Karenina: Effulgence Skill Kit & Playstyle Analysis
General Introduction
Karenina: Effulgence is an S Rank Construct of the Breaker class of the Physical Element and Darkflow Afflatus. She specializes in dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies and shredding their Super Armor and resistances while she is on the field and triggering multiple QTEs to help the team with damage when she is off-field.
Playstyle Guide
Karenina: Effulgence’s gameplay is very flashy and fun, with her ability to use her weapon as an anchor surfboard to ram into enemies and deal powerful damage to them while switching between 2 different forms.
Karenina: Effulgence has 2 main different forms: a form where she wields her anchor as a weapon similar to her heavy hammer of the past and a form where she can use her anchor as a surfboard to move quickly throughout the battlefield and ram into the enemies to deal damage to them. To switch between the different modes, players can use her Red Orbs, and once she have switched between modes, Karenina: Effulgence will only be able to ping her Blue or Yellow orbs depending on the modes.
By dealing damage to enemies and pinging her orbs, Karenina: Effulgence will accumulate her core passive points, allowing her to deal a massive instance of damage to enemies by slamming her anchor onto the enemies in her anchor form or ram into the enemies from afar in her surfboard form. Once this attack is successful, Karenina: Effulgence is able to use her Ultimate, dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies in a wide area.
