Cantarella Build Guide

What to know before spending pulls

Her base kit already contains the healing, Dreamweaver attacks, Hazy Dream control, and a Havoc plus Resonance Skill handoff through Outro. She works best when the next damage dealer uses those two bonuses. Build enough Trance before entering Mirage, because Mirage ends when Trance is depleted and each Phantom Sting hit consumes one point.

Do you need the signature weapon?

Whispers of Sirens is Cantarella's featured weapon. At level 90 it has 500 ATK and 72% Crit DMG. After Intro or a Basic Attack, differently named Echo Skills can build two Gentle Dream stacks. One stack grants 40% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, while two stacks also let her Basic Attack damage ignore 12% Havoc RES. Fusion Accretion is the listed 4-star alternative with 463 ATK and 18.2% ATK. Its Resonance Skill restores 6 Resonance Energy and grants 10% ATK for 16 seconds, once every 20 seconds. The featured weapon has the stronger Mirage damage package; Fusion Accretion uses a button already present in every cycle and helps fund Liberation.

Another character copy or the weapon?

S1 means Cantarella's first Resonance Chain upgrade. Graceful Step restores one Trance, several Skill forms gain 50% higher multipliers, and Perception Drain becomes harder to interrupt. Whispers of Sirens instead adds Crit DMG and Basic Attack bonuses that reward using differently named Echo Skills. S1 makes the Mirage loop easier to enter and improves specific actions, while the weapon improves the Phantom Sting attacks that spend most of the Mirage window. Her full Trance, Shiver, healing, and Dreamweaver loop works at S0.

Advice for your account

Easy rotation

Enter with Intro to gain one Trance, then follow its normal attack into Basic Attack Stage 3 for another point. Cast Graceful Step for one Trance and use Liberation for three, up to the five-point limit. Hold Normal Attack for Delusive Dive and enter Mirage. Land three Phantom Sting hits to consume three Trance, gain three Shiver, and heal the team. Cast Perception Drain to spend the Shiver, heal again, and inflict Hazy Dream. Use the remaining Mirage attacks, then leave through Outro into a Havoc or Resonance Skill damage dealer while Diffusion's Dreamweaver attacks continue off-field.

Opening vs. repeat cycles

Intro makes the opener faster because it grants Trance and routes directly to Basic Attack Stage 3. Later cycles without Intro need another Stage 3, Graceful Step, or Liberation to replace that point. Liberation grants three Trance but does not enter Mirage at S0, so Delusive Dive is still required after the gauge is prepared.

Why this skill priority

Forte Circuit and Liberation lead because they contain Mirage, Phantom Sting, Shiver, Perception Drain, team healing, Diffusion, and Dreamweaver. Resonance Skill follows because Graceful Step builds Trance and its Mirage form applies Hazy Dream. Basic Attack matters for Delusive Dive, Stage 3 Trance, and the Mirage attacks, but its main empowered effects are defined by the Forte.

Required buffs and assumptions

The fast sequence assumes Intro and Liberation are ready. Dreamweaver also requires the active character to deal damage and can trigger only once per second, up to 21 times during Diffusion. Hazy Dream is removed when another Resonator directly attacks the target, but that attack does not trigger Cantarella's Jolt, so use Cantarella's own damage first when the Jolt matters.

Energy Regen target

No minimum Energy Regen target is listed in the current build data. Liberation supplies three of Cantarella's five possible Trance points and enables the off-field Dreamweaver attacks, so missed Liberation casts slow both her Mirage setup and team contribution. Fusion Accretion can restore 6 Resonance Energy after Graceful Step once every 20 seconds.
