2. ⚔️ How to Use Kafka's Skills: A Complete Analysis of Combat Skill, Ultimate, and Follow-Up Attack

3. 🔄 Follow-Up Attack Stack Management: A Key Strategy for Efficient Damage Dealing
- ✅ Follow-up attack stacks are displayed next to the portrait, with 1 stack allowing for 1 follow-up attack.
- ✅ Stacks are recovered by 1 when Kafka's turn ends or when she uses her Ultimate, and can be stored up to 2 times.
- ⚠️ If the stacks are full when her turn ends or when she uses her Ultimate, excess stacks are lost, so managing stacks before use is important.

4. 🎯 Kafka's Versatility: Strategies for Responding to All Types of Enemies
- ✅ Kafka is a versatile character who can effectively respond to all types of enemies.
- ✅ She can be effective in various content by using her Ultimate against 5 enemies, her Combat Skill against 3 enemies, and her follow-up attack against 1 enemy.
- ✅ It is efficient to focus on using the Combat Skill or Ultimate's final damage against mobs, and to focus follow-up attacks on bosses or elite enemies.
- ✅ Kafka's Technique deals damage to all enemies and inflicts Shock upon entering battle, shortening the warm-up time for the DoT party.

5. ✨ Kafka Light Cone Recommendation: The Overwhelming Efficiency of 'Before the Tutorial Mission Starts'
- ✅ The 4-star Light Cone 'Before the Tutorial Mission Starts' is most efficient for Kafka.
- ✅ This is because the frequency of Ultimate usage and follow-up attacks has increased after the version 3.4 AS, making Energy Recharge more important.
- ✅ Prioritizing Energy Recharge through 'Before the Tutorial Mission Starts' is more effective for increasing damage than other Light Cones (including her signature Light Cone).
| Light Cone | Effect | Reason for Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Before the Tutorial Mission Starts | Increases Energy Regeneration | Maximizes Ultimate and follow-up attack usage |
| Signature Light Cone | Increases own damage | Second best option |
