Elemental Skill

  • Preview
Invoking secret pacts passed down by her tribe over the millennia, Citlali deploys an Opal Shield and calls forth "Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Itzpapa," a creature that is (reputedly) terrifying beyond compare, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG.

The Opal Shield's DMG absorption scales based on Citlali's Elemental Mastery, and absorbs Cryo DMG with 250% efficiency. When it is deployed, it will cause Citlali to briefly be affected by Cryo.

After using this skill, Citlali gains 24 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Citlali
When Itzpapa leaves the field, Citlali exits the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Itzpapa
  • Itzpapa will follow the character.
  • If Citlali has at least 50 Nightsoul points, Itzpapa enters the Opal Fire state and continuously consumes Nightsoul points to whip up a Frostfall Storm that follows the character around and attacks opponents within its AoE, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Cryo DMG.
  • When Citlali's Nightsoul points are fully depleted, Itzpapa's Opal Fire state also ends.
  • When Obsidian Tzitzimitl DMG hits at least one enemy, it generates 5 Elemental Particles.
  • Frostfall Storm hits once every second.

Additionally, when Dawnfrost Darkstar is used, Itzpapa will consume all Nightsoul points, and while it is on the field, it will continuously consume Nightsoul points. Each Nightsoul point consumed in this way will grant Citlali 1 'Cifra of the Secret Law' point. A maximum of 40 such points can be gained, and each point Citlali possesses will grant all nearby party members a 1.5% Pyro and Hydro DMG Bonus, and increase the DMG Citlali deals by 2.5%.

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, can use Nightsoul Transmission: Citlali. When the active character is currently high enough in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Citlali: Citlali will leap up high, and will deploy "White Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Citlalin" to float in the air. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your party.

Holding Aiming Mode will cause Citlali to enter the "Spiritspeaker" state, which will allow her to interact with "Nightspirit Graffiti" and "Nightspirit Sigils," extracting information and power from them. The rules for interacting with these objects follow the same rules as those governing Iktomisaurus interactions.

Additionally, holding the jump button will cause Citlali to consume 75 Stamina and leap. In areas within Natlan where Phlogiston mechanics are present, Citlali will prioritize consuming 5 Phlogiston to leap to a height higher still.

When in the air, Citlali can Hold her Normal Attack to consume Phlogiston or Stamina and enter Aiming Mode and trigger Charged Attacks. When initiating Charged Attacks in mid-air, Citlali will prioritize consuming 20 Phlogiston.

Character Description[]

Citlali's Elemental Skill creates an Opal Shield based on her Elemental Mastery, dealing Cryo DMG in an area and restoring Nightsoul points. If Citlali has at least 50 Nightsoul points, she will continuously consume points to create a Frostfall Storm that follows the character around and deals DMG to surrounding opponents.

Her Elemental Burst creates an ice storm that bombards the area ahead, dealing AoE Cryo DMG and summoning Spiritvessel Skulls to nearby opponents that deal AoE Cryo DMG after a short time. The ice storm and the Spiritvessel Skulls will restore Nightsoul points to Citlali.

While her Elemental Skill is active, after nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, the opponent affected by that reaction will have their Pyro and Hydro RES decreased by 20% for 12s.

Holding Jump will have Citlali consume Phlogiston to leap even higher. She can expend Phlogiston and Stamina in mid-air to launch Charged Attacks.

To facilitate experiencing the character's Elemental Burst and Nightsoul's Blessing state, additional Elemental Orbs will appear in the trial stage, and more objects will provide Phlogiston.
