Mindscape Cinema

01

Drifter's Rules of Survival

Unfortunate children are all alike.
The once-kind voices, the warm lights, the joyful promises... all vanished without a farewell. Being formless, even the sharpest fangs could not hold them, nor the sharpest claws grasp them.
"I can eat just about anything, and I'm not too afraid of the cold — if there's a 'secret to surviving,' maybe it's just that."

Whenever Manato loses HP, the amount of HP lost is tallied. Each 1% of his Max HP tallied increases the Fire DMG of Assist Follow-Ups and Basic Attacks by 0.4%, up to a max of 20%.

02

Day & Night, Kitchen & Love

Perhaps this is what a peaceful family is — Manato, A-Cing, and A-Yuet all think of themselves as the fortunate "child picked up and brought home."
If there's anything left worth arguing about, it's probably just "who should eat the last bit of vegetables."
"It doesn't taste good? I'll ask at Yum Cha Sin if maybe I made a mistake somewhere..."
"...Trade secret?! But last time... I just stood there and the chef told me everything."

While in the Molten Edge state, Manato ignores 8% of a target's Fire RES.
After being hit by an enemy while using Special Attack: Return to Ashes or Special Attack: Return to Ashes - Sacrifice, press

to trigger an Assist Follow-Up.

03

Enter the Realm of Urban Legends

Getting established on a forum starts with a memorable nickname — everyone thinks they're bad at it, but for a dog Thiren who sometimes has to stay back for make-up exams in literature, it's especially tough.
"...You already know it, don't you? It's, uh... ahem, SailumeSadLoneGhost"
"—You heard me!"
"Damn it. One of these days, I'm changing it to 'Mention My Old Name Again and I'll See You in the Hollow.'"

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

04

Childhood Oath

Maybe every teenager imagines themselves as a lone wolf with cold eyes... but Manato had an edge in that regard.
If not for the drowned ideals, he could have gone on pretending nothing had ever happened, just like everyone else.
"Like I said, that was just how I thought when I was eight—"
"So this is what a 'friend' is... You didn't treat me like I was fragile, but sometimes you don't treat me like a person either."

Max HP increases by 8%.
During Special Attack: Return to Ashes and Special Attack: Return to Ashes - Sacrifice, when Manato takes fatal DMG, he remains in battle, with his HP not dropping below 1. This effect can trigger once every 10s.

05

Lone Shadow Returns to the Pack

In truth, despite the barrier his appearance put up, Manato was popular with everyone.
Some made friends with him, some looked to him for protection, and some... tried to rope him into advertising.
"Sorry, I'm probably not the right choice to promote your shop."
"As for 'bench pressing,' I've never done it — unless you're referring to... being pinned by Ethereals and pushing up my greatsword to keep their claws off me?"

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

06

Beyond Dreams of the Past

Manato set aside the dream of lone courage and embraced the friends he held dear.
Of course, these friends could still cause him trouble, like at Waifei Peninsula's specialty soup shop.
"When I said I'd cover the rear, I didn't mean while drinking coconut chicken soup."
"Then how come I'm the one on the front lines when it's scorpion soup?"
...But he charged ahead anyway.

When Special Attack: Return to Ashes hits a Stunned enemy, Manato gains 75 Blazing Heart and 4 stacks of Remnant Flame, and pressing

will launch an Assist Follow-Up. This Remnant Flame effect can trigger once every 20s.
When his Assist Follow-Up hits an enemy, Manato's Fire DMG increases by 3% for 8s, stacking up to 5 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
