Explanation

Quid Pro Quo provides decent base stats and randomly regenerates the Energy of an ally at the start of the wearer's turn. Note that Quid Pro Quo's ability only work on allies whose Energy is lower than 50%.

Quid Pro Quo's ability is very flexible since you'll almost always want your units to quickly charge their Ultimates in every scenario. With this, Quid Pro Quo is recommended for most Path of Abundance characters!

Is Quid Pro Quo Worth It?

Great for Most Abundance Characters

Quid Pro Quo can be bought from the Forgotten Hall's Light Cone Manifest Store, which makes it a great F2P pick for most Abundance characters.

Unlike the other Light Cones, Quid Pro Quo doesn't buff the wearer's healing capabilities. However, it provides some utility in combat since it randomly regenerates an ally's Energy.

We highly recommend buying Quid Pro Quo especially if you don't have the best in slot Light Cones for Abundance characters such as Time Waits for No One and Echoes of the Coffin!

Does anyone know what happens to the energy if Castorice/ Acheron / Feixao are on the team, does it avoid them and go to some that can take energy or just disappear
