Notes
  • French Horn Fish is a fast, high-Magic Attack Water-type special attacker. Its trait [Overtone Series] applies [Noisy] to the enemy after using status skills, and combined with its rich selection of status skills, it can form interference and suppression.
  • Base stat distribution: HP 136 is high, Physical Attack 34 extremely low, Magic Attack 95 moderate, Physical Defense 95/Magic Defense 110 high, Speed 105 fast.
  • Skill pool features: various energy cost adjustment skills (Baptism, Salt Bath), buffing skill (Moisturize), weather skill (Rainfall), and core damage skill Water Cannon (can permanently reduce energy cost to stack power).
  • Key Mechanic: Water Cannon permanently reduces its Energy Cost by 1 with each use. Combined with Geyser (higher power at lower Energy Cost) and Salt Bath (Energy Cost -2/-3), this enables a high-burst late-game loop.
  • Provoke is a powerful disruption skill that increases other skills' energy cost by 3, and can trigger [Clamor] when used with its trait.
