"Proxies are like... our 'kindred spirits.' Just like four-leaf clovers and canola flowers."

"While Seed Sr. was asleep, I made quite a few modifications to him."

"I think... I gave him stealth capabilities in the latest update."

"How did I do it, you ask? I just made some adjustments and tweaks by feel."

Seed's Strengths & Weaknesses

V Strengths

  • +Powerful Electric DPS Agent.

  • +Allows you to utilise older Attack Agents that you may not play any more.

Seed's Core Passives

Core Passive: Flower Chain Protocol
Lv. 7

The Attack teammate with the highest initial ATK is considered Seed's Vanguard.
When the Vanguard unleashes an EX Special Attack, Seed gains Onslaught status, increasing Seed's ATK by 1000 and CRIT DMG by 30%. When Seed unleashes an EX Special Attack, the Vanguard gains Direct Strike status, increasing the Vanguard's ATK by 1000 and CRIT DMG by 30%.
When Direct Strike and Onslaught are both active, Seed and the Vanguard simultaneously gain Besiege status, increasing DMG dealt by 25%.
Onslaught, Direct Strike, and Besiege buffs can all take effect when the character is the current active character. When switching to inactive, the buffs remain until the character goes off-field or 3s after the switch. When the character returns to being the active character, the buffs re-activate.
Upon entering the battlefield with a Vanguard, Seed immediately gains Onslaught status and Besiege status, while the Vanguard immediately gains Direct Strike status and Besiege status.
Direct Strike and Onslaught status last for 40s, and repeated triggers refresh the duration.
When the Vanguard consumes Energy as the active character or when Seed consumes Energy, for every 1 point of Energy consumed, Seed recovers 0.5 points of Steel Charge.

Additional Ability: Surprise Strike

When another Attack Character is in your squad:
When Seed deals DMG as the active character, restore 2 Energy to the Vanguard. This effect can trigger once every 1s.
Seed's Basic Attack: Falling Petals - Slaughter, Basic Attack: Falling Petals - Downfall, and Ultimate: Clockwork Garden - Bloom! deal 30% increased DMG and ignore 25% of enemy Electric RES.
