Mint
Bureau of Anomaly Control, CSU-2
Fast dual-blade A-Rank from CSU-2. Worth building if she is free/early and you need Anima field time — not worth chasing as a banner goal over S-Rank supports.
Mint is an A-Rank Anima duelist in Containment Strike Unit 2. Dual-blade tempo and Liquid Arc compatibility make her a flexible early Anima attacker.
