Skills & Passives
Red Orb
Comet Propulsion
Karenina discharges anti-gravity energy with her sledgehammer, propelling herself forward to deal 190% / 280% / 570% Dark DMG to enemies in front of her.
Yellow Orb
Gravity Beacon
Karenina leaps into the air and switches her sledgehammer into cannon form, firing a gravity bomb at the ground that pulls and slows down nearby enemies for a short period of time, dealing 150% / 300% / 450% Dark DMG and applying Chain Fusion (reduces the target’s Dark Resistance by 15%) for 3s. Karenina gains an Anti Gravity shield equal to 3% / 6% / 10% of her maximum HP that stacks up to 50%. If Karenina pings another Blue Orb or Yellow Orb during this time, she will remain attacking and fire again, dealing damage based on the number of Orbs pinged.
Blue Orb
Trailing Orbit
Karenina switches her sledgehammer into cannon form and fires a gravity bomb in front of her that pulls enemies within range into a straight line and deals 220% / 440% / 660% Dark DMG. If Karenina pings another Blue Orb or Yellow Orb during this time, she will remain attacking and fires again, dealing damage based on the number of Orbs pinged.
Basic Attack
Starfell Hammer
Deals a total of 500% Dark DMG.
Core
Wandering Deep Space
If Karenina possesses at least 1 set of 3-Pings in her current lineup (the first eight Orbs displayed), hold the Basic Attack button to enter charging mode. Karenina will consume up to 2 sets of 3-Pings and gain 20 Anti Gravity Energy per 3-Ping. While charging, Karenina gains Super Armor and 50% / 80% / 90% Extra DMG Reduction based on the number of 3-Pings consumed but is unable to dodge.
Karenina will then unleash Soaring Strike, leaping into the air to deal 750% Dark DMG and entering Anti Gravity mode. The base DMG of Soaring Strike is increased by 200% if charged with 2 sets of 3-Pings. Karenina gains 50% Extra DMG Reduction and Super armor during Anti Gravity mode. While Karenina is in the air, tap the Basic Attack button repeatedly to perform a Radiant Spin that deals 10% Dark DMG. Each Basic Attack increases her air time and spinning speed. Karenina will trigger Gravity Overload upon landing on the ground, gaining 20 Signature Move Energy and dealing 300% Dark DMG. If Karenina has at least 20 Anti Gravity Energy remaining, she will automatically consume 20 Anti Gravity Energy and leap into the air again, exiting Anti Gravity Mode when she no longer has enough Anti Gravity Energy to continue. Any remaining Anti Gravity Energy is cleared upon exiting Anti Gravity Mode.
Radiant Spin generates 7 Kinetic Energy per hit and 21 Kinetic Energy per Basic Attack (up to 999 Kinetic Energy). Using Karenina’s Signature Move consumes all Kinetic Energy and increases the Extra DMG Bonus of Star Shatter Horizon by 0.12% each (up to +100%).
Pressing the Dodge button during Anti Gravity mode will consume Dodge Gauge to perform Aerial Maneuvers, pulling in nearby enemies and knocking them into the air to deal 200% Dark DMG, and restoring 20 Anti Gravity Energy and 20 Signature Move Energy (can be triggered once every 10s). Extreme Dodges will trigger Reverse Repulsion, pulling in nearby enemies and knocking them into the air to deal 400% Dark DMG, and restoring 500 Dodge Gauge (can be triggered once every 10s).
If Karenina enters charging mode after triggering Matrix, the Orb-tripling effect from Matrix will be consumed and regarded as a single 3-Ping.
