  • Cantarella Gameplay and Playstyle

Cantarella is a Havoc Rectifier user. Like Brant, Cantarella can heal the entire team while also serving as a powerful sub-DPS. She not only provides a damage-boosting buff to teammates but also deals considerable damage herself. Her main roles in the team include:

  • Coordinated Attacks: After using her Resonance Liberation, Cantarella inflict Diffusion on all Resonators in the team.  When characters with Diffusion deal damage, Cantarella performs a coordinated attack on the target. This is one of her primary ways to deal damage, allowing her to function as a sub-DPS without taking up too much of the main DPS's field time.
  • Team Healing: While in Mirage, Cantarella can consume Trance to accumulate Shivers, which will also restore HP for all team members. Additionally, when she accumulates 3 Shivers, consuming them will heal all nearby allies.
  • Damage Buffs: Cantarella’s Outro Skill can increase the incoming Resonator's Havoc DMG and Resonance Skill.
