Black Swan Skills
Technique: From Façade to Vérité
At the beginning of the next battle, there is a chance to inflict a stack of Arcana on each enemy. If Arcana is successfully inflicted on any enemy, this effect will be repeated on the affected enemies until it fails to inflict Arcana on any of them. The re-trigger chance of inflicting Arcana will be lowered with each successful Arcana inflicted on the target.
Basic Attack: Percipience, Silent Dawn
Deals Wind DMG to a single target enemy, with a chance of inflicting 1 stack of Arcana. And if the hit target currently has Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, or Shock applied to them, each respectively has a chance of additionally inflicting 1 extra stack of Arcana onto the enemy.
Talent: Loom of Fate’s Caprice
Each enemy target has a certain chance at the start of each turn to be afflicted by a stack of Arcana for every instance of DoT sustained.
When afflicted by Arcana, enemy targets will receive Wind DoT at the start of each turn. Each stack of Arcana increases the DMG multiplier, which is then reset to 1 stack. There is a limit for the Arcana stacks.
At the beginning of an enemy’s turn, when Arcana causes DMG, Black Swan will trigger additional effects that can be stacked, based upon the number of Arcana stacks inflicted on a target:
Over 3 stacks: Inflicts Wind DoT to adjacent enemies and has a chance of inflicting 1 stack of Arcana to adjacent targets.
Over 7 stacks: The DoT inflicted this time ignores a certain percentage of the DEF of both the target and adjacent targets.
Related Traces: Goblet’s Dredges, Candleflame’s Portent

Deals Wind DMG to a single target enemy and any adjacent targets. At the same time, there is a chance of inflicting 1 stack of Arcana on the target enemy and the adjacent targets. And there is a chance of reducing the DEF of the target enemy and the adjacent targets, lasting for a certain number of turns.
Related Traces: Viscera’s Disquiet
Ultimate: Bliss of Otherworld’s Embrace
Applies Epiphany on all enemies for a certain number of turns. Enemies affected by Epiphany take more DMG in their turn, and their Arcana effect is regarded as Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, and Shock effects. In addition, when their Arcana effect is triggered at the beginning of the next turn, the Arcana stacks are not reset. The stack non-reset effect can be triggered up to 1 time in Epiphany’s duration, and its charges are replenished when Epiphany is applied again. Deals Wind DMG to all targets.
