  allows Io to mitigate some damage against foes with off-element attacks.
- Both characters can inflict, and benefit from BurnedHP is lowered on every turn
  . Since neither characters have Debuff Success EMPs, both of them can cover for each other either when the other fails to inflict the debuff, or if the foe has a means to clear the debuff.
- In the event that Athena also takes too much damage due to her increased Hostility, Io can heal her with Sunny DaysRestore 50% of an ally's HP (Healing cap: 2500).
