As the Starlit Mikado, Takino transitions into a combatant defined by calculated efficiency and ruthless optimization.
Her battlefield philosophy is centered around minimizing exertion through maximized effectiveness. Every movement is executed with surgical precision, eliminating unnecessary flourish or redundancy. This results in a combat style that appears almost mechanical in its exactness.
Lotus Dominion
A modular pair of short hook blades designed for adaptive engagement.
Base Configuration:
- Dual independent hook blades optimized for close-range slashing and disarming maneuvers
- Balanced for both melee retention and precision throwing
Combined Configuration:
- Blades interlock to form a butterfly sword-style weapon
- Provides extended reach and rotational attack patterns
- Allows rapid transitions between offensive and defensive stances
Starlight Blessing: Amplification
Function: Doubles the output of Mana-based techniques and Starlight Blessings affecting allied units.
Standard Application:
- Multiplies magical potency and System-granted skill effectiveness by approximately twofold
- Significantly enhances group combat viability during coordinated engagements
Advanced Realization:
Takino later discovers that Amplification can be recursively applied to herself. By increasing her own output parameters, she extends her amplification effect to approximately threefold when applied to allies.
This recursive enhancement transforms Mikado into one of the most strategically influential figures among Runic Knights, as her presence can exponentially increase overall team capability.
