Liino is a Polearm-wielding supporter who deals Electric DMG.
BASIC ATTACK: An attack with up to 5 sequences that deals Electric DMG. As the controlled operator, Final Strike also deals 19 Stagger. DIVE ATTACK: Basic attack performed in mid-air becomes a dive attack that deals Electric DMG to nearby enemies. FINISHER: Basic attack performed near a Staggered enemy becomes a finisher that deals massive Electric DMG and recovers some SP.
Liino deals Electric DMG to enemies and then enters her Vocalist Stance. While this stance is active, if there are enemies nearby, Liino will perform an Additional ATK (that deals Electric DMG to enemies) on a regular basis. Vocalist Stance: While this stance is active, Liino grants the entire team an ATK Boost. After entering battle, Liino will also grant continuous HP Treatment to operators within range. During Vocalist Stance, her battle skill is replaced with End Stance. Casting this will end her Vocalist Stance early without consuming any SP, after which the battle skill will enter a short cooldown.
COMBO TRIGGER: While Vocalist Stance is active, an Arts Reaction is consumed or is applied on an enemy. Liino deals Electric DMG to enemies, grants HP Treatment to the controlled operator, and gains additional Ultimate Energy. Casting the combo skill Delightful Harmonics does not interrupt Vocalist Stance.
Liino grants HP Treatment to the entire team, enters her Cosmovoice Stance at the same time, unleashes a continuous display of Stage Pyrotechnics that deals Electric DMG, and then triggers an Electrifying Extravaganza that deals Electric DMG and forcibly applies Electrification to enemies in a large area of effect (AOE). Cosmovoice Stance: This stance replaces Liino's Vocalist Stance. While active, the stance grants the entire team Electric Amp and Nature Amp (effects are further increased by the attribute of Will) as well as an ATK Boost. The beats of Liino's song also deal Electric DMG to enemies in the AOE and grant continuous HP Treatment to allied operators in the AOE. When the stance ends, deals 3 times the DMG from a single beat to enemies in the AOE, and grants 3 times the HP treatment from a single beat to the entire team. This effect does not trigger if the stance is ended early. During the stance, her battle skill is replaced with End Stance. Casting the battle skill during Cosmovoice Stance ends it early and does not consume any SP.

Operator Liino is a rising star in the Civilization Band's pop culture scene, widely known as the "Morning Star of La Fantoma". She joined Endfield Industries for personal reasons and currently handles parts of its external communications and public outreach efforts. Despite her popularity in the entertainment industry, Operator Liino is far more approachable than most people would expect from an idol. She has occasionally played up a softer, more delicate image when interacting with Engineering Division operators to secure personal favors, including access to certain areas aboard Dijiang. Following several friendly reminders from Supervisor Perlica, such behavior has become far less common. One thing worth noting is that Liino rarely talks about her family. According to the files she submitted, her parents passed away in an accident when she was eight, and she was the only survivor. As for her mother, who was also a Djall, Mr. Fleming, the "Bridge Builder", confirmed in a brief exchange that she, too, was from Seš'qa. However, she left her family shortly after coming of age and has not been heard from since. Regarding the "little trouble" (as she put it) caused by the "Djall rumors", Mr. Fleming took the opportunity to negotiate a partnership with Liino. The exact details of their agreement remain unknown. However, her later shift toward more daring stage performances, along with the gradual fading of the rumors, suggests the outcome was positive for everyone involved. Looking ahead, it remains difficult to predict how Operator Liino intends to grow her stage career. But as she likes to say herself: "Ask me about the future later! I've got, like, dozens of concerts to shine through first!" — Martin Marvin Malen, Assistant, HR Division, Endfield Industries
Even after joining Endfield, Miss Liino remains largely focused on her performance schedule. Still, she handles every assignment from the Endministrator, from routine duties to assisting intelligence operators with evaluating potential partners, with remarkable enthusiasm and professionalism, always producing excellent results. Medical staff have frequently pointed out that Miss Liino's eating and sleeping habits are significantly more erratic than those of most operators, with sharp changes that closely follow the intensity of her schedule. Over time, those who have worked with her have come to see that she is deeply perfectionistic in nature, applying the same standards to all tasks she accepts as she does to her performances. Even minor imperfections are difficult for her to accept, and she will relentlessly refine her work until it matches her vision. Every now and then, the Medical Division sends someone to check on Miss Liino. Once the Endministrator talks her into it, she'll usually play along — for a little while, at least. By Talos... She's been at that proposal for almost 30 hours now! Do Djall not sleep or something? — An anonymous operator who once worked with Liino Bedtime? Mealtime? Hmm ... the only time that matters is showtime! I've got a dream stage to build! — Liino
I've never really trusted my memory, and I don't keep a diary. But when I got back to my place at the Asphalt Roundabout and took out that album with Miss Liino's signature on it, all the happy memories from that day came rushing back. I just had to write this down. I've never been to La Fantoma before this fan meeting. Even though I booked my hotel a month in advance, I still got lost. Thankfully, a kind Feline helped me find my way. A lot of the guests there were probably fans like me. The front desk noticed my Liino plushie on my bag, told me the fastest route to the venue, and even suggested a nearby café. "It's the one Miss Liino mentioned in her interview! You might wanna try their signature drink." The next day, when I arrived at the venue, almost everyone was holding a cup of that café's signature drink. I had already bought one too, so I just quietly blended in. No one knew I had never actually watched a single Liino interview. Everyone around me looked so young and so clearly devoted. Compared to them, I really was just an ordinary fan. I only heard a few of Miss Liino's songs and liked her right away. Honestly, I never really cared about idols before her, and I had never been to a fan meeting before this. Everything about that day felt strange ... a little mysterious, and exciting in a way I can't really explain. When Miss Liino took the gift I nervously held out to her, said my name so warmly, and gently squeezed my hand, she said: "Twinkle-twinkle! I remember you! At the Asphalt Roundabout bus station, you helped Liino get her travel pass, didn't you?" I just nodded, speechless. Every line I'd practiced vanished. In the end, I just blurted a clumsy thank-you — "Thank you... I'm glad I could help..." I also wanted to tell her how much I loved that song she made up on the spot that day. But I couldn't get the words out. Yet somehow, she seemed to hear them anyway. She picked up the thread so naturally. "You still remember that song? It's gonna be in my next album! If you like it so much, you should come to Liino's concert next month. Liino will sing the full version live!" Then she placed the already-signed album into my hands, smiled, and said: "I hope I'll see you there, Evelyn!" Looking back, everything felt like a dream. I think I finally understand how those super passionate fans feel. When you're looking at someone that shines that brightly, it's impossible not to think ... "I wish I could see her again." I really, really hope I'll get to see Liino again someday. La Fantoma, New Wrankwood, Simonch, or even somewhere way farther away, I'd go without hesitation. I really would. — "A Fan Meeting I'll Never Forget" by a Bus Station Clerk Who Traveled Alone to Valley IV for Liino
"The Mystery Behind Her Sudden Fame: Genuine Public Support or Djall Witchcraft?" A new idol named Liino, from La Fantoma, is taking the scene by storm. She's smashing chart records at a ridiculous pace, and her fanbase has exploded from a few hundred to over ten thousand in no time. Liino fever is sweeping the scene. Her debut album, "Fly Talosian and Go Supersonic", is already sold out, and tickets to her first La Fantoma concert have become a full-blown sellout nightmare for fans. However, while compiling this article, I have also come across growing doubts surrounding Liino's meteoric rise to fame — and her so-called "Djall" identity now appears to be at the very center of the storm. One informant even told me that his own sister became an obsessive fan of Liino after hearing just a single song, despite having shown no interest in idols beforehand. In recent days, similar stories have been popping up at an alarming rate. Some even speculate she is weaving ancient Djall witchcraft into her music. While the academic world firmly insists there is no evidence for so-called "recordable witchcraft", that has done little to stop the rumor mill, and the theory has been regarded by some as relatively credible. Liino's rapid rise in popularity may stem from a planned corporate campaign, with Djall witchcraft possibly playing a role in amplifying its effect. If true, her real capabilities may fall short of the phenomenon surrounding her. It is hard not to wonder how the traditional idol industry of Talos II has ended up in such a state, raising deeper questions about the forces behind it. — Weekly Art, Issue 143, Star News Column "Whispers Behind the Curtain: Pro Doubts Cast on Mega Idol's First-Ever Concert" Just last month, Liino, one of the Civilization Band's fastest-rising idols, held her very first concert on the coast of La Fantoma. The show, themed "Breaking the Stage", sought to redefine live entertainment through bold staging choices and physically demanding choreography. While the concert was a clear success in terms of attendance and sales, professional opinions were divided. Among them, Mr. Louis Henson remarked: "Visually impressive, but somewhat excessive... Her vocal technique still needs work." So it appears this rising idol has a long way to go vocally, and her flashy, over-the-top performances can't quite hide that fact. How deeply disappointing. An idol with real ambition and talent, yet held back by such a glaring weakness. What a pity! Let this serve as a cautionary example for other emerging idols in the industry: polish your skills! After all, an idol who only caters to fan activities is unlikely to go far. — Weekly Art, Issue 151, Star News Column "Has Liino Been Misjudged? Rising Idol Speaks Out in Interview" Liino, the acclaimed rising idol, recently sat down for another exclusive interview with the La Fantoma Recording Industry Association. The nearly thirty-minute conversation covered recent controversies and her upcoming performance schedule. Contrary to expectations, Liino appeared remarkably candid regarding her Djall identity. Rather than attempting to avoid the subject, she openly acknowledged the criticism and stated that she understood why such doubts existed. As for performance style, she stated that she was willing to accept sincere feedback from audiences and continue refining herself as an idol. The interview ultimately left a somewhat more positive impression than expected. Whether Liino can truly live up to her words, however, will require further observation. Editor's Note: This article was written before Liino's latest fan event. The opinions expressed above were not influenced in any way by Liino's sincere on-stage thanks toward the Weekly Art editorial department. — Weekly Art, Issue 155, Star News Column "Liino Drops New Demo 'Starlight Over New Wrankwood — Over a Million Streams Already!" This Sunday, Liino finally gave fans what they'd been waiting for — the demo of "Starlight Over New Wrankwood", the lead single from her upcoming album. This is her first time blending classical music influences with modern pop production, and she's already showing a bold new side to her music. Fans are loving it: "Miss Liino is amazing! This song is beautiful!" Within a short time of release, the demo had already surpassed one million streams. If this preview is any indication, even bigger surprises may be waiting when the full album arrives. — Weekly Art, Issue 158, Star News Column "Morning Star" Lands at Valley IV — Charity Concert Set to Shine!" Liino, currently one of the most talked-about rising idols of Talos II, is said to be heading to Valley IV. Insider reports suggest she has been invited as a special guest for a charity concert organized by the Brady Mining Group, with plans to deliver a solo performance on site. After winning over both fans and critics with her previous shows, expectations are sky-high. One thing's for sure — Liino is about to bring something even more dazzling and unforgettable to the stage. Ticket sales will be announced later this month on Liino's official website. Stay tuned for details. — Weekly Art, Issue 160, Star News Column
When Liino first met Mr. Fleming, known as the "Bridge Builder", she immediately knew he had come specifically to find her. Unlike the clearly separated reds and blacks, blues and yellows she usually perceived in people, Liino regarded him with caution and noticed three overlapping colors within the man said to represent the Witching Hour... A somber blue. A mournful green. And a deep, veiled purple. Together, they formed an image not easily deciphered — one that left even her, usually so perceptive, momentarily confused. Fleming seemed to notice her reaction and gave a small, knowing nod. "You're a very gifted Djall ... and yet you've never once used your abilities in performance. Is that because of what Freida taught you?" Liino froze for a brief moment. She had almost forgotten how long it had been since anyone last said that name to her. Her mother's name. But she quickly recovered. As an idol who always chased perfection, experience had long taught her how to respond to unexpected situations, then and now. So she composed herself and met Fleming's eyes without flinching. Her gaze was sharp, as if she intended to see right through him. "Who are you exactly...? How do you know that name?" Fleming smiled gently, unbothered by her bluntness. He looked around the backstage room and said: "Just an old acquaintance who misses her playing sometimes. I still remember how much she loved Leithanian classical music. She once had us track down quite a few musical sheets from Terra." "But then ... she took them all with her. She gave up everything to run away with some Liberi from Mieszko Industries. Just like that... It's been over twenty years now, hasn't it?" As he spoke, the colors around him shifted into a faded yellow, like old musical sheets her mother once adored and she now kept close. Her heart grew heavier. "Mr. Fleming... Did you come all this way just to talk about old times?" Fleming shook his head. "Not only for that. I wanted to offer a little warmth before discussing what might become a partnership. Just in case someone with too much caution decided to walk away before I even got to the point." "Partnership ... with who? The Witching Hour?" "As a senior business consultant to the Witching Hour, of course I'd like to work with a top idol like you. You know, there are broader possibilities." "You mean ... Seš'qa?" "Heh. You really do take after your mother. Conversations with intelligent people always save me a great deal of time. Yes — whether it's Djall-related rumors or external negotiations with different factions ... Seš'qa would be happy to help you remove anything that gets in the way of your perfect performances." "And the cost? What do I have to give in exchange for working with you ... with Seš'qa?" "I could say you are the greatest value of all ... but I suspect that isn't the answer you want. Information, access, connections ... something along those lines. How does that sound?" "......" "Now then, may I hear your answer?"
Hm? Time to hit the stage?
Twinkle-twinkle! My latest performance is about to start!
Singing, dancing, and thinking on my feet, I'm a straight-A idol in every category!
Wherever we go, I want to be the star that catches everyone's eye!
Would you choose one for me? Something easy enough for a total combat novice like me!
It's my first time wearing this stage gear... Hmm. Maybe I should come up with a few dance moves to go with it?
I understood it in a flash! Just like a star igniting my soul... I'm becoming quite the luminary, aren't I?
What a stage entry — You sure I can't use it for my next concert? Ugh, what a missed opportunity...
Oh that's sweet! How should I thank you... I've got it! I'll just keep showering you with concert tickets until we're even, how's that?
Eh? That's all you needed from me? I expected a list of demands as long as my renewal contract... This is actually ... quite fresh...
Mm-hmm, so you're finally under my spell? I knew you'd come around—eh? What's that? "You'll help carry the Endfield ads"? Is that all you focus on?!
Endmin, it's official: you're now my permanent VIP! I'm making sure you're missing none of my "dazzling moments"! You're starstruck, right? You better watch closely! If I see your mind wandering off... Heehee!
Endmin, missed me? As the brightest and cutest super idol of Talos-II, is there any special treatment for me? No...? Aw, you are still so blunt and direct, and yet somehow, still endearing... Guess it can't be helped.
Hehe! How's this for a cute pose?
La—lala—! Mic check complete! I'm ready to go!
How about two sets of speakers? One could work too! I just need to see how my voice carries in here...
Endmin! Care to join me? I'm about to scout some venues.
There you are, Endmin! Come listen to my new demo!
Hi, Endmin! Here to watch my rehearsal? I just perfected two tricky gliding stunts I've designed! Hehe, don't worry! I already reserved the best seats for you!
Dijiang is HUUGE! The place actually scared me at first! Then I thought — If I could have a space-themed concert here, that'd be SOOO amazing! Don't you agree, Endmin?
Hehe, another deal signed and sealed! I'm thinking of a new setup... A circular stage. Scrap the audience seating and add everyone to the show! Super clever and interesting, don't you think?
Sheesh, people should STAHHP making up ridiculous stories about Djalls. One smile and people will screech: "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY WALLET!" Really? Oh, puh-lease. If that were true... Endmin, keep still and look at my face! Now ... feeling any uncontrollable urge to gimme all your cash?
On the eve of my debut, I suffered a whole week without proper sleep. I spent all night rehearsing and double-checking every performance detail. The thought of a single slip got me scared. But — seeing how happy the audience was, I knew everything I did was ... worth every agony.
Gimme advice for my next performance venue, Endmin! New Wrankwood has an interesting floating stage, Neo Tsukushi concert hall is neat. La Fantoma... what about a mid-ocean performance? That'd be blockbusting! Hmm? Why only TGCC cities? Tsk, 'cos they are where the money is!
Ehehe, found this little souvenir while I was scouting the venues! Take it and let it make your day.
*GASP* My thanks! Heehee! I get all kinds of presents, but those from you ... always mean a little more to me.
The buzz from a great performance sticks with me for days! Yeah, it feels like a smith who perfects a weapon, except ... a sharp blade is only used to break hearts, while a great show is the perfect mirror for the soul.
"Sincerity". It's the perfume I wear and I love its aroma. Lilac with a dash of rose give it a spectacular and dreamy top note, but it fades into a base note of bitter cedar... And that's why it's super memorable, wouldn't you say?
Because I'm a Djall, they've made all sorts of over-the-top stories about me, like, how my songs are imbued with mind-control arts or how I'd use witchcraft instruments to manipulate my audience... But Endmin, the witchcraft in my earrings and hairpins actually suppresses my Djall powers. I won't permit a single "flaw" on my stage that isn't part of the show ... even if that flaw is my innate power.
When I was a girl, I would dream of a lovely purple rose. With a cloud-white ship we flew across the boundless skies, and the rose told me stories about the stars... One day, the red storm appeared. The ship capsized with the rose, dragged into a dark whirlpool. After that? Well, I woke up all by myself ... and I never, ever dreamed again.
I always treated the world as a massive stage, one that needed a bit more "heart" to master. Everyone, me included, is putting on our best show for an applause. But sometimes ... just sometimes ... even I wanted a break. So, Endmin, can I stay here a little longer? Being around you feels like the only time when I can breathe easy... Strange, isn't it?
More scripts to memorize for "surprise" interviews... Ugh. People just can't stop asking how I got started. I never went on any talent shows. I was directly scouted. My debut was an instant success, and I worked my heart out to get to where I am. Can't these variety show producers understand?! Is it really that hard to believe?
Interacting with fans, performing on stage... I give my absolute all to everything I do. Especially for my fans. I refuse to let them down. They deserve a dream with a happiness that lasts well after they wake. It doesn't matter if I get so tired I could fall asleep on my feet. I'll wait till the last fan leaves before I even take a sip of water... That's the duty of a real idol.
I did receive training about "strictly taboo topics". But I think ... I'll be okay if I talk about them with you. Like, my daily schedule is a super mess. I stay up late. I eat at random times. And I'm a real pain to my staff 'cos I demand perfection for my performance. Wow, admitting all that is quite embarrassing... So, to make it even, you should tell me a personal secret, Endmin.
My favorite way to unwind? If you're the press, I'd say "music" to be safe. But truth be told, I love sleeping. I can sleep for a dozen hours after hitting the pillow. It scared a new assistant witless 'cos she couldn't wake me...! Fortunately my manager was there and screamed: "Ten seconds to curtain!" I was up before she could countdown to nine.
A former staff member wrote to me this month. He felt guilty for staying silent while a sponsor flat-out accused me of something I never did. But I never blamed him... He chose silence because he needed the money for his family — like so many others struggling to get by. Who are we to blame them?
I used to be fine with all those TGCC practices and rules. But experience and learning that there isn't a single truth to life, I realized that — even TGCC people can choose to live their own way. Even for traditional stageshows, an idol can still deliver the performance with their own style.
Endmin, what do you think an "idol" really is? I suppose everyone has their own answer. For me, an "idol" is a ship that carries hope, and she must sail high enough to earn the right to fulfill her "duty"... And "my" dream has always been to sail Liino the Ship and reach the highest peak of Talos-II. There, I'll do my absolute best to illuminate every wish she carries.
Eh? Don't you think music games are a great way to de-stress? Even when I'm at my busiest, I still love squeezing in a few ultra-hard challenges in the brief moments of free time. I can't perfectly hit every note, but completing a stage just feels great! I'm not great at vertical scrollers, though. Single-tracks like Diro Master or Rhythm Party are what I like!
Mother warned me as a girl. The minds of others can be very enticing for Djalls. While whipping their hearts, I must never neglect to whip my own... Reading a hidden secret from people is just as easy as taking a drink of water for us. We don't even have to work for it. And that's why we often forget that people don't feel happy about having their souls laid bare.
Day one of that Obsidian Festival was the last time I went out with my parents. The beautiful sunset dyed the city's fringes red. I pointed to a girl holding a mic on the most visible poster on a skyscraper and asked my mom: "Mama, can I ever become someone like her?" Mom smiled, patted my head, and encouraged me for the first time. "It'll happen. If little Liino puts her heart into it, she'll become the most radiant star of La Fantoma."
There's something over there... I can't take my eyes off it!
Eh? That looks expensive... Maybe we're about to strike it rich?
A brand new place! Fingers crossed. Hope we get surprised with something interesting.
Oh my, looks like an uninvited big meanie just barged in!
Whoa. I only saw these minerals in encyclopedias...
Hee hee. Time to collect some special mo-cap data!
What a find! I'd say this earns a ten-spotlight solo!
Whoa. Aurylenes are actually super sparkly! Bet it's worth a fortune...
Everything around here feels ... revolting. I refuse to perform in a place like this!
Is it break time yet? Whew, I need some water! Give me a moment!
I got your back!
So warm and cozy...
Get down! Don't force yourself!
Ngh... Such a clumsy flaw...
Not fair... I was so close...
Whoa! I have to see that again!
When will I be able to move like you all?
Join me on stage for the next concert!
I'm in sync with the team!
Okay, let's do this! Twinkle-twinkle!
Let's cross-out these sour notes!
Told you I'm bad at fighting... Wait? We actually won?
A flawless curtain call! I knew we had this in the bag.
Not bad! You actually kept up with my tempo!
Take a proper break for the next performance! No worries. I'll whip everyone into a riot!
Was I not bright enough? No... I won't allow such a dismal finale...
Buh-byez!
Fall!
This is for you all!
Ears on me!
Here's my verse!
Time for me to give back!
The stage is calling!
Return of the Morning Star!
The show goes on!
You missed a beat!
Your show's over!
Time to spark joy in every heart!
Don't blink! The star is rising!
Let's fill the world with shine!
