character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Dash Attack and Dodge Counter are rarely activated, making this skill largely unnecessary. | |
 special attack | Direct damage increases only; low ceiling since no mechanic synergy beyond raw DMG + daze. | |
 chain attack | Raw damage boosts with no meaningful synergies beyond chain into EX Special Attack. Save these picks for late-game once Anomaly Proficiency and Stun are adequate. | |
 basic attack | Non-damaging until M6 unlocks; upgrade only if you value Unleashing the Finishing Move's teammate call-in mechanic. | |
 assist | Defensive Assist - Thundershield parries and deals Stun, justifying priority over other skills. | |
 core skill | Builds ATK buff indirectly via Anomaly Proficiency and the Shield of Firm Resolve teamwide buff from EX Special Attack. Core upgrade also adds Base Energy Regen +0.12/s, which supports sustained play. |
