Cantarella Overview

Cantarella is a Havoc Resonator who wields a Rectifier, positioned as a versatile damage dealer, healer and Support.

Pros	Cons
Supports team with healing and buffs Consistent damage through coordination Amplifies Havoc and Skill damage output	Requires Skillful play Less energy than Top-tier supports On-Field Reliant

Playstyle

Cantarella thrives as a Havoc sub-DPS and healer with a focus on coordinated off-field attacks and quick-swap synergy. Her defining mechanic is the Mirage State, entered by stacking Trance (via Intro Skill, Basic Attack 3, Resonance Skill, or Liberation) and holding Heavy Attack.

• Upgrades her Resonance Skill to debuff enemies (slows and jolts for Havoc DMG when she attacks).
• Builds Shiver stacks (via Basic Attacks/Dodge Counters) to heal allies and unlock Perception Drain, a high-damage finisher.
• Liberation triggers 21 coordinated attacks over 30 seconds, castable midair for flexibility.

Rotation: Intro → Liberation → Basic Attack 3 + Resonance Skill (build Trance) → Heavy Attack (Mirage) → Resonance Skill (debuff) → Basic Attacks (Shiver) → Perception Drain → Swap with Outro buff.

 

Skill Priority

Cantarella’s skill upgrades depend on her role: DPS or Healer/Support.

For the DPS Build:

1.Resonance Liberation: Maximizes Havoc DMG and coordinated attack output.

2.Resonance Skill: Boosts Mirage State damage and debuff potency.

3.Forte Circuit: Enhances Perception Drain’s burst potential.

4.Intro Skill: Improves Trance stacking and Concerto Energy.

5.Basic Attack: Least priority, used mainly for Shiver stacking.

For the Healer/Support Build:

1.Forte Circuit: Boosts healing from Shiver stacks.

2.Resonance Liberation: Increases off-field support via coordinated attacks.

3.Resonance Skill: Enhances debuff utility.

4.Basic Attack: Supports Shiver generation.

5.Intro Skill: Lower priority but aids team buffing.

Cantarella’s Forte Circuit stands out as her most critical skill, delivering both peak damage output—driven by Perception Drain’s impressive multiplier—and improved survivability in combat. On top of that, prioritizing upgrades to her Resonance Liberation is key, as it greatly amplifies the damage of her Coordinated Attacks.

 

Is Cantarella Worth Pulling?

Cantarella is a solid investment for players seeking a versatile Havoc unit. She's a side-grade to Jinhsi, offering unique healing and quick-swap utility, but her full potential awaits a future Havoc + Resonance Skill DPS.

If you enjoy dynamic gameplay and have Jiyan or Rover, she's worth pulling. Free-to-play (F2P) players may prioritize her over pure healers like Verina if team diversity is needed.

Whispers of Sirens（Signature）

Rarity	Base TAK	CRIT DMG
