	Inuzaka All-Round Defense	Elemental Skill
Deals AoE Geo DMG and sets up a General's War Banner. General's War Banner Provides up to 3 buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party at the time of casting: 1 Geo character: Adds "Standing Firm" - DEF Bonus. 2 Geo characters: Adds "Impregnable" - Increased resistance to interruption. 3 Geo characters: Adds "Crunch" - Geo DMG Bonus. Gorou can deploy only 1 General's War Banner on the field at any one time. Characters can only benefit from 1 General's War Banner at a time. When a party member leaves the field, the active buff will last for 2s. Hold Adjust the location of the skill. When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 2 Elemental Particles. The General's War Banner is not considered a Geo Construct and does not have hitbox. The buff is applied once every 0.3s to characters within the field and lasts for 2s. Gorou himself counts for the skill's effects, requiring two other Geo characters to make the most from the skill's effects.

	Juuga: Forward Unto Victory	Elemental Burst
Displaying his valor as a general, Gorou deals Aoe Geo DMG and creates a field known as General's Glory to embolden his comrades. General's Glory This field has the following properties: Like the General's War Banner created by Inuzaka All-Round Defense, provides buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party. Also moves together with your active character. Generates 1 Crystal Collapse every 1.5s that deals AoE Geo DMG to 1 opponent within the skill's AoE. Pulls 1 elemental shard in the skill's AoE to your active character's position every 1.5s (elemental shards are created by Crystallize reactions). If a General's War Banner created by Gorou currently exists on the field when his ability is used, it will be destroyed. In addition, for the duration of General's Glory, Gorou's Elemental Skill "Inuzaka All-Round Defense" will not create the General's War Banner. If Gorou falls, the effects of General's Glory will be cleared. The buff is applied once every 0.3s to characters within the field and lasts for 2s. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, Heedless of the Wind and Weather: "After using Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, all nearby party members' DEF is increased by 25% for 12s."
