Core Reaction Mechanics
Blossom — The Strongest DPS Reaction
Blossom is a high-damage AoE reaction between Cosmos and Anima elements:
- Trigger: Cosmos attack hits an enemy with Anima applied
- Damage: Large AoE, scales with triggering character's ATK
- Best trigger: Zero (either gender) due to instant 100-stack cycle rate
Charge — Energy Acceleration
Triggered by Cosmos + Incantation:
- Accelerates team Ultimate energy gain
- Ideal for Ultimate-dependent comps
Remora — Damage Over Time
Triggered by Cosmos + Psyche:
- Attaches to target for continuous damage
- Good for sustained DPS teams

FAQ

A: Nearly identical kits. Use whichever you have. If you run Hotori, Zero (Male) has slightly better synergy.

A: Not required, but Hotori's recording mechanic boosts team DPS by 50%+. Highly recommended to pull.
Q: What does Blossom damage scale with?
A: Triggering character's ATK, Elemental Mastery, and level. Zero's cycle rate gives the highest Blossom trigger frequency.
