NTE Mint build v1.2 — Arcs, modules, teams

Mint in 30 seconds

A solid entry-level DPS with a fun dodge-counter rhythm, but an A-rank with a low ceiling. Good to use early on, later giving way to an S-rank DPS.

★★★ 3/5

Current for v1.2 · updated 2026-07-10

Best Mint build

Role

Main DPS (on-field). A multi-hit melee Anima character built around Critical Riposte (a counterattack after a perfect dodge) to reset her skill cooldown; her Redirect 'Ultimate: Super Claws' has only a 6s cooldown, requiring long on-field time.

Community lists place Mint in the B group: a beginner-friendly main DPS built on a dodge-riposte rhythm, but with a damage ceiling below the S-DPS and a need for long on-field time.

Best Arcs (ranked)

1Clear Skies BiS A-rank option: increases Anima DMG for Mint's Skill and Ultimate (class TWO).
2Fluff of Fleetness BiS S-rank: high Base ATK plus a 44% CRIT DMG substat, raising Mint's crit ceiling. Class TWO matches.
3Mind Royale An A-rank alternative pick, same class TWO.

Best module sets

4-pc Fireflies and the Forest Anima DMG +10% and raises CRIT DMG every time Anima DMG is dealt; Mint's multi-hit basic attacks stack this to max almost instantly.
4-pc Shadow Creed An ATK +10% branch for when you want a stable raw-attack foundation.

Stat priority

Main stats: ATK% › CRIT DMG › Anima DMG

Substats: CRIT DMG › CRIT Rate › ATK%

Verdict confidence: medium — her main-DPS role + arc/set are consistent between Western and Japanese tier lists; the riposte-reset playstyle is confirmed, but no source commits to a numeric tier.

Combat Rotation — Mint

Chain Basic Attack: Perfect Containment (up to 5 hits), hold to shift into Minty Whirlwind (continuous spin draining Stamina, dealing AoE damage).
Cast Skill "Ultimate: Super Claws" (an official name quirk — it's actually her Skill slot) to dash forward then back, dealing 2 AoE hits along the path.
Slot in QTE "Ultimate: Invincible Tornado Slash" whenever available — charges then leaps to pierce through enemies.
Use Ultimate: Thunderous Whirlwind Slash once energy is full — channels wind into her dual blades for multiple AoE hits, finishing with a massive AoE hit.
Loop the rotation, continuing Perfect Containment/Minty Whirlwind while skills are on cooldown.

The game officially prefixes both Mint's Skill and QTE with 'Ultimate:' (not a translation error) — the actual energy-gated Ultimate is still Thunderous Whirlwind Slash.
