Mint (NTE): The A-Class You Will Definitely Own

Mint is the character new NTE accounts end up with whether they planned to or not — and that is a good thing.

Quick facts

Because every recent limited board lists Mint, Edgar and Adler as its A-Class rate-ups, pulling toward any S-Class guarantee also accumulates copies of her. That is the mechanical reason she is worth building: the resource you would otherwise spend chasing damage is already being spent.

Why she is worth the investment

• Cosmos Solid damage covers the same element as Esper Zero, Shinku, Hotori and Chiz — you will find teammates and Arc synergies easily
• She is on rate-up right now on both live boards, so duplicates are effectively free while you pull
• A-Class characters need far fewer Ascension materials to reach a usable state than an S-Class carry, which matters when the upgrade flow is your bottleneck

Our tier list places her at the top of the A-Class group: not a substitute for a limited S-Class carry, but the best of the characters you will own by default.

Mint outfits

Version 1.2 also put Mint-themed profile items in the Steam Points Shop (announced July 13) — a Steam profile cosmetic, not an in-game item.

How to use her

Treat Mint as your damage floor while you build toward a guarantee. Slot her with the free A-Rank support Haniel and whichever survival character you own — Fadia if you have her from the standard pool, otherwise Edgar or Adler from the same boards. That trio clears early anomaly commissions comfortably; see the best teams guide for the composition rules, and the Esper Cycle guide for why element spread beats stacking one element.

Once an S-Class carry lands — Zankou or the Nanally rerun are the current options — Mint slides into the second damage slot rather than becoming useless.
