My goodness! Kathisia has arrived! Is this dual-form swordsman really that strong?
With the upcoming release of Tidal Wave version 2.4, an astonishing character is about to make their debut! She is Kathisia, the mysterious dual-form swordsman who will stir up waves in this ocean. Let’s uncover the mysteries of this captivating character together!
This advanced character is a 5-star rarity swordsman with agility as her main attribute and swift blade as her weapon type. Switching between her two forms offers entirely different combat styles, providing players with a refreshing experience. Whether it’s her precise and awe-inspiring swordsmanship in Kathisia form or her frenzied destructive power in Furudoris form, she ignites the battlefield with unique passion!
A character’s signature weapon is the cornerstone of their combat power, and Kathisia’s signature weapon will not disappoint! With a base attack of 413 and 77.0% HP, it becomes even more formidable at R1, boosting HP by 12% and ignoring 8% of the target’s defense after using a variation skill or basic attack. When the target has more than one layer of Anemo erosion, damage dealt increases by 20%. These stats provide a supercharged foundation for her combat, making her a weapon born for battle!
In combat, Kathisia unleashes her Sword Shadow in a breathtaking way. The final strike of her basic attack, her heavy strike, or her Concert Skill will summon different Sword Shadows. When Sword Shadows are present on the field, her plunging attack absorbs them, dealing additional damage based on the number of shadows absorbed. This mechanism offers limitless combat combinations, a true paradise for battle strategies!
When her Resonance Energy is full, Kathisia activates her Resonance Release by tapping the button, transforming into Furudoris form. This form brings an entirely new combat experience: her HP drops to 50% of its max value, but she gains a 60% Anemo damage bonus and enters a 12-second Manifestation state. During this state, each attack charges her Resolve. When Resolve reaches 120 points, she can unleash the powerful Resonance Release: Look, the Wrathful Blade of the Storm, marking the climax of battle!
In Furudoris form, her basic attacks, heavy strikes, and Resonance Skills all change. Basic attacks can now have up to 5 strikes, while aerial attacks have up to 3. Each attack gains Resolve points, preparing for the final Resonance Release. Furudoris’ heavy strike gathers sword energy for a forward thrust, while the enhanced heavy strike steps back during activation and deals damage in a straight line. Her upward strikes and dodge counters also activate at different timings, creating a rich combat rhythm that’s a feast for both sight and sound!
Resonance Skills also evolve in Furudoris form. The first skill summons a gravitational field to pull enemies, while the second skill summons a massive Sword Shadow from the air to deal damage. This two-phase skill design offers even more strategic options, setting a benchmark for combat strategies!
In terms of attribute bonuses, Kathisia’s HP bonus is 1.80%/4.20%, and her critical rate bonus is 1.20%/2.80%. These bonuses further enhance her combat performance, making her a warrior born for battle! Her innate skill triggers an Encore Skill, increasing healing effects for friendly party members by 20%.
