Corin
Corin is a powerful physical attacker that excels at single-target sustained damage. She is best suited for players needing a dedicated main DPS for physical-weak content who can capitalize on long attack windows.
Corin specializes in continuous, high-output chainsaw slashes that can be extended through repeated button inputs. Her core mechanics revolve around maximizing damage during enemy stun windows, supported by her significant damage reduction and anti-interrupt capabilities while executing her complex chain of slashes. Her playstyle rewards precise timing to unleash her full DPS potential while staying protected through her innate damage reduction buffs.

CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT Rate by 15/17/19/21/23%. When the equipper deals DMG with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's Electric DMG by 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20%, up to 2 stacks. Each stack lasts 40s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Can trigger once per use of a skill. At 2 stacks, the wearer's Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20/23/26/29/32% of enemy DEF.
Why it works —Cordis Germina provides essential CRIT Rate and DEF penetration on basics, maximizing her slash damage [L151, L155].
CRIT Rate
CRIT DMG increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
CRIT Rate
Increases Physical DMG by 20/25/30/35/40%. The equipper's DMG increases by 25/31.5/38/44/50% when attacking the enemy from behind.
Why it works —Steel Cushion is tailor-made for physical DPS with bonus physical damage and massive multipliers for backstabbing [L169, L173].
CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT DMG by 45/51.75/58.5/65.25/72%. When using an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate to deal Ice DMG, the equipper gains the Absolute Zero Death Sentence effect for 3s. While Absolute Zero Death Sentence is active, the character ignores 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% of the enemy's DEF when landing a hit.

Energy Regen
While off-field, Energy Regen increases by 0.45/0.52/0.58/0.65/0.72 per second. When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 3/3.5/4/4.4/4.8%, stacking up to 15 times and lasting 1s. Retriggering refreshes duration.
Why it works —Housekeeper is a strong accessible option providing energy regen and stackable physical damage [L187, L191].
ATK%
Launching a Dodge Counter or Quick Assist increases the equipper's ATK by 12/13.8/15.6/17.4/19.2% for 12s.
Why it works —Starlight Engine is the best F2P choice, rewarding active playstyles like dodging or quick assists with ATK buffs [L196, L200].
