| 2 |

| Drive Disc | Rating and Merits |
|---|---|
|
(4-pc) (2-pc) |
★★★ - Best Set! Yunkui Tales is Manato's best Drive Disc set for the HP and Sheer DMG. As for the 2pc. set, Branch and Blade Song or Woodpecker Electro is best, with the former being the better option as Manato can increase his own CRIT Rate. |
|
(4-pc) (2-pc) |
★★☆ - 2nd Best You can use a 2pc. Inferno Metal if you have better sub-stats for those pieces. |
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ | It's important to upgrade Manato's Core Skill first to increase the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG buffs. | |
| ★★★★★ | Manato's Basic Attack is very important to upgrade since he will be on-field for the most part. | |
| ★★★☆☆ | You can save Manato's Dodge for last since this contributes the least to his kit. | |
| ★★★★☆ | Upgrade Manato's Assist simply for the Defensive Assist and Assist Follow-Up damage. | |
| ★★★★★ | Most of Manato's damage will come from his Special Attack, so max this as soon as you can. | |
| ★★★★☆ | Manato's Ultimate deals a lot of damage, so upgrade this when you can. |

Deal Fire DMG with Manato's Basic Attacks by pressing the Special Attack button right after pressing the Normal Attack button once. To check if you have done it correctly, Manato's sword will ignite after he lands his kick.

The Molten Edge state is triggered once the bar under Manato's icon reaches a certain point. During this state, Manato will consistently deal Fire DMG with his Basic Attacks even without using the Special Attack button.
Additionally, if Manato's HP is at a certain percentage, he will consume his own HP to trigger his Core Passive, Sheer Force.

While in combat, Manato gains Sheer Force. At the same time, it consumes his HP over time, and it gets converted to all the Fire DMG dealt by his skills, which is also called Sheer DMG, while completely ignoring the enemy's defense.

Manato can restore HP if he gets hit while performing a Special Attack and when he performs an EX Special Attack. However, he will consume HP first before performing either of those attacks.
