character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 assist | Priority 6: Assist provides utility Daze and follow-up potential but has limited impact on overall Ether DMG compared to Core/Ultimate synergy. | |
 dodge | Priority 5: Dodge and Counter are survivability-focused, providing invulnerability and minor Ether DMG; can be upgraded at leisure as they're not urgent. | |
 special attack | Priority 4: Special Attack is an essential kit component, delivering key Ether DMG and enabling Solar Prominence generation for follow-up hits. | |
 basic attack | Priority 3: Basic Attack is Pyrois' main Ether DMG source, heavily buffed by Ultimate effects and Solar Prominence, forming the core damage cycle. | |
 chain attack | Priority 2: Chain Attack is the second-highest priority, unlocking Pyrois' 4 Ultimates based on situational Decibel and Solar Prominence, directly tying into ultimate states. | |
 core skill | Priority 1: Core Skill grants foundational upgrades to all 4 Ultimates and governs Solar Prominence, directly boosting Ether DMG and Stunned enemy damage. |
