character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Dodge Counter is the only damaging part; perfect dodge utility matters more than damage. | |
 assist | Quick and defensive assists mainly swap and parry; damage bonus from levels is negligible. | |
 basic attack | Scales Garrote and basic combo Fire DMG, the main source for building Burning Embers and triggering follow-up attacks. | |
 special attack | EX and normal Special variants trigger Binding Seal bursts and burn Embers; high usage makes it a solid secondary upgrade. | |
 core skill | Raises the CRIT Rate buff and Base ATK; core enhancements feed every damage rotation. | |
 chain attack | Chain Attack and Ultimate contain the strongest multipliers; leveling this is as important as Core Skill. |
