New Year's Rino

New Year's Rino Character Reference

Do imoutos understand abuse? Even if they could, Rino might have too much brain damage for that. She also forgot she's supposed to be Physical, and somehow ended up on the relatively new Light Mage Multi-Target lineup instead.

New Year's Rino, like her other alts, has an affinity for Crits. She gains extra effects on all of her skills when she has a Magic Critical Buff, and she deals extra Damage than normal when she Crits (4x this time) in exchange for very low base Damage. Some of you might have noticed her EX Skill gives a Magic Critical Buff at the start of the Battle. Unfortunately, this Buff doesn't count; you'll need to give her another one after the start of the Battle to gain her extra effects.

She provides basically all the Buffs. Notably, she has Continuous TP Recovery on S1, but only after she has received a Magic Critical Buff. If you can turbo out a Magic Critical Buff (you can with S.Anemone and Uzuki's first Action TP), New Year's Rino can start providing you with TP on her second Action. The other extra effects from having a Magic Critical Buff are a 3% Magic Damage Buff on UB and a second Damage Calculation on S2.

Light Multi-Target Mages are kind of fully formed now, with DP.Maho, S.Anemone, Uzuki, and Kururu filling out the remaining spots on the team. New Year's Rino looks like she's going to have some pretty nice synergies with the other members of this lineup.

• DP.Maho
  • +15% Magic Critical Damage on UB
  • +10% Magic Critical Damage on S1+
  • TP Boost
• Kururu
  • +15% Magic Critical Damage on UB after 40 stacks
• S.Anemone
  • TP on first Action
• Uzuki
  • TP on first Action
  • TP Boost

Hopefully pulling New Year's Rino let's you form the Light Mage Multi-Target team. If you can't, you can at least take solace in the fact that Multi-Target is used less often than Single-Target.

• Limited

Pros:

• Completes Light Mage Multi-Target
• 4x Damage on Crit
• Bonds give HP

Cons:

• Very Crit-dependent
  • Bosses that are much higher level than you will cause her Damage output to be inconsistent (relevant for CB)
• Not relevant for Single-Target

Recommendation: Medium priority. Light Mage Multi-Target core, but she isn't suitable for Single-Target. Multi-Target is less critical than Single-Target, so that would affect her priority a bit. Plan accordingly Uzuki skippers - I'm not sure if she'll have another rerun.
