Heavy Attack – A decent damaging attack that allows you to use the Basic Attack chain afterwards starting from the more powerful fourth attack.

Resonance Skill – Deals damage with a double hit and grants a considerable amount of Forte.

Forte Circuit – When performing a Heavy Attack at full Forte, enter into the Dark Surge state, enhancing your Resonance Skill, Basic, and Heavy Attacks to do more damage. Use the Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill while in this form. You want to get into this state as often as possible as this is where your damage comes from.

Resonance Liberation (R) – Deals a massive amount of damage in a wide radius in front of you. Also increases the damage that the Dreamless Echo skill will do.
