Dupes / advancement

Rank 1 Bird Hunter

When Nekomata hits an enemy from behind, she ignores 16% of her target's Physical RES. If the enemy is Stunned, all Nekomata's attacks against them are considered back attacks. While Nekomata lacks strength due to her small size, she has the perceptiveness and agility required to locate her enemies' weaknesses and strike right where it hurts most.

Rank 2 Cat & Mouse

When there's only one enemy on the field and Nekomata is in combat, her Energy Generation Rate is increased by 25%. Cats always prefer to toy with their prey. If there's only one mouse left in combat — that's Nekomata's play time.

Rank 3 Curious Left Tail

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 According to the legends of the old civilization, each tail represents one of a cat's many lives, with years of wisdom and experience stored within... Even if that's not true, the experience Nekomata has gained on the streets certainly is.

Rank 4 Sharpen Claws

When Nekomata uses her EX Special Attack, her CRIT Rate increases by 7% for 15s, stacking up to 2 times, with each stack's duration being calculated separately. "Gimme more, gimme MORE! I can eat 'em all~" Her eyes sparkle as she licks the back of her paws.

Rank 5 Lucky Right Tail

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 According to the legends of the old civilization, each tail represents one of a cat's many lives, with years of wisdom and experience stored within... Sometimes Nekomata wonders to herself: If she is lucky enough to keep surviving, will she eventually grow another tail?

Rank 6 Predator Lineage

When Nekomata launches a Chain Attack or uses her Ultimate, her CRIT DMG increases by 18%, stacking up to 3 times. The effect expires when she's no longer in-combat. This effect gains maximum stacks immediately on defeating an enemy. "When a feline Thiren gets positive reinforcement from aggressive behavior, their latent animalistic tendencies emerge. Fortunately, these tendencies aren't permanent..." —Excerpt from the Handbook of Incomplete Research on Feline Thirens
