When it comes to abilities that say "3 girls including yourself" or "4 girls including yourself" etc.

Which girls does the ability choose? i am trying to make sense of it since it seems counter intuitive, here's an example:



This is a team i made to check how it stacks damage.
Cattleya 27% ATK for 3 including yourself
Toad lily 15% ATK for 4 girls including yourself
Dahlia 10% ATK for all girls
Oncidium 10% ATK for all girls
Dayflower 10% ATK for 3 girls including yourself


Cattleya (27% (cattleya) + 15% (toad lily) + 10% (dahlia) + 10% (oncidium) + 10% (dayflower) = 72%)
Toad lily (15% (toadlily) + 10% (day flower) + 10% (oncidium) + 10% (dahlia) = 45%)
Dahlia (27% (cattleya) + 15% (toad lily) + 10% (oncidium) + 10% (dahlia) = 62%)
Oncidium (27% (cattleya) + 10% (oncidium) + 10% (dahlia) = 47%)
Dayflower (15% (toad lily) + 10% (dayflower) + 10% (oncidium) + 10% (dahlia) = 45%)

As you can see the buffs are all over the place so it's hard to predict which girls are going to get the buff when you're building a team.


And to make things even more confusing heres what happens when theres only one buff on different orders

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

->Open Spoiler<-

Does anybody know how it actually works?
I always thought it chose the 2 or 3 nearest girls or the next 2 or 3.

It's random, only the girl giving the buff is guaranteed to be one of the recipients of the buff as well.

I always thought it was the team order.

My own observations have been that the buffs are, except for the source, randomly determined.

RNG as far as i know

Yep agreed, RNG all the way. I've seen this happen with a full team of 4 inc self, had one girl reach over +100% a few times but more often than not they stayed at 70%ish each tho a few times I also had one with 20-30% only.

I have now moved away from girls that are not team wide buffs as much as possible for the sheer unreliability of them on a team scale.
