- Pull targets are editorial — weigh against your account needs and limited banner plans.
Skill Priority
Ensemble / melody beat that carries her team ATK identity.
Gugu summon and guardian Skill — main support button.
Aura and bond rules that keep the ATK buff honest.
Field filler — lowest priority on a pure support.

Darkstar Enhancement: when Darkstar ends, the team drains ATK from the target based on Haniel’s base ATK. Ensembles grant Protagonist Aura stacks (2 while in Super Esper Ace), raising Super Esper Magic Cannon bounce count (up to 4 stacks this way).
