Mint Build & Tier Rating

Mint is a B Tier A-Rank Anima/Liquid Esper whose main job is damage / main dps. Free story-unlocked Anima damage dealer. Decent early-game carry that falls off in late game but is great for progression. They work best as a budget or bridge option while you save materials for stronger long-term carries.

The rating is based on practical account value rather than raw damage alone: role compression, team fit, element coverage, and how expensive the character is to make useful. For Mint, the standout points are free from story, anima damage coverage, easy to max potential, good for early progression, low resource investment. Their free-to-play access makes that value easier to recommend for newer accounts.

In combat, Mint plays as a damage option with Anima element coverage and Liquid arc typing. Anima/Liquid-based attacks with straightforward damage. Skill deals moderate Anima damage in a line. Ultimate unleashes a charged Anima blast. Easy to max constellation. This makes them easiest to justify when your team already supports that damage type or needs the utility attached to their kit.

Recommended teammates are Nanally, Jiuyuan and Adler. If you do not own those exact characters, look for replacements that preserve the same jobs: a stable damage source, a way to amplify Anima output, and enough survival or control to keep rotations consistent. For ready-made examples, compare the best NTE teams.

Start with ATK% / Anima DMG / Crit Rate. ATK% / Anima DMG / Crit Rate. Standard DPS build, don't over-invest resources. 4-piece Anima set. Do not over-farm perfect substats before your core team has usable gear; a stable baseline build usually gives more account progress than chasing one ideal piece.

Prioritize Mint when your account needs a damage or when Anima coverage unlocks a better team shell. Based on vote trends, community sentiment is fairly balanced. Use that as a signal to test the character against your own roster instead of treating any tier placement as permanent.
