Koleda (S-Rank)

• Rating: ★★★ (Good)
• Effect: Core Passive: Knight's Resolve restores an additional 60 Adrenaline upon entering the battlefield. Hitting an EX Special Attack causes Starlight - Billy's attack DMG to ignore 18% Physical RES for 45s. Repeated triggers refresh the duration.
• This Mindscape provides Starlight - Billy with maximum Adrenaline upon entering battle. On top of that, it also gives him a solid 18% Physical RES shred.

• Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
• Effect: Increases the DMG dealt by Basic Attack: Full-Throttle Starlight, EX Special Attack: Cool Wheelie, and Ultimate: Starlight Knight Flying Kick by 50%.
  Activating EX Special Attack: Rocking Footwork, EX Special Attack: High-Traction Wheels, or hitting a Stunned enemy with Special Attack: Drive Suppression grants the Turbocharged effect: Special Attack: Drive Suppression consumes this effect to immediately follow up with EX Special Attack: Cool Wheelie, and increases that instance's CRIT DMG by 50%. Only 1 stack of Turbocharged can be held.
• Starlight - Billy's Mindscape 2 is easily his best Mindscape. The increased skill DMG, combined with the additional Crit DMG make for the most significant increase in his DMG output.

• Rating: ★★ (Good)
• Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
• Although this Mindscape only offers numerical skill level increases, it gives Starlight - Billy a considerable increase in his overall DMG.

• Rating: ★★ (Good)
• Effect: While in combat, each use of Special Attack: Drive Suppression increases his CRIT DMG by 8%, stacking up to 2 times, and lasting 45s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. If HP is below 35% and Starlight - Billy is not the active character, he continuously recovers HP up to 35%.
• This Mindscape doesn't matter much as its Crit DMG boost is minimal, and the HP recovery effect isn't too relevant if you're experienced at parrying and dodging.

• Rating: ★★ (Good)
• Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
• Identical to Starlight - Billy's Mindscape 3, only offering numerical skill level increases but is a pretty good upgrade in practice.

• Rating: ★★★★ (Great)
• Effect: Ultimate: Starlight Knight Flying Kick and Basic Attack: Full-Throttle Starlight Sheer DMG increases by 18%. Landing the 4th hit of Basic Attack: Knight's Technique, EX Special Attack: Cool Wheelie, or Chain Attack: Knight's Swagger grants 1 stack of Brilliant Starlight, stacking up to 6 times, and gaining at most 1 stack per skill use. When using Ultimate: Starlight Knight Flying Kick or Basic Attack: Full-Throttle Starlight, consumes up to 2 stacks, with each stack consumed causing that skill's final hit to deal 100% Sheer Force as additional Physical DMG.
• This Mindscape offers a great increase in Starlight - Billy's overall DMG thanks to its additional effects. If you play properly, you'll almost always have all 6 stacks of Brilliant Starlight when using his Ultimate, translating to an extra 600% of Sheer Force in Physical DMG for the final strike.
