- Wellspring: Remedy Aura generation is increased by 25%.
- Quickstep: While Katashiro Return is active, allies within Remedy Aura gain 20% increased movement speed.
- ★ Resonant Return: Healing Kasa bounces one additional time. Each bounce increases its healing by 10.
Tips
- Healing Kasa (secondary fire) heals: use it before an ally drops too low, not after.
- Katashiro Return (Shift) moves you: if you spend it to engage, you won't have it to escape.
- Kekkai Sanctuary (Q) is your ultimate: plan it with your team's ultimates instead of using it as soon as it's ready.
