Kit Overview

• Skill: Deals Wind DMG and applies Arcana stacks, increasing DoT and reducing enemy DEF at high stacks.
• Ultimate: AoE Wind DMG, applies Epiphany so enemies take more DoT damage and trigger extra ticks.
• Talent/Role: Nihility DoT carry that stacks Arcana for stronger Wind Shear; pairs with Kafka for detonation.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Huge stacking DoT damage, Arcana provides DEF shred, excellent AoE coverage. Cons: Needs high Effect Hit Rate investment, ramps slowly so underperforms in short fights.
