Balloon Party

Short answer: Balloon Party is a 5-Star, Mineral-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a Heal, DEF unit. Like every Arcanist, Balloon Party hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Balloon Party where the Mineral advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Balloon Party uses the Mineral Afflatus. That means Balloon Party has the advantage against Beast units and is at a disadvantage into Plant units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Balloon Party deals Reality damage and is built for Heal, DEF duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Balloon Party with teammates that cover the roles Balloon Party does not.

Building Balloon Party

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Balloon Party with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Balloon Party is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
