| Core Passive: Accelerant | Core Skill | Core Passive |
| Lighter automatically gains Morale over time, at a rate of 2.9 points per second. For each point of Energy consumed by any squad member, Lighter recovers an additional 0.26 Morale, up to a maximum of 100. When Morale reaches 80, the next time Lighter switches into battle he immediately launches a Quick Assist. Once Morale is 80 or higher, executing the 5th hit of his Basic Attack puts Lighter in the Morale Burst state, enhancing the power of the startup light punch, jab combo, and the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack. When a skill hits an enemy with its power increased, it will continuously consume Morale. With every 10 points of Morale consumed, Lighter's Impact increases by X%, up to a maximum increase of X%, and lasting 6s. In the Morale Burst state, Lighter will no longer automatically gain Morale over time. If his Morale is exhausted during a startup light punch or jab combo, he will automatically follow up with a more powerful Finishing Move. In the Morale Burst state, when startup light punches or jab combos hit enemies, the target's Ice RES and Fire RES are reduced by 15%, lasting 30s. In the Morale Burst state, when the Finishing Move hits an enemy, it applies the Collapse effect on the target, extending its Stunned duration by 3s. The Collapse effect can trigger only once on the same target before they recover from Stun. When the Finishing Move of the 5th hit of his Basic Attack hits an enemy, when he switches off field, or when his Morale runs out, Lighter will leave the Morale Burst state, keeping any unspent Morale. | ||
| Additional Ability: Fighting Spirit | Core Skill | Additional Ability |
| When another character in your squad is an Attack character or shares the same Faction: While under the Morale Burst state, when the 5th hit of Lighter's Basic Attack hits an enemy, all squad members gain a stack of Elation, stacking up to 20 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. For each stack of Elation, an Agent's Ice DMG and Fire DMG increase by 1.25%. When obtaining Elation, if Lighter's Impact exceeds 170, every additional 10 points of Impact will increase the buff effect provided by each stack of Elation by an extra 0.25%. When any squad member launches a Chain Attack, it will refresh the duration of all squad members' Elation. Elation can increase the Ice DMG and Fire DMG of Agents by a maximum of 75%. | ||

This effect can trigger once every 8s on each enemy. If Lighter's Impact exceeds 170 points, each additional point will further increase the multiplier of Blazing Impact by 5%, up to a maximum increase of 500%. The more powerful Finishing Move that follows when Lighter's Morale is completely exhausted during a light punch or jab combo will trigger an additional activation of Blazing Impact when hitting an enemy, ignoring the effect's cooldown.
