Trivia

Born from a family of low-class Columbian Perro workers, Gantt Jr. was entrusted by his parents to improve their lives for the better and did so by achieving good grades in school, eventually studying mechanical engineering in a well-known Columbian university. Upon graduation, Gantt was hired by Rhodes Island who were sufficiently impressed enough by his resume and served the Engineering Department as an Originium mechanical designer and supporting R.I. operators in the frontlines with reliable, supercharger batteries to augment the effectiveness of Originium Arts attacks, under the callsign "Windflit". While being an introvert and looking down on R.I. personnel coming from affluent background due to his past, Windflit proves to be a skilled and diligent engineer.

Introduction

Windflit is a 5★ Artificer Supporter who specializes in DPS and Support. Unlike other Supporters, Windflit is a melee Operator who can only be deployed on melee tiles and uses a melee attack that deals Physical damage instead of other Supporters who are ranged Arts units with similar ATK and attack interval to Pioneer Vanguards, which also extends to his stats including a block count of two.

As an Artificer Supporter, having Windflit deployed allows the player to deploy Support Devices, which will be elaborated below.

Talent

Forward Together has Windflit use Reliable Batteries (hence referred to as "Batteries") as his Support Device. Windflit has two (three from Elite 1) Batteries available in every deployment, and up to two Batteries can be deployed at a time.

• The Battery buffs the ATK of a Caster or Supporter (and only Caster/Supporter!) which can be stacked if multiple Batteries support one unit.

Skills

1. Machine Rapport causes Windflit's next attack to damage all enemies in the surrounding tiles by a higher portion of his ATK and has the Casters/Supporters being supported by his Batteries to recover 1 SP when charged, which can store multiple charges at higher levels.
2. Energy Rapport buffs Windflit's ATK and makes the Batteries' ATK buff more effective, and gives an additional Battery when the skill expires, but increases his attack interval while active.

Operator Module

The CRA-X Module, "A Bright Idea Occurs", increases the Battery's deployment count by 1 and reduces their DP cost by 2 in addition to increasing Windflit's maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, the Battery's ATK buff is increased.

Base skills

1. Required Course increases the byproduct rate of upgrade material processing by 75% while Windflit is assigned to a Workshop.
2. Automation α, increases Factory productivity by 5% for every Power Plant built (e.g. having three Power Plants increases productivity by 15%) but reduces the productivity boost of other Operators in the same Factory as Windflit, except those with the Automation base skills as well (including Weedy's Bionic Seadragon), to 0 while Windflit is assigned to one.

Summary

Windflit is a solid Artificer Supporter who prefers to fight on the lower ground and using his Batteries to augment his fellow Casters and Supporters' offensive capabilities, allowing them to deal more damage than usual.
