful alongside Nanally's 10 Pistils: together they turn every Blossom volley into area coverage. Replacing Edgar with Hathor corrects the team's elemental gap — Hathor (Lakshana) completes the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana top-trio for the Charge triple-cycle, adding Remora uptime and Delay Warning's Crit Rate buff. Zero's Insta-Cycle ensures Blossom never stalls between rotations. Fireflies and the Forest boosts Mint's Anima DMG output.

Recommended Team

Nanally

Main DPS

More Than Passionate fires 10 Vita Pistils per Vita Bud at 1s intervals; the primary Blossom damage dealer.

Mint

Sub DPS / Blossom Enhancer

Transform! Super Mint! expands Vita Pistils' AoE explosion radius on hit — stacked with Nanally's 10 Pistils, this turns Blossom into an area-clearing reaction against groups and wide boss hitboxes.

Zero

Quick Swap / Battery

Insta-Cycle forces Blossom procs on demand; Appraiser doubles every Blossom flower count in Charge triple-cycle setups.

Hathor

Battery / Sub DPS

Lakshana anchor completing the Cosmos+Anima+Lakshana Charge triple-cycle. Delay Warning extends Remora to 12s and grants +10% Crit Rate team-wide, amplifying both Nanally's and Mint's Pistil damage.

About

Mint believes everyone has a unique scent and prefers to call people by the scent she detects rather than their names. Her quirky nicknames, energetic personality, and top-notch performance in containment work earn her praise from even the strictest seniors. However— "Hehe, I'm going to become a CSU Ace… Did I fail the containment regulation exam again…? Uwaa…" Clearly, Mint needs a bit more luck to achieve her dreams.
