♦ Brief Introduction about Lighter ♦
Lighter is an Agent with the ability to Stun and provide Ice and Fire attribute boosts to the squad. In battle, Lighter's Morale gradually recovers over time and as any Agent in the squad consumes energy. Once it recovers to a certain point, when Lighter performs the fifth hit of Basic Attack, he enters a Morale Burst state, enhancing the power of certain abilities and his own Impact.

♦ Core Skill ♦
▶ Core Passive: Accelerant
Lighter automatically gains Morale over time, at a rate of 2.9 points per second. For each point of Energy consumed by any squad member, Lighter recovers an additional 0.26 Morale, up to a maximum of 100. When Morale reaches 80, the next time Lighter switches into battle he immediately launches a Quick Assist. Once Morale exceeds 80, executing the 5th hit of his Basic Attack puts Lighter in the Morale Burst state, enhancing the power of the startup light punch, jab combo, and the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack. When a skill hits an enemy with its power increased, it will continuously consume Morale. With every 10 points of Morale consumed, Lighter's Impact increases by 2%, up to a maximum increase of 20%, and lasting 6s.
In the Morale Burst state, Lighter will no longer automatically gain Morale over time. If his Morale is exhausted during a startup light punch or jab combo, he will automatically follow up with a more powerful Finishing Move.
In the Morale Burst state, when startup light punches or jab combos hit enemies, the target's Ice RES and Fire RES are reduced by 15%, lasting 30s.
In the Morale Burst state, when the Finishing Move hits an enemy, it applies the Collapse effect on the target, extending its Stunned duration by 3s. The Collapse effect can trigger only once on the same target before they recover from Stun.
When the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack hits an enemy, when he switches off field, or when his Morale runs out, Lighter will leave the Morale Burst state, keeping any unspent Morale.
▶ Additional Ability: Fighting Spirit
When another character in your squad is an Attack character or shares the same Faction:
When Lighter hits an enemy, the entire squad gains a stack of Elation, stacking up to 20 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. For each stack of Elation, an Agent's Ice DMG and Fire DMG increase by 0.96%. When Lighter's Impact increases, if it exceeds 150 points, for every additional 10 points of Impact, the buff provided by each stack of Elation is increased by an additional 0.17%. When any squad member enters battle through a Quick Assist, Perfect Assist, or Chain Attack, it refreshes the duration of Elation for all squad members. Elation can increase the Agent's Ice DMG and Fire DMG by up to 60%.
♦ Mindscape Cinema ♦

Among the debuffs imposed by Core Passive: Accelerant, the Collapse effect's duration increases by 5s, while further reducing Ice RES and Fire RES by 10%. The more powerful Finishing Move that follows when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted during a light punch or jab combo deals 30% increased DMG.
2. Red Scarf
When the effect of Collapse from Core Passive: Accelerant is triggered on enemies, the target's Stun DMG Multiplier increases by 25%. The increase to Ice DMG and Fire DMG provided by Elation from Additional Ability: Fighting Spirit increases to 125% of the original.
3. Mercenary Leader
[Basic Attack], [Dodge], [Assist], [Special Attack] and [Chain Attack] Lv. +2.

6. Survivor
When Lighter lands a heavy strike on enemies during a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, Special Attack, EX Special Attack, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, it will trigger the fire blast effect, dealing 240% of ATK as Fire DMG. This effect can trigger once every 8s. If Lighter's Impact exceeds 150 points, each additional point will further increase the multiplier of fire blast by 4%, up to a maximum increase of 480%. The more powerful Finishing Move that follows when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted during a light punch or jab combo will trigger an additional activation of Fire Blast when hitting an enemy, ignoring the effect's cooldown.
