Caesar's Best Mindscapes

Since Caesar's abilities are still in a beta version and can be changed until she releases, her best Mindscapes may also change until release. For the time being, it seems she has very good Mindscapes. Her M1 is definitely worth getting as she will apply her shield directly upon switching in combat. Her M2 gives her a small boost but can be overlooked. However, her M4 and M6 are rather powerful boosts in damage for herself and her entire team. As the first S-rank Defense character, she will most likely be a valuable team member in a lot of compositions, and as such, getting the most of her Mindscapes can be a good investment.

# Mindscape Description
M1 Spearhead Advance When Caesar enters combat or switches in, she instantly buffs the entire team with a Radiant Aegis shield, which can be can be triggered once every 300s. While Radiant Aegis is active, enemies within a 5m radius of the shield bearer suffer a 15% Attribute DMG RES reduction.
M2 Legacy of the Far Lands While Radiant Aegis is active during Core Passive: Barrier of Resilience, Caesar's Energy Generation increases by 10%, and the shield bearer's attack boost is increased to 150% of its original value.
M3 Absolute Trust Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.
M4 Aries the Battering-Ram When Caesar uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, she gains 3 additional Assist Points. If her Energy is below 20, she can activate EX Special Attack: Overpowered Shield Bash with 1 Assist Point instead. This substitution can only be triggered once every 5s.
M5 Romantic Conquest Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.
M6 Overlord's Will EX Special Attack: Overpowered Shield Bash and Assist Follow-Up is guaranteed to trigger a critical hit. The skill's DMG is increased by 50% with an additional damage of 50% dealt to the primary target. When Caesar uses EX Special Attack: Overpowered Shield Bash or Assist Follow-Up, her CRIT Rate is increased by 30% and her CRIT DMG is increased by 60% for 15s.
