Understand The Seriousness of Breakfast

Useful when…

  • Consider it when the wearer can benefit from its damage bonus and earn defeats for the ATK stacks.

What are the effect and limits?

At S1, the wearer deals 12% more damage. Each enemy defeated by the wearer grants 4% ATK, stacking up to three times. At S5, the damage bonus is 24% and each stack grants 8% ATK. The stated trigger is a defeat by the wearer.

How do its effects compare?

The damage bonus applies without a defeat, while the ATK stacks require the wearer to defeat enemies. A Dream Scented in Wheat grants CRIT Rate and boosts Ultimate and Follow-Up damage. After the Charmony Fall grants Break Effect and temporary Speed after Ultimate. Their listed effects suit different damage modes.

What can be upgraded?

Promotion advances the Light Cone through six stages. Superimposition raises the damage bonus and per-defeat ATK gain, with the ATK effect capped at three stacks; supplied examples show a sacrifice copy for selected steps. A Star That Lights the Night lists effects tied to Assist Skill and Ultimate.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • ATK stacks require defeats by the wearer and are capped at three.
  • The stacking portion depends on the wearer defeating enemies.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Counting defeats by allies as stacks.
  • Exceeding the three-stack limit.
