Agent Mechanics Intro | Phoenix
Official preview of limited S-Rank Fire/Anomaly Agent Phoenix and her core passive.
This in-development guide does not announce a new banner schedule.
Official classification and team role
Phoenix is an S-rank Fire/Anomaly agent from Krampus’s Black Branch.
She builds Anomaly quickly and enables critical Anomaly damage for the team.
Official example teams pair Phoenix and Velina with either Remielle or Yuzuha.
She is limited and does not join the standard Star-Studded Cast channel.
Core passive and combat resource
Nirvana increases Phoenix’s Anomaly Proficiency and marks enemies when allies deal Anomaly damage.
Anomaly damage against marked enemies can crit; Phoenix’s Anomaly Mastery increases that chance.
Another Anomaly or same-faction ally increases the resulting critical damage.
Oxidation attacks, including basic hits 3/4 and EX specials, or Perfect Guard build her resource to 120 points.
Basic and special attacks
With enough resource, hold Basic Attack for the special sequence.
Its finisher on an anomalous enemy triggers extra Anomaly damage, with an additional critical bonus.
With energy, tap Special for the initial EX attack, then tap/hold for its follow-up.
Timed hits or striking a warned enemy can trigger Perfect Guard; afterward chain into basic hit 3.
The follow-up grants one enhancement point for the next special.
Ultimate and survival
The Ultimate consumes all Phoenix’s HP for Fire damage and enters exhaustion.
A following Basic Attack or switch-in uses an ember follow-up that deals nearby Fire damage and restores HP over time; its finisher can trigger the extra Anomaly effect.
Fatal damage can also trigger revival and partial HP recovery on returning, limited to once within a stated interval whose exact duration is not printed here.
Recommended W-Engine and stat basis
The official recommended Anomaly W-Engine is First Feather of Nirvana (translated title).
At level 60 and one star, the image gives 713 base ATK and 30% Anomaly Mastery.
It increases Anomaly Proficiency and boosts the wearer’s Fire damage when party Anomaly damage crits, refreshing the duration on retrigger.
Only Anomaly agents receive the effect; this limited S-rank engine does not enter the standard channel.
These preview values defer to release.
Source and translation basis
This summary was checked directly against the Korean official notice images.
English, Japanese and Chinese detail text is translated from that Korean source, rather than quoted official localized wording.
Character names retain previously verified official localizations.
