Cicada

Early in the game, you'll transform into a Cicada as part of the story, allowing you to sneak past enemies undetected and set up surprise attacks.

The Cicada form however, does not work on bosses.

You Don't Keep the Cicada Spell in the Beginning

The Cicada transformation is available only briefly in the early parts of the game.

Once you de-transform, you won't retain it, but you'll acquire this spell again later in the game.

Red Tides

The Red Tides transformation turns you into a fiery, twinblade-wielding wolf guai that inflicts Scorch Bane with every attack.

Red Tides Spells

Type Spell Description
Light Attack Light Attack: Moon Dance Continuously slash at the enemy with spiraling blades ablaze, flames dancing across the sky like a full moon, building up Focus.
Heavy Attack Heavy Attack: Moon Chase Unleash a series of dash attacks. When at full Focus, Dodging in any direction and following it with a Heavy Attack performs a powerful new move.
Full Focus Attack Dodge + Heavy Attack Build up full focus to execute a powerful attack. To perform this move, dodge and execute a heavy attack.

Get Red Tides by Defeating Guangzhi

Additionally, this transformation also proves useful when surrounded by enemies as it specializes in Area of Damage attacks.

Azure Dust Spells

Heavy Attack Heavy Attack: Mountain Splitter Dash forward with full force. Fully charge to dash further, ramming all enemies in your path.
