This is a guide to the upcoming five-star Havoc character Cantarella, who wields a rectifier. She is a support and healer, like Brant. Cantarella is unique because her Resonance Liberation and Resonance Skill are considered as casting an Echo Skill.
Cantarella’s best weapon is obviously her signature rectifier, which has a base attack of four hundred twelve and a seventy-two percent critical damage substat. It increases attack by twelve percent. Within ten seconds after casting an Intro Skill, casting an Echo Skill grants one stack of Soft Dream. Each Echo of the same name can trigger this effect only once. Can stack up to three times, lasting for ten seconds. The effect ends early when switching to another character. At one stack, increases Basic Attack damage bonus by forty percent. At two stacks, it ignores ten percent of the target's Havoc Resistance. At three stacks, when Soft Dream ends early, it increases self Basic Attack damage bonus by forty percent and ignores ten percent of the target's Havoc Resistance for twenty seven seconds. The effect ends early upon switching to this character.
Cantarella should not use The Shorekeeper’s signature rectifier because Cantarella heals using her Forte Circuit, while The Shorekeeper’s signature rectifier effect specifically mentions when casting Resonance Skill that heals an effect occurs.
Two five-star limited rectifiers that Cantarella can actually make use of are Stringmaster, Yinlin’s signature rectifier, and Rime-Draped Sprouts, Zhezhi’s signature rectifier. Stringmaster provides a twelve percent attribute damage bonus. It also increases attack by twelve percent when dealing damage with the Resonance Skill, stacking up to twice for five seconds. Additionally, when Cantarella is not on the field, her attack increases by another twelve percent. Rime-draped sprouts increase attack by twelve percent. When using Resonance Skill, it grants a Basic Attack Damage Bonus of the same percentage, stacking up to three times for six seconds. At three or more stacks, casting the Outro Skill consumes all stacks and gives a fifty-two percent Basic Attack Damage Bonus for twenty-seven seconds, which remains active even when Cantarella is not on the field.
A standard gacha five-star rectifier that Cantarella can use is Cosmic Ripples. It boosts energy regeneration by twelve point eight percent. Additionally, when Basic Attack Damage is dealt, it increases the Basic Attack Damage Bonus by three point two percent, stacking up to five times. This effect lasts for eight seconds and can be triggered once every zero point five seconds. The basic attack damage bonus is where Cantarella gets the most benefit, as she does not need energy regeneration.
A four-star pioneer podcast rectifier that Cantarella can use is Augment. It has a critical rate substat of twenty-point two percent. Activating Resonance Liberation enhances Cantarella's attack by fifteen percent, with the effect enduring for fifteen seconds.
An alternate four-star gacha rectifier that Cantarella can use is Fusion Accretion. It has an attack percent substat of eightteen point two percent. Using the Resonance Skill provides six resonance energy and boosts attack by ten percent, with the effect persisting for sixteen seconds. This effect can be activated once every twenty seconds.
The best three-star free-to-play rectifier for Cantarella is the Rectifier of Voyager, which restores resonance energy after using a resonance skill.
Cantarella’s Sequence Node One states that casting Resonance Skill recovers some amount of Trance. The damage multiplier of the resonance skills Graceful Waltz, Flickering Reverie, and Perception Drain is increased by three.
I would recommend pulling for Cantarella’s signature weapon over her Sequence Node One because it provides more useful stats to Cantarella, such as increasing attack, increasing basic attack damage, and ignoring havoc resistance. Meanwhile, Sequence Node One only increases the damage multipliers of her Resonance Skill.
Cantarella’s sequence node stopping point is sequence node two because it increases the damage multiplier of Startlement by two hundred forty-five percent, which is a significant boost.
The best D.P.S. echo set for Cantarella is a five-piece set of Midnight Veil. Its two-piece set effect increases havoc damage by ten percent. Its five-piece set effect states that triggering the Outro Skill inflicts an additional four hundred eighty percent havoc damage on surrounding enemies and provides the incoming resonator with a fifteen percent havoc damage bonus for fifteen seconds.
An alternative D.P.S. echo set for Cantarella is the five-piece set of Havoc Eclipse. Its two-piece set effect increases havoc damage by ten percent. Its five-piece set effect states that after executing a basic attack or heavy attack, havoc damage increases by seven point five percent. This effect can stack up to four times, with each stack lasting fifteen seconds.
Cantarella can also use Empyrean Anthem, which provides energy regeneration and increases her coordinated attack damage as well as increasing the active Resonator’s attack.
A support echo set for Cantarella is the five-piece set of Moonlit Clouds. Its two-piece set bonus increases energy regeneration by ten percent.
