Ashveil Traces (Kit and Skills)

Active Abilities

Trace Scaling and Explanation
Basic ATK Talons: Inculcate Decorum: Deals Lightning DMG to one designated enemy.
Skill Flog: Smite Evil: Marks a single designated enemy as "Bait" and deals Lightning DMG to them. If the target is already marked as "Bait," additionally deals Lightning DMG to them and recovers 1 Skill Point. While "Bait" is present on the battlefield, all enemies' DEF is reduced. When there is no "Bait" on the field, Ashveil immediately marks the enemy target with the lowest HP as "Bait." The "Bait" state only applies to the most recently marked target.
Ultimate Banquet: Insatiable Appetite: Makes one designated enemy become the "Bait," dealing Lightning DMG to them. Then, immediately launches 1 instance of enhanced Talent's Follow-Up ATK against the "Bait." And Ashveil gains Charge. This enhanced Talent's Follow-Up ATK does not consume Charge. Whenever "Gluttony" reaches a set number of stacks or more, consumes that set number of stacks of "Gluttony" to additionally deal 1 instance of Lightning DMG. And when this instance of Follow-Up ATK deals a killing blow to the target, it will continue to deal DMG to a new "Bait." This triggers until "Gluttony" becomes lower than the specified number of stacks. If all enemy targets currently on the field have been dealt killing blows, the enhanced Talent's Follow-Up ATK will immediately end.
Talent Rancor: Enmity Reprisal: Ashveil has an initial Charge and can hold up to a certain limit. After the "Bait" gets attacked by other ally targets, Ashveil regenerates a fixed amount of Energy, then consumes 1 Charge to launch Follow-Up ATK against the "Bait," dealing Lightning DMG. Afterwards, gains stacks of "Gluttony," stacking up to certain limit.

Technique and Bonus Abilities

Trace Scaling and Explanation
Technique Devour: O Loathsome Hand: Using the Technique inflicts Daze on enemies within a set range for several seconds. Dazed enemies will not initiate attacks on allies. When attacking a Dazed enemy to enter combat, deals Lightning DMG to all enemies, and Ashveil gains 1 point of Charge.
Bonus Ability First Fang: While Ashveil is on the field, increases CRIT DMG dealt by ally targets and additionally increases CRIT DMG dealt by ally targets' Follow-Up ATKs.
Bonus Ability Phantom Limb: Increases DMG dealt by Ashveil's Follow-Up ATK. Additionally increases Follow-Up ATK DMG by a set percentage for every stack of "Gluttony".
Bonus Ability Damnation Trail: When Ashveil uses his Skill or Ultimate, gains corresponding stacks of "Gluttony." During Ashveil's Follow-Up ATK, he gains 1 stack of "Gluttony" for every enemy that receives a killing blow.
