New Characters

PLEASE TAKE THESE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!
We will only know for sure how some of these skills work once they’re live, especially in Lucy’s case.

Lucy – 6✦ Intellect (Limited)

Insight: Initial Transmission

1: When the caster gains Moxie or an ally gains Moxie/Eureka, the caster gains an amount of [Energy]. After allies have accumulated an amount of [Energy], generate a [Sublimation] of your choice.

• [Sublimation]: Sublimate an incantation of your choice (this is what is used to upgrade her skills).

2: Increase Crit Rate upon entering combat.

3: After casting Ultimate, increase enemy DMG Taken for a certain amount of turns. After an enemy is defeated or the caster casts Ultimate, gain an amount of [Energy] and [Data Decryption]. After reaching an amount of these stacks, release [Kinetic Energy Conservation].

• [Data Decryption]: Increases ATK (stackable).
• [Energy]: Increases Pen Rate.
• [Kinetic Energy Conservation]: Mass Reality DMG, consumes [Energy] to gain Pen Rate (Follow-up Attack).

Skill 1

1-Target Reality DMG. Consumes an amount of [Energy] to deal additional Reality DMG.

Sublimated Skill 1:

• Mass Reality DMG (2 enemies). Deals full DMG to primary target and 50% DMG on the secondary target. Consumes an amount of [Energy] to deal additional DMG.

Skill 2

Mass Reality DMG. Consume certain layers of [Energy] to attack one more target. If there are less than 3 targets, deals extra reality DMG.

Sublimated Skill 2:

• AoE Reality DMG, with extra Genesis DMG scaling to ATK. Consume certain layers of [Energy] to attack one more target. If there are less than 3 targets, deals extra reality DMG.

Ultimate: Self Improvement

Gain [Pragmatism] for an amount of rounds. Gain [Data Decryption] and generate [Charge Bomb].

• [Pragmatism]: Attacking a certain Afflatus does something (this is very unclear) with the DMG Dealt.
• [Charge Bomb]: Gain an amount of [Energy] before attacking.

Follow-Up Attack(?) [Kinetic Energy Conservation]: Mass Reality DMG, consume [Energy] to increase Penetration rate.
Sublimated(?): Mass Reality DMG. If target is lower than a certain percentage, deals extra reality DMG. This attack ignores Dodge and will not trigger Counters. Consume [Energy] to increase Penetration rate.

Banner: From May 16 to June 27 (Entire Patch 1.9)

Kakania – 6✦ Plant

Insight: Psychoanalysis

1: A percentage of DMG Dealt to allies is instead dealt to Kakania. Kakania’s DMG Taken will be stored as [Empathy] and [Empathy] is capped at a percentage of Kakania’s Max HP.

• When [Empathy] reaches its max value she no longer takes DMG for allies.

2: Increases Max HP upon entering combat.

3: When [Empathy] reaches a certain percentage of Kakania’s Max HP, heal all allies for a percentage of Kakania’s Max HP. This also activates after Kakania takes a certain amount of DMG.

• When healed, deal damage to all enemies based on the current amount of [Empathy] (not a Follow-Up Attack).

Skill 1:

1-Target Mental DMG. Deals additional damage based on amount of [Empathy].

Skill 2:

1-Target Buff. Restores a certain percentage of Max HP. When used on allies, the caster loses a percentage of their Max HP and applies [Psychic Comfort] to the target.

• [Psychic Comfort]: Increases ATK by a percentage of the amount of [Empathy] at the time of its application.

Ultimate:

1-Target Mental DMG. Consumes all [Empathy] to deal extra Genesis DMG. Starts recording all allied DMG Taken this round with [Superego].

• [Superego]: At the end of the round, restore a percentage of DMG Taken.

Banner: From June 6 to June 27
