Rei Kamiya（神矢伶）

LightProtagonist / All-Rounder

Weapon: Soul Device — Twin Blades

Transfer student who awakens as a Qualified One at Hirasaka Academy. Rei wields dual Soul Device blades with balanced speed and power, making him the most flexible character in any party. His Secret Combo ('Hi-Rengki' / 秘連撃) deals massive AoE light-element damage. Best used as your primary frontline fighter.

💡 Build Tip: Prioritize Attack Up and Link Gauge efficiency nodes on the Soul Board. Rei's versatility means you can build him for DPS or hybrid support — focus on one direction rather than splitting points.

Chinatsu Momoki（百鬼千奈）

FireHeroine / Burst Mage

Weapon: Soul Device — War Fan

Senior student with a playful, mature personality. Chinatsu's War Fan Soul Device delivers devastating fire-element area attacks. Her Secret Combo is one of the highest-damage ultimates in the game — ideal for boss burst phases. Slightly fragile; pair with a tank or keep her mobile.

💡 Build Tip: Invest in SP regeneration nodes. Chinatsu burns through SP quickly but rewards aggressive play. Elemental affinity boosts on the Soul Board significantly increase her fire damage output.

Fuka（楓華）

WaterSupport / Healer

Weapon: Soul Device — Staff

A calm and reliable presence in the party. Fuka's water-element staff provides healing, party-wide buffs, and defensive utility. Her Soul Accel extends buff duration for the entire party — activate it before boss fights for a significant advantage.

💡 Build Tip: Focus on HP Up and support skill nodes early. Fuka doesn't need high attack investment — survivability and buff efficiency matter more. Her wall-jump unlock on the Soul Board is essential for labyrinth exploration.

Rurui（露露伊）

WindSpeed / Harasser

Weapon: Soul Device — Dual Pistols

Quick and elusive ranged fighter. Rurui's dual pistols pepper enemies from a distance with wind-element shots, applying debuffs and interrupting enemy attacks. Her mobility is unmatched — she can dodge-cancel out of any animation, making her nearly untouchable in skilled hands.

💡 Build Tip: Invest in the 'Flash Counter' (一闪) mastery nodes. Rurui benefits enormously from perfect guards and parries due to her speed. Ranged builds should prioritize ammo capacity and elemental effect chance.

🧩 Elemental Affinity System

Each character carries a Shikirei Talisman (式霊符) that determines their elemental affinity. Elements follow a rock-paper-scissors counter system:

🔥 Fire

Strong vs Wind
Weak vs Water

💧 Water

Strong vs Fire
Weak vs Wind

🌪️ Wind

Strong vs Water
Weak vs Fire

✨ Light

Strong vs Dark
Weak vs Dark

Talismans drop from elite dungeon bosses. Each boss victory offers three choices: acquire a new talisman, enhance an existing one, or extract a fresh modifier for later use.
