character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Dodge Counter can chain into Celestial Light, but overall DPS increase is small – level after core skills. | |
 assist | Defensive Assist and follow-ups deal Daze and enable combos, but their impact is secondary. | |
 core skill | Upgrade first – Core Skill empowers every Ultimate branch and adds up to 14.4% CRIT Rate. | |
 basic attack | Celestial Light is the main damage source; it consumes Solar Prominence and deals massive Ether DMG. | |
 special attack | EX Special Attack is critical for Energy gain, Perfect Blocks, and generating Solar Prominence – keep it maxed. | |
 chain attack | All four Ultimate branches are here – massive Ether burst – raise right after Core Skill. |
