Mint — S Tier
High-speed Frost striker who melts single targets through Chill stacks.
Why Mint is S Tier
Mint sits at S Tier — top alternative on the NTE 1.0 overall tier list. Top universal alternatives. Mint as best Frost Main DPS, Hathor as the strongest healer, Aurelia as a universal off-field amp, and Edgar as the best AoE Blaze DPS.
As a SSR Frost Main DPS, mint's ceiling is defined by top-tier single-target damage at launch meta; the main reason she isn't placed higher is mediocre aoe — struggles vs large mob waves.
