Minato Natsukaze: A Versatile Character to Gain the Upper Hand in Games
Fellow gamers, today we’re going to discuss a very powerful character in the current version—Minato Natsukaze. She is a 5-star Anemo (Wind) character who can handle both damage dealing and support roles, making her the “Swiss Army knife” of the game. Below, I’ll provide a comprehensive analysis covering her skills, weapons, Resonance, and team compositions to help you make the most of this character in your lineup.
First, let’s clarify her role. Minato serves as both a sub-DPS and a support character, with her skill mechanics centered around the Wind Erosion effect. Her fourth basic attack, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Ultimate all apply Wind Erosion, while her Delayed Skill enhances the effect of Wind Erosion on enemies and gathers them for easier targeting by teammates. In short, she’s an exceptional support-dealer!
For skill upgrades, her 5-star Resonance Ultimate must be maxed out, with Loop at three stars. Her basic attack and Resonance Skill can be at two stars, and her Delayed Skill only needs one star, as damage output is the priority while support skills can be slightly reduced.
Moving on to weapon recommendations, the 5-star exclusive weapon Woodland Aria is the top choice with a base attack of 500 and a 36% critical rate. Its effect is even more impressive: a 12% attack boost, a 24% Anemo damage bonus when Wind Erosion is applied to targets, and a 10% reduction in enemies’ Anemo resistance. If you don’t have the exclusive weapon, the 4-star Romance in Farewell is a good alternative, with a base attack of 463 and an 18.2% attack boost. Its effect increases damage to enemies with debuffs by 8%, stackable up to four times.
For Resonance sets, Flowing Clouds, Fading Emptiness is the top pick. This set not only boosts Anemo damage but also increases the Anemo damage of all team members by 15% when Wind Erosion is applied, with an additional 15% boost for the wearer. If your team includes other Anemo characters, Light Clouds and Rising Moon is another excellent choice, providing a 22.5% attack boost after using the Delayed Skill. New players can opt for a mixed set of Flowing Clouds, Fading Emptiness and Valley Winds, Long Songs for basic needs.
Regarding Resonance main effects, prioritize critical rate or critical damage, followed by Anemo damage and attack percentage. Sub-effects should focus on critical rate and damage, along with Resonance efficiency and attack percentage.
Finally, for team compositions, Minato Natsukaze can shine in Wind Erosion teams, Light Noise teams, and low-investment teams. In a Wind Erosion team, pairing her with Fei and Wandering Shikaban (Anemo) maximizes Wind Erosion effects. In a Light Noise team, pairing her with Fei and Xanni allows her to focus on support. In a low-investment team, pairing her with Wandering Shikaban and Bai Ji ensures both damage output and healing.
We hope this guide helps you maximize Minato Natsukaze’s potential. Good luck with your gacha pulls, and may she soon join your team! Remember to top up via Treabar before pulling for her to enjoy up to 22% bonus!
