Abilities[]
4 abilities increase Break Effect of characters:
| Character | Name | Description | Type | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Trailblazer (Harmony) |
Grants all allies the Backup Dancer effect, lasting for 3 turn(s). This duration reduces by 1 at the start of Trailblazer's every turn. Allies that have the Backup Dancer effect have their Break Effect increased by 15%—33%. And when they attack enemy targets that are in the Weakness Broken state, the Toughness Reduction of this attack will be converted into 1 instance of Super Break DMG. | Ultimate | Support | |
 Rappa |
Enters the "Sealform" state, immediately gains 1 extra turn, obtains 3 points of "Chroma Ink," and increases Weakness Break Efficiency by 50% and Break Effect by 10%—34%. While in the "Sealform" state, Basic ATK is enhanced, and Skill and Ultimate cannot be used. After using Enhanced Basic ATK, consumes 1 point of "Chroma Ink." When "Chroma Ink" is depleted, exits the "Sealform" state. |

| Trailblazer (Harmony) |
After the Technique is used, at the start of the next battle, all allies' Break Effect increases by 30%, lasting for 2 turn(s). | Technique | Support | |
 Fugue |
Grants one designated ally "Foxian Prayer". Enters the "Torrid Scorch" state, lasting for 3 turn(s). The duration reduces by 1 at the start of Fugue's every turn. "Foxian Prayer" only takes effect on the most recent target of Fugue's Skill. The ally target with "Foxian Prayer" increases their Break Effect by 15%—33% and can also reduce Toughness even when attacking enemies that don't have the corresponding Weakness Type, with the effect equivalent to 50% of the original Toughness Reduction value. This cannot stack with other Toughness Reduction effects that also ignore Weakness Type. While in the "Torrid Scorch" state, Fugue enhances her Basic ATK. Every time an ally target with "Foxian Prayer" attacks, Fugue has a 100% base chance to reduce the attacked enemy target's DEF by 8%—20%, lasting for 2 turn(s). |
