Overview

Before his 5★ uncap, Vane is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none; defensively, he boosts his own hostility at the cost of his own HP, but can mitigate some of the HP loss through self-healing. His damage skyrockets when he has Soul EruptionATK, DEF, multiattack rate, and other stats are boosted (Can't be removed)
, but is rather standard otherwise. He also inflicts ATK debuffs on the enemy, but other than that, he provides little utility.

After his 5★ uncap, Vane becomes a nigh-unkillable powerhouse who takes hits for the whole team and dishes back damage whenever the enemy dares to use a special attack. His self-healing becomes much stronger and much more frequent, and he also removes debuffs from himself while extending his buffs.

  Duration: 1 turn . is all that's needed to activate this skill, provided Vane's health is not affected too much by damage or healing.
- The skill has a very long cooldown, so you may not always want to use it at first opportunity.

Party Position

Ideally, you want Vane in 4th position so he can gain charge bar from other party members' charge attacks and gain any C.A. buffs they might give before attacking. However, if playing with a character with even lower charge bar gain and no party buffs on C.A., Vane can be moved to 3rd position as letting Vane get hit often will also build charge bar.

One-Turn Kill Teams

The Dragon WithinWhen a foe uses a special attack: Activate Heroic Beat. Extend Vane's buff durations by 1 turn. (Excludes 1-turn buffs.) makes Vane a handy asset in OTK teams. Because most bosses have 25% HP triggers, his auto skill activation when an enemy uses a special attack is all but guaranteed, giving you some extra damage at the end of the turn if your grid isn't quite strong enough to OTK before the enemy phase.

Priorities

Prioritize C.A. DMG and C.A. DMG Cap, then Critical. Follow up with a point in each of the DEF nodes.

Consider DEF, HP, and Fire DMG Lowered if you want to increase Vane's durability. Vane can easily lose HP if you use his second skill often, so his Extended Mastery Support Skill can help him survive in those situations.

Because Water is an element that has many ways of recovering HP, and because Vane can heal himself too with

, stacking health can allow him to more easily get to or remain in red health to activate

. Being able to effectively stay under the 50% health threshold would also mean that his

is active more often.

Priorities

Prioritize Critical, followed by CA DMG Cap, then his support EMP. After, take 2 points into HP nodes and round it out with DEF. If using

Perpetuity Ring, max out the HP and DEF nodes, then put the remaining point into CA DMG or Fire Damage Down, depending on needs.
