Windsong — Review & Analysis
- Self-fuels her own crit: [Scale] (up to 15 stacks) plus Insight III's +10% Crit Rate & Crit DMG on entry mean she barely needs an external crit buffer.
- Incantation I converts overflow Crit Rate into Crit DMG — no wasted stats, rewarding heavy crit stacking.
- The Ultimate enters [Surveying] with no Moxie loss and re-casts Incantation I, creating a huge single-target burst window; [Obscurity] also shreds enemy Crit Resistance for the whole team.
- Star afflatus is countered by Plant (takes +30% DMG / weaker against Plant), so watch out for Plant-heavy lineups.
- She needs time to stack [Scale] and Moxie before erupting, so short fights or the opening rounds see modest output.
Level the Ultimate first to maximize the chained burst window, then Incantation I as the main single-target crit hit. Since she generates plenty of Crit Rate herself, pick Psychubes leaning toward Crit DMG / single-target damage amplification to cash in on the overflow-Crit-Rate-to-Crit-DMG conversion; pair her with crit-happy allies to feed extra [Scale] stacks.

Windsong — Skills & Incantations
Incantation I — Thus It Is Proven
Incantation “Insight II: 1-target attack. Gains Eureka +1 and deals 450% Mental DMG. Spend 2 Eureka to deal Mental DMG +150% and convert excess Critical Rate to Critical DMG for this attack.”
Incantation II — Pragmatism
Incantation “Insight II: Mass attack. Gains Eureka +1 and deals 285% Mental DMG to 2 enemies; gains 3 stacks of 【Preparation - Windsong】.”
Ultimate — An Even Longer While
Ultimate “Insight I: 1-target debuff. Inflicts 1 stack of 【Confusion】 on the target for 1 round; then enters the 【Mapping】 status for the round, gains Eureka +5, converts all own incantations to 【Rehabilitation】 of their matching rank, and casts them all if able.”
Insight Legacy
Incantation “Insight III: When entering battle, gain Critical Rate +10% and Critical DMG +10%. After casting an Ultimate, gain 1 stack of 【Preparation - Windsong】.”

Where to Get
Teams with Windsong
Windsong, Blonney and Kanjira all carry the Confusion tag — stacking Confusion on the same enemy makes it more likely to attack its own side, effectively removing it from the fight without needing to burst it down. La Source keeps everyone alive with Moxie + Heal while the debuff resolves. None of the four needs a Euphoria.
Teams →
Tooth Fairy, Matilda and Voyager all tap into Confusion together with Crit — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Name Day keeps the line-up alive with Heal so that payoff has time to land.
