How to play
Kaleido - Fundamentals
Perform a 3-Ping to store its color in the Secondary Color Coolant slot, then hold Basic Attack to perform a Sweep attack
This Sweep attack clears the current Secondary Color and stores the Main Color as 1 Backup Paint
Up to 3 Backup Paints can be stored at a time
Cast Signature Move to enter the Painter's Realm, gain a free 3-Ping, and rearrange existing orbs into more 3-Pings
Ping any Signal Orb to begin riding Kaleido's gunlance
If this ping is a 3-Ping, Finishing Touch's Base DMG will be increased by 20%, indicated by the on-screen gauge, up to a max increase of 100% from five 3-Pings
Colliding with an enemy on the gunlance after pinging a Signal Orb will damage enemies within range
If Kaleido has any Backup Paints, 1 will be spent on hit to gain a set of 3-Pings in that color
Signature Move can be cast at any time with Painter's Realm active to perform Finishing Touch, dealing Ice DMG in a large area and clearing the Painter's Realm
Finishing Touch will leave an Improvisation behind that lasts 5 seconds and heals allies standing within the area
Kaleido - Additional Information
Both Finishing Touch and the initial activation of Painter's Realm trigger Time Lag Calculation
Kaleido automatically performs a free Blue Orb 3-Ping when switched in during combat, filling the Secondary Color Coolant slot and allowing for an easy Sweep attack to gain 1 Backup Paint
Sweep attacks have Super Armor, grant Kaleido 15 Signature Energy, and heal her and nearby allies on cast
If the colors in the Main Color and Secondary Color Coolant slots match, the Sweep attack grants Kaleido a 6 second Ice DMG increase
If the colors in the Main Color and Secondary Color Coolant slots differ, the Sweep attack grants Kaleido a 6 second Extra DMG Bonus increase
At SS3-Rank, either Sweep attack will grant both the Ice DMG and Extra DMG Bonus increase simultaneously
Kaleido will dismount from her gunlance if either Dodge is held or no orbs are pinged within a certain period, and will remount upon pinging another Signal Orb
Pinging a 3-Ping immediately before triggering Finishing Touch will duplicate that color into the Secondary Color Coolant slot
