Ezra Theodore — Review & Analysis
Ezra Theodore is a Star-Afflatus hybrid whose damage scales off Max HP rather than ATK, letting him nuke while staying extremely durable. His kit revolves around planting mushrooms that mature into [Vulnerable] on enemies and Shield/[Discernment] support for allies, so he plays as a bruiser sub-DPS and a team amplifier at once. His Ultimate force-matures every mushroom instantly, delivering a wide burst of [Vulnerable] plus Moxie and Passion to the team.
- Max-HP scaling: both his Mental damage and the bonus Primordial damage are based on Max HP, so a tanky build still hits hard.
- Strong team amplifier: his mushrooms and Ultimate stack [Vulnerable] on all enemies, raising the whole team's outgoing damage.
- Excellent self-sustain: allied shields, per-mushroom self-healing, and a flat 8% damage reduction keep him alive with little investment.
- As a Star Afflatus he is countered by Plant, taking a damage disadvantage against Plant enemies.
- Mushrooms need three growth cycles to mature, so his [Vulnerable] and payoff ramp up slowly unless he spends the Ultimate to force them.
Level the Ultimate and the first Incantation (Honey Fungus/[Vulnerable]) first for a core that both deals damage and applies the debuff; raise the second Incantation (Shield) next if you lean support. Since both his damage and healing scale off Max HP, prioritize HP-boosting Psychubes (with a little crit to exploit his critable Primordial damage and healing); for a more supportive build, pick healing- or shield-oriented Psychubes.

Euphoria
Branch 1
At the start of the round, if not under a [Pulsing Field] of any level, deploy [Pulsing Field Lv.1]. After an ally takes an action, they gain 10 stacks of [Dynamo]. At the end of the round, transfer up to 20 stacks of [Dynamo] into the [Pulsing Field].
At the start of each round, plant 1 [Honey Fungus] and 1 [Ghost Fungus].
When entering battle, gain 10 stacks of [Dynamo].
Branch 2
Whenever an ally loses HP, accumulate points of [Bloodtithe]. The ultimate no longer grants Eureka to other allies, and instead grants 6 points of [Bloodtithe]. At the end of the round, if [Bloodtithe] is at 5 or higher, for every 1 mushroom, recover (the target's Missing HP x8%) HP to other allies, this effect can critically hit.
When casting a basic incantation, if the mushrooms are maxed out, consume an additional 10% Current HP from all allies to grow all mushrooms 1 time. This unit gains Healing Taken +20%.
When a mushroom matures, accumulate 1 point of [Bloodtithe] and recover (the target's Missing HP x20%) HP to all allies, this effect can critically hit. At the start of the round, if [Bloodtithe] is at 15 or higher, consume 1 point of [Bloodtithe] and recover (the target's Missing HP x20%) HP to all allies.

Where to Get
Teams with Ezra Theodore
Melania and Regulus both key off Moxie and Ultimate — the faster Moxie fills, the more often their Ultimates fire. Vila carries the same Moxie/Ultimate tag and adds Heal + Sturdy so the chain never stalls. Rubuska closes the loop with a Moxie-tagged heal that keeps everyone topped up between Ults.
Teams →
Anjo Nala, Recoleta and Cornerstone all tap into Ultimate together with Moxie — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Ezra Theodore keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.
