Chaos Esper Reaction and Cycles

Esper Cycles are special effects caused by building Esper Meter on your characters during combat, and then switching to them to trigger Esper attacks. Chaining multiple of these will cause reactions between the elements, called an Esper Cycle.

Chaos has three reactions:

Chaos and Incantation - Causes the Scorch effect, dealing damage over time.
Chaos and Psyche - Causes the Nova effect, which will deal burst damage after a short period of time elapses.
Incantation + Chaos + Psyche - Discord: If the enemy is affected by both Scorch (Incantation+Chaos) and Nova (Chaos+Psyche) at the same time, they will take a massive amount of Stagger damage.

Scorch, Nova, and Discord

Certain characters can further boost the benefits of the effects caused by the Esper Cycle. For Chaos, these effects are Scorch, Nova, and Discord. Having the following characters in your team lets you buff those effects via their Support passives:

Scorch (Chaos+Incantation):
- Adler: Applies one of three random debuffs alongside Scorch: -20% ATK, -10% Esper Res, +10% Break Efficiency.
- Baicang: Applies a second stack of scorch when generating a Power Word (one of his abilities) on the enemy.
- Sakiri: Increases DoT taken by the enemy by 25% for each DoT they are affected by.
Nova (Chaos+Psyche):
- Fadia: Drains a percentage of enemy HP, based on Fadia's max HP, and instead grants it to her teammates.
- Haniel: Drains a percentage of enemy ATK, based on Haniel's base ATK, and instead grants it to her teammates.
- Aurelia: Causes 3 additional hits of Psyche damage after the Nova ends, based on her ATK.
Discord (Incantation+Chaos+Psyche)
- Daffodill: Further reduces the target's break cap by 10% for 30s, and can stack multiple times.
- Lacrimosa: Deals 400% of her ATK as bonus damage when triggering Discord against a target that is already broken.
