2. 🛡️ Manato, the All-Arounder: Parry vs. Basic Attack, Situation-Based Selection Guide
- ✅ In practice, hold down the special skill to charge the gauge and counterattack simultaneously.

| Attack Type | Advantage | Disadvantage |
|---|---|---|
| Parry Attack | High Multiplier | Slow Energy Recovery |
| Basic Attack | Moderate Multiplier, Easy Energy Recovery | Lower Multiplier than Parry |
Consider the calculation for entering Groggy state and decide whether to recover energy with basic attacks or accumulate damage with parry attacks.

3. 🚀 Manato Combat Techniques: Basic Attack & Invincibility Effect Usage
- ✅ Manato's basic attack consists of 4 hits, and quick-swapping after the 4th hit is also a useful technique.
- ✅ There is an invincibility effect on the flurry after the 4th basic attack and parry.
- ✅ Since the final hit has a high multiplier, canceling the attack can cause a DPS loss.

4. 🩸 Core Mechanism: Maximizing Critical Damage Through HP Consumption

- ✅ HP is automatically consumed when casting skills when Manato's HP is 30% or higher.

6. ⚙️ Manato Optimal Settings Guide: Perfect Analysis of Disks, Engines, and Breakthroughs
- ✅ Use the Tale of Wind 4-piece set as a base, and choose Woodpecker or Song of Sword depending on which has better shield absorption.
- ✅ Fix the main options to critical hit, fire damage increase, and HP.
- ✅ It is recommended to set the critical hit rate close to 100%.
- ✅ A minimum of 2 breakthroughs is recommended.
| Category | Setting |
|---|---|
| Disk | Tale of Wind 4-piece set + Woodpecker/Song of Sword |
| Main Option | Critical Hit, Fire Damage Increase, HP |
| Engine | Anti-Evil Exclusive Engine (Next Version), Manato Exclusive Engine, Critical Hit Engine, Pass Engine |
The Anti-Evil exclusive engine to be added in the next version is recommended, and the Manato exclusive engine is used if used moderately. New users can consider the Cube of Transformation, which can be obtained for free. It is recommended to choose an engine that provides critical hit rate.

7. 🤝 Optimal Party Composition: Party Formation Strategies to Maximize Synergy
- ✅ It is recommended to use it with a limited S-class character (at least Lucia's Shade).
- ✅ If forming two light parties, configure Bynhyle for the S-class light party dealer and Lucia for Manato.
- ✅ Forming a party with 2 A-class and 1 S-class characters is cost-effective.
| Party Composition | Description |
|---|---|
| Lucia + Manato + @ | Easy to clear content such as Assault, CU, etc. |
| A-class 2 + S-class 1 | High Cost-Effectiveness |
Coleda is not a good choice due to insufficient buff amount, but can be considered if limited characters are lacking.
