Name Day
Who is Name Day?
Name Day is a 5-star Mineral-afflatus Support who focuses on empowering carries that rely on their Ultimates for the bulk of their damage. His mechanics revolve around buffing the adjacent ally in front of him, granting [Enname] which allows that ally to cast their Ultimate at no AP cost for a limited duration. His Ultimate "Etched in Snow" grants all allies +50% Ultimate DMG for 3 rounds, and he accumulates [Ceremonious] stacks on adjacent allies to increase their Ultimate Might. Prydwen notes he offers decent Ultimate buffs with a strong AP-free Ultimate gimmick, but suffers from general modifier creep as a 5-star.
Kit Summary
Granted to the adjacent ally in front — allows them to cast their Ultimate with no AP cost for several rounds, freeing enormous amounts of AP in Ultimate-dependent rotations.
Grants +50% Ultimate DMG to all allies for 3 rounds — one of the widest-coverage Ultimate DMG buffs available.
Name Day's actions generate [Ceremonious] on the ally in front, increasing their Ultimate Might over time.
His most powerful effects target only the adjacent front ally — team placement must be planned carefully to maximise the benefit.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: ATK% and Incantation Might provide modest improvements to his own output. Since his value is almost entirely in buffs, heavy personal investment is low priority.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Thunderous Applause (support option, prydwen): Team Incantation Might after he acts complements the [Ceremonious] Ultimate Might stacking he generates on the front ally. Hopscotch (alternative): Incantation Might after taking action — a consistent passive team buff with no setup required.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Ultimate carry team: Name Day + Ultimate-heavy carry (Windsong / Blonney / Mr. Duncan) + buffer + healer — place the carry directly in front of Name Day to receive [Enname] and [Ceremonious] buffs every cycle.
AP-free Ultimate team: Name Day + any AP-hungry carry + Sonetto + sustain — [Enname] frees AP for the carry to spend on high-rank incantations instead of their Ultimate.
F2P Verdict
Name Day is a limited 5-star. Thunderous Applause is the recommended psychube. His position-dependent buffs require deliberate team construction and placement — F2P players who run Ultimate-centric carries will find real value from him. Casually flexible teams will get less out of his niche.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does [Enname] do exactly?
[Enname] is applied to the ally positioned directly in front of Name Day. While active, that ally can cast their Ultimate without spending any AP, lasting for a set number of rounds. This frees significant AP that would otherwise be spent on Ultimates, allowing the carry to spend all AP on incantations instead.
Does the 50% Ultimate DMG buff apply to all allies?
Yes — his Ultimate Etched in Snow grants +50% Ultimate DMG to all allies for 3 rounds, not just the front ally. The [Ceremonious] stacking and [Enname] are position-restricted, but the Ultimate DMG buff is universal.
How should I position Name Day?
Place him directly behind your primary carry so that carry receives [Enname] and [Ceremonious] buffs. Name Day should be in position 3 or 4, with the carry in position 2 or 3 directly ahead.
