· Overall evaluation of the new Nikke 'Mint's performance.
· In conclusion, she is not recommended for beginners (new users), and it's advised to consider her only if choosing based on appearance rather than performance.
· Mint is a Nikke who performs very well when used in specific combinations, especially with 'Snow White' or 'Awakened Snow White'.
· She is evaluated as a character who can be well utilized in 'all-in' decks (decks that concentrate investment on a specific Nikke).

· Compares and analyzes the damage of existing Snow White or Awakened Snow White combinations with combinations including Mint.
· The existing combinations were mainly used with Pilgrim Miranda, but it was confirmed that higher damage is achieved when combining Mint with Pilgrim Cheongdam.
· Without Mint, Pilgrim Cheongdam had the disadvantage of not being able to guarantee critical hits, but with Mint included, the critical hit rate increases to nearly 100%, raising the damage ceiling.
· This means Mint can compensate for the shortcomings of existing combinations and significantly improve overall damage output.

· A precaution when using Mint is that the 'Sunburst' skill should not be passed to the main dealer. When using Mint, it is recommended to pass the second burst.
· When combining Awakened Snow White and Mint, both shots critically hit, significantly increasing the damage ceiling compared to the existing Pilgrim Miranda combination.
· This means that both normal attacks and special attacks in sequential attacks can critically hit, leading to explosive damage.
· Such combinations have the potential to be fully utilized in Solo Raids and other content.

· Mint has potential for use with Snow White, Awakened Snow White, or in all-in combinations.
· Although the healing provided when not in a buffing phase is not high, it can effectively compensate for the lack of survivability that may occur in Solo Raids.
· Especially in situations like Tetra Tower where there aren't many good buffers, Mint's buff support capability can be a decent option.

· Mint is not 'overpowered' but is definitely a Nikke that can be used in Solo Raids.
· However, there are Nikkes that should be secured before Mint. Especially for beginners, it's recommended to get Eve and Red Hood first.
· Mint is a standard Nikke and can be obtained through selection tickets later, but Eve and Red Hood cannot.
· Currently, among the armor-piercing Nikkes, Red Hood and Eve play essential roles in clearing Solo Raids, so securing them first is important.

· Overload: Use solely for stat boosting without needing to acquire specific options.
· Skills: Skill 2 has higher value, so it's recommended to level it up first to maximize penetration damage and critical hit rate. Invest in Skill 1 and Burst Skill afterward.
· To properly utilize Snow White or Awakened Snow White, it is recommended to max out Skill 2 to level 10.
· Cube: Using the 'Recapture' cube is the most efficient.

· Mint is pretty, but there's no urgent need to pull for her right now, as the pickup period is sufficiently long.
· There might be synergy with the upcoming 'Fricka' Nikke, so it's advisable to decide on Mint's pickup after Fricka's performance is confirmed.
· Beginners are strongly advised to skip Mint's pickup and prioritize securing Eve and Red Hood, unless pulling for her appearance.
· Mint is a Nikke primarily for Solo Raids and may have limited utility in other content like stages.
