Mantra is a reasonably powerful Caster, who avoids some of the key issues that plague her fellow Primal Casters, although in an era of ever expanding powercreep, she ends up feeling a bit complex and situational for the output, particularly with how absurdly powerful her corresponding Ritualist is already. It hampers Mantra's priority, although she is still more powerful than many legacy units and is more than usable if she catches your fancy. Her skills form a fairly typical split of Primal Casters where her S3 does a ton of damage (enhanced by an applicator) while her S1 or S2 apply the Nervous Impairment herself. S3 is one of those mentioned areas she avoids the core Primal Caster issue because while Tragodia certainly enhances the effect, she is still effective on her own. This makes S3 her primary skill since it has the best outcomes in either case. While units like Nymph and Blaze2's priorities depend on their corresponding applicator, Mantra's S3 is her best skill regardless, nor does it change much in priority. It's one of those skills that can be a bit daunting to read, but what basically happens is every extra Paralysis stack over 2 becomes Elemental Damage that hits 2
