Overview

New Generations utilize linked skills to fill three different support roles: Charge Attack enabler, debuffer, and healer. Furthermore, Magical BondsFirst hit of normal attacks boosts all allies' light ATK / Second hit of normal attacks lowers a foe's light DEF / Third hit of normal attacks deals bonus light DMG (Stackable / Can't be removed)
has a unique gimmick of granting a different effect during normal attacks based on hits dealt per turn—and because they have guaranteed Triple Attacks all three effects will always activate.

Strengths

• Guaranteed triple attacks ensures constant damage output, and guarantees all three effects from Magical BondsFirst hit of normal attacks boosts all allies' light ATK / Second hit of normal attacks lowers a foe's light DEF / Third hit of normal attacks deals bonus light DMG (Stackable / Can't be removed)
  .
• Grants party-wide Light ATK Up (Stackable)Light ATK is boosted (Stackable)
  through Magical BondsFirst hit of normal attacks boosts all allies' light ATK / Second hit of normal attacks lowers a foe's light DEF / Third hit of normal attacks deals bonus light DMG (Stackable / Can't be removed)
  , with a relatively low 2-turn downtime. (Its 2.5-turn duration is refreshed every turn until Magical Bonds' 3-turn duration ends, making its actual duration 5.5 turns.)
• Inflicts 5% Light DEF Down (Stackable)DEF is lowered for light DMG (Stackable)
  (Max: 20%) while Magical BondsFirst hit of normal attacks boosts all allies' light ATK / Second hit of normal attacks lowers a foe's light DEF / Third hit of normal attacks deals bonus light DMG (Stackable / Can't be removed)
  is in effect, which is a rare type of DEF Down that will help reach the 50% DEF Down cap.
• Fills three support roles depending on the linked skill used:
  •  Peaceful SmileAll allies gain Charge Bar +15%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 15%
    Strength: 15% and 20% Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
    Strength: 20%Duration: 1 turn .
    At level 55:

    Strength: 20% and 20% Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
    Strength: 20% to accelerate Charge Attack rate.
  • ColdcageCan't attack
    Local status effect from  Iolite Bloom400% Light damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~500,000).
    Inflict ColdcageCan't attack
    Base Accuracy: 70%Duration: 1-2 turnsLocal status effect. can prevent enemy attacks.
  • Sustains the party and clears debuffs with  Happiness StarRestore 20% of all allies' HP (Healing cap: 1500) and remove 1 debuff..
• Resets linked skills' cooldown on Charge Attack, allowing them to reuse their abilities sooner.
• Sabre and Gun proficiencies are popular picks for Atma/Ultima Weapon-based parties.

Weaknesses

• Lower charge bar gain hinders their Charge Attack rate.
• Due to linked skills, party can't gain multiple benefits in one turn without some form of skill cooldown reset (such as 3★  QilinDelta Massive Dark damage to all foes. End all allies' skill cooldowns.).

How to Play

• Immediately cast  Nagareboshi KisekiGain Magical BondsFirst hit of normal attacks boosts all allies' light ATK / Second hit of normal attacks lowers a foe's light DEF / Third hit of normal attacks deals bonus light DMG (Stackable / Can't be removed)
  Duration: 3 turns. at turn 1 to gain benefits from their normal attacks. To maximize the buffs and debuffs, the skill should be casted where they would not deal Charge Attack within 3 turns after the skill activates.
  • Later, the skill can be casted intentionally even if they would deal Charge Attack during that duration, to refresh the debuff duration.
• Cast  Peaceful SmileAll allies gain Charge Bar +15%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 15%
  Strength: 15% and 20% Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted

  Strength: 20%. to make party generates faster charge bar in one turn.
• Cast  Iolite Bloom400% Light damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~500,000).

• Cast  Happiness StarRestore 20% of all allies' HP (Healing cap: 1500) and remove 1 debuff. when party needs healing and debuff clearing.
• Place them at 4th position of main ally as they can constantly generates 25% charge bar for every triple attacks, which is slower for triple attacks. With proper party setup, assuming the party can reliably do triple attacks every turn, the party can deal Full Chain for every 3 turns.

Synergy

As they constantly deal triple attacks, any form of multiattack support is not recommended. Instead, what they need are:

• Any form of Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
  or Charge Bar +Instantly boosts Charge Bar by
  to quickly reset their linked skill cooldown
• Any buffs which would increase their output, such as Light ATK UpLight ATK is boosted
  , Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
  , and Supplemental DMGDMG dealt is supplemented

Priorities

Top priorities are Critical (3★ ×3), Light ATK (3★), and EMP Support Skill (3★) to boost their damage. Depending on how you use them, you can take any of these EMPs for the rest 3★:

• Charge Bar (1★ or 3★) to compensate their lower charge bar gain. Due to calculation rounding, leaving it at 2★ is not recommended without a consistent source of Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
  . (See Character Extended Mastery Perks.)
• Debuff Success Rate to increase ColdcageCan't attack
  Local status effect accuracy.
• Healing to increase their overall healing ability.
