Iansan's Talents
Type | Talent Name | Brief Explanation |
---|---|---|
Normal | Normal Attack: By the Horns |
Normal Attack Performs up to 3 consecutive spear strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. Nightsoul State: Swift Stormflight While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state: Iansan's Charged Attack will be transformed into the formidable Swift Stormflight, consuming a certain amount of Stamina to stomp fiercely down, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG. |
Elemental Skill | Thunderbolt Rush |
Iansan charges forward a certain distance, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to all opponents in her path. After this is done, using a Normal Attack will trigger 1 Swift Stormflight stomp that will not consume Stamina. After this Skill is used, Iansan will regain Nightsoul points up to her maximum and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state. Nightsoul's Blessing: Iansan Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. If she runs out, or uses this Skill again, her Nightsoul's Blessing state will end. It has the following properties:

Elemental Burst | The Three Principles of Power |

When this Skill is used, Iansan will gain 15 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state. When the Kinetic Energy Scale leaves the field, Iansan's Nightsoul's Blessing state will end. Kinetic Energy Scale The Kinetic Energy Scale will follow the character around, boosting the ATK of your current active party member in different ways based on Iansan's Nightsoul points.
Additionally, the Scale will log the distance your current active character (excluding Iansan) has moved so long as it is active, restoring Nightsoul points to Iansan every second based on the distance moved in the previous second. The Scale will disappear once her Nightsoul's Blessing state ends. It will disappear 1s after you cease being in a state of combat.
