ABILITIES PRIORITY

HIGHEST PRIORITY

Active Defense: Bastion Charge

Charges forward for AoE Electro damage, grants 40 Impact Momentum and creates a Supercharged Shield. Its absorption scales with Valeriy's ATK and is especially effective against Electro damage.

SECOND PRIORITY

Guard Tactics: Sword and Shield

Performs three sword strikes. At 40 or more Impact Momentum, the Charged Attack becomes Direct-Fire Mortar: Point-Blank Bombardment and consumes all Momentum for an enhanced hit.

THIRD PRIORITY

Focused Fire: Lightning Salvo

Fires a shell and calls down repeated Thunderburst Shells. While they fall, Electro attacks from the nearby active character help Valeriy build additional Impact Momentum.

Talent priority: Elemental Skill → Normal Attack → Elemental Burst

PASSIVE TALENTS
