Charon

Short answer: Charon is a 6-Star, Spirit-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a Dynamo, Support, Extra Action unit. Like every Arcanist, Charon hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Charon where the Spirit advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Charon uses the Spirit Afflatus. That means Charon has the advantage against Intellect units and is at a disadvantage into Star 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

Charon deals Mental damage and is built for Dynamo, Support, Extra Action 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 Charon with teammates that cover the roles Charon does not.

Building Charon

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Charon with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Charon 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.
