	Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura	Elemental Skill
Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview To Yae, such dull tasks as can be accomplished by driving spirits out need not be done personally. Moves swiftly, leaving a Sesshou Sakura behind. Sesshou Sakura Has the following properties: Periodically strikes one nearby opponent with lightning, dealing Electro DMG When there are other Sesshou Sakura nearby, their level will increase, boosting the DMG dealt by these lightning strikes. This skill has three charges. A maximum of 3 Sesshou Sakura can exist simultaneously. The initial level of each Sesshou Sakura is 1, and the initial highest level each sakura can reach is 3. If a new Sesshou Sakura is created too close to an existing one, the existing one will be destroyed. When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 1 Elemental Particle. This particle generation has a cooldown of 2.5s. The Sesshou Sakura can strike 5 times over their 14 seconds duration. The maximum Sesshou Sakura limit of 3 is shared between all players in Co-Op Mode. Successive uses of this talent will override previous uses. The Sesshou Sakura has two targeting groups: Living Beings (Enemies, Wildlife) and miscellaneous objects (torches, campfires, Cuihua trees, Anemograna, Parametric Transformer, Berries, Jueyun Chili, etc.). When both groups of targets are present within a Sesshou Sakura's range, it will always prioritize living beings over miscellaneous objects. The targeting of different targets within the same group is random. Sesshou Sakura DMG does not snapshot and will be affected by changes in Yae Miko's stats after the ability is cast. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, The Shrine's Sacred Shade: "When casting Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, each Sesshou Sakura destroyed resets the cooldown for 1 charge of Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura."

Constellation Effects Constellation Level 2, Fox's Mooncall: "Sesshou Sakura start at Level 2 when created, their max level is increased to 4, and their attack range is increased by 60%."

Constellation Level 4, Sakura Channeling: "When Sesshou Sakura lightning hits opponents, the Electro DMG Bonus of all nearby party members is increased by 20% for 5s."

	Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin	Elemental Burst
Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview Legends of "kitsunetsuki," or the manifestations of a kitsune's might, are common in Inazuma's folktales. One that particularly captures the imagination is that of the Sky Kitsune, said to cause lightning to fall down upon the foes of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Summons a lightning strike, dealing AoE Electro DMG. When she uses this skill, Yae Miko will unseal nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Tenko Thunderbolts that descend from the skies, dealing AoE Electro DMG. Each Sesshou Sakura destroyed in this way will create one Tenko Thunderbolt. Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin does not snapshot and will be affected by changes in Yae Miko's stats after the ability is cast. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, The Shrine's Sacred Shade: "When casting Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, each Sesshou Sakura destroyed resets the cooldown for 1 charge of Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura."
