Arcana Explained

Arcana Gives Stat Boosts For Awakening Characters

As you play MementoMori and unlock more witches, you'll soon start awakening the ones you like. But, if you awaken specific witches, you'll unlock Arcanas that give various stat boosts depending on who you awakened.

For example, if you get Fortina and Olivia, you'll unlock the Arcana "Mimosa's Embrace", which grants a DEF buff based on your character's level multiplied by 5. Getting both of them to UR rarity will increase the multiplier to 15 and add a 5 percent HP boost, while getting them to LR rarity spreads these effects to all your characters.

If you awaken the right characters, you can give all your witches good stat advantages in all their fights.

List of Arcana

Best Arcanas To Unlock

Monoceros' Roar

Effects

Characters Needed

Sabrina

Amour

Ivy

Nina

The Monoceros' Roar arcana gives a 5,000 ATK stat boost and a 15% CRIT DMG boost for all your characters once you get Sabrina, Amour, Ivy, and Nina to LR rarity. While Nina would be useful in PvP, the other three witches might not be a priority for you to awaken, so it'll take quite some time before you unlock the full effects of this Arcana.

Pyxis's Ferocity

Effects

Characters Needed

Tainted Iris

Ivy

Pyxis's Ferocity is an alternative arcana you can aim for if you want a CRIT DMG Boost as soon as possible. However, you will have to awaken Ivy and Tainted Iris - both limited SR characters.

Chamaeleon's Quelling

Effects

Characters Needed

Fenny

Dian

For defensive arcanas, you can look into unlocking Chamaeleon's Quelling, which grants boosts with both Accuracy and CRIT RES. However, like with Pyxis's Ferocity, you'll have to awaken a limited SR character - in this case, Fenny.

Gemini's Wings

Effects

Characters Needed

Freesia

Rean

Dian

This arcana is one of the easier ones to awaken all the way to LR because all three units are regular base SR rarity units that aren't locked behind limited gacha banners. At LR, all your units will gain 1500 EVD and 1.00% more DEF. Having more EVD is always good, as evading attacks essentially wastes an opponent's turn. If you find that you have an abundance of Crimson fodder to spare for Awakening, look to acquire this Arcana and give your units a nice defensive boost.

Gilsania's Insanity

Effects

Characters Needed

Liselotte

Florence

This Arcana boosts two of the most important offensive stats in the game, PM. DEF Break and ATK. What's more is that Florence, one of the best offensive witches in the game, is in the Arcana group, meaning she can reap the full strength of this Arcana at only UR. It's worth noting that Liselotte can be pretty tough to come by as a limited unit. Even if you don't like her character or her kit, consider still pulling for her for this Arcana.

Aquarius' Comet

Effects

Characters Needed

Rusalka

Primavera

PM. DEF Break is one the game's most impactful and sought-after stats, Rusalka is one of the most popular limited units, and Primavera is one of the most useful supports in the game. All aspects of this Arcana is good from the characters to its effects. Both these units are well worth upgrading to LR, so you might as well get the bonus PMDB from this Arcana as well.
