Skills Talents

Talents Icon Name Notes
Normal Attack Sword_Cryo.png Sword of the Radiant Path Can perform four consecutive hits or be held for a charged attack.
Elemental Skill Talent_Nights_of_Formal_Focus.png Nights of Formal Focus Unleashes a shield that protects that party based on Layla’s health stat. In addition, Layla now uses Cryo attacks. While the Curtain of Slumber is active, it will create 1 Night Star that will be attached to it every 1.5s. When a character protected by this shield uses an Elemental Skill, 2 Night Stars will be created. Night Stars can be created once every 0.3s in this way. A maximum of 4 Night Stars can be accumulated at any one time. Once 4 Night Stars have been accumulated and there are opponents nearby, these Night Stars will transform into homing Shooting Stars that will be fired off in sequence, dealing Cryo DMG to any opponent’s hit. If the Curtain of Slumber’s duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends. New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely.
Elemental Burst Weapon_Key_of_Khaj_Nisut.png Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker Unleashes a sphere that deals AoE Cryo damage to enemies. When a shot hits an opponent, you will gain one Night Star.
