Miyabi
Miyabi represents the pinnacle of current Ice Anomaly output, offering unmatched synergy with Disorder-based teams. Her ability to self-sustain Fallen Frost stacks and shred Ice Resistance makes her a core investment for any endgame account.
Miyabi operates as a high-mobility Anomaly carry who utilizes the 'Shimotsuki Stance' to unleash devastating Frost DMG. Her core mechanic centers on managing Fallen Frost points, which are generated through Searing Cold triggers and EX Special Attacks [L87, L127]. By consuming these points, she performs powerful charged slashes while gaining invulnerability during her execution.

Strengths
- High invulnerability uptime during Shimotsuki Stance
- Strong synergy with Disorder-focused team compositions
- Passive Ice Resistance reduction for squad damage output
- High baseline Anomaly application rate tied to CRIT scaling
- Consistent resource generation through EX Special Attacks
Weaknesses
- Dependent on Fallen Frost management to maximize DPS
- Cannot reapply Icefire state if Frostburn is active
- Requires careful rotation planning for Optimal Disorder triggers
- Stance mechanics can be interrupted if resource depleted
- Limited effectiveness if forced into non-Disorder team archetypes
Skill Priority
Primary Anomaly buildup.
EX generates resources and triggers passives.
Unlocks damage conversion.
Burst damage.
Negligible.
Stat Priority
Use EX Special Attack to generate Fallen Frost before entering Shimotsuki Stance to ensure max charge [L102, L127].
Prioritize triggering Frostburn - Break to maximize the Anomaly Buildup vulnerability window for the team.
Review and adjust rotations based on your specific team composition.

CRIT Rate
CRIT DMG increases by 50/57/65/72/80%. When using an EX Special Attack or when any squad member applies an Attribute Anomaly to an enemy, the equipper's Ice DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32%, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 15s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Why it works —Provides massive CRIT DMG and stacking Ice DMG bonuses tailored to her Anomaly triggers.
PEN Ratio
Increases ATK by 12/15/18/21/24%. When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25/31/37/43/50 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Why it works —Excellent source of Anomaly Proficiency and ATK% through consistent Special Attack use.

Anomaly Mastery
When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% and they deal an additional 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% more DMG to the target.
Why it works —Reliable damage amp against enemies suffering from any Attribute Anomaly.
Anomaly Proficiency
For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 2.5/2.8/3.2/3.6/4% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Why it works —F2P-friendly option that converts energy spending into significant ATK buffs.
Anomaly Proficiency
Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30/34/38/42/46, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

When Hoshimi Miyabi deals Frost DMG, she applies Icefire to the target, lasting 30s. When accumulating Frost Anomaly Buildup against targets with Icefire, increases Frost Anomaly Buildup Rate by 100% of Hoshimi Miyabi's CRIT Rate, up to a maximum increase of 80%. As Hoshimi Miyabi accumulates Frost Anomaly Buildup, it has its own independent Attribute Anomaly Buildup gauge and triggers Freeze, Shatter, and Frostbite that can react with other Attribute Anomalies, including Ice Attribute Anomaly, to trigger Disorder. When Hoshimi Miyabi applies Frostbite to enemies with Icefire, it will consume the Icefire to trigger Frostburn - Break, dealing Frost DMG equal to 750% of Hoshimi Miyabi's ATK and causing the target to enter the Frostburn state. All squad members accumulate 14% more Anomaly Buildup against enemies under the Frostburn state, but Hoshimi Miyabi cannot reapply Icefire to these enemies. The Frostburn state ends when Frostbite expires. While this state remains active, triggering another Attribute Anomaly will overwrite Frostbite and remove Frostburn. Upon triggering Frostburn - Break, Hoshimi Miyabi obtains 1 point of Fallen Frost. This effect can trigger once every 10s.
When another character in your squad is a Support character or shares the same faction: Basic Attack: Shimotsuki DMG increases by 60%.
