Special characters
Certain characters also unlock Energy Regeneration Rate bonuses based on their Eidolon level. Asta at Eidolon Level 4 gains a 15% increase if she has two or more Charging Stacks. Meanwhile, Yanqing at Eidolon Level 2 gains an 10% increase to his Energy Regeneration Rate. However, these type of bonuses are very rare and most characters have a static 100% regen rate.
