Even so, she still hopes that one day, she will find a memory that glows with light and happiness.

### Notes

Tairitsu is considered the baseline of all partners as she is available by default with perfectly balanced stats.
Since players are practically not penalized for failing in World Mode (unless using any Challenge-type partner like Tairitsu (Grievous Lady) or Ilith), it is advised to use Tairitsu on World Mode, even for starters. However, she will be quickly replaced with other higher-step partners such as Regulus (MDA-21) and Tairitsu (Tempest), provided the players have obtained these other partners through purchases.
