Komano Manato's Strengths & Weaknesses
Has great weapon options and team synergy.
Strong DPS potential especially given Manato is a free A-Rank.

As an A-Rank, Manato can require a lot of investment to be comparable to S-Ranks.
Can feel very underwhelming without their M6.
Komano Manato's Core Passives
Manato gains extra Sheer Force based on his Max HP, with every 1 point of Max HP increasing Sheer Force by 0.1.
All Fire DMG Manato deals is Sheer DMG, ignoring enemy DEF and using his Sheer Force stat as the DMG Multiplier.
When Manato uses Special Attack: Return to Ashes - Sacrifice or a Defensive Assist, he accumulates Blazing Heart, up to a maximum of 100 points. At 75 Blazing Heart, Manato enters the Molten Edge state. While in the Molten Edge state, Manato consumes 3.3 Blazing Heart per second. When Blazing Heart is fully depleted, he exits Molten Edge.
While in the Molten Edge state, Manato's Basic Attacks are enhanced, and he can use EX Special Attack: Return to Ashes - Fall.
When consuming HP during Basic Attack: Blazing Wind - Misty Slash or during the consecutive slashes from an Assist Follow-Up, that attack's CRIT DMG increases by 50%, and the Adrenaline Generation Rate increases by 100%.
While in the Molten Edge state, Manato's CRIT Rate increases by 10%, and his Fire DMG increases by 20%.

Repeated triggers reset the duration. While launching Basic Attack: Blazing Wind - Misty Slash or during the consecutive slashes of an Assist Follow-Up, if his HP is below 100% of Max HP, one stack of Remnant Flame is consumed to restore 2% of his Max HP.
