How to play

Dawn - Fundamentals
  • Hitting enemies with a Blue Orb Ping or Yellow Orb Ping tags them with a Lightning Mark
    • Up to 3 Lightning Marks can be stacked onto the same enemy, indicated by the number of lit lightning bolt icons above the enemy
    • Lightning Marks have a 12 second duration, after which all Lightning Marks on that enemy will expire
    • Lightning Mark's duration will be refreshed on another Blue Orb Ping or Yellow Orb Ping hit
  • Casting Signature Move will activate Lotus Blade for 15 seconds
    • Any attacks launched by Dawn will trigger synchronized attacks from Lotus Blade that deal Lightning DMG
  • Landing a hit on an enemy with Lightning Marks has a chance to cause additional Lightning DMG on that hit
    • This chance is 25%/50%/75%, based on the number of Lightning Marks currently stacked onto that enemy
  • Mark enemies with Lightning Marks, then use high hit count attack sequences such as Dawn's Red Orb Ping and any attacks launched with Lotus Blade active to trigger as many additional Lightning DMG instances as possible
Dawn - Additional Information
  • Only the first hit of the Blue Orb Ping and Yellow Orb Ping will apply a Lightning Mark; damage done by the fields deployed by Yellow Orb Pings cannot apply Lightning Marks
  • Recasting Lotus Blade before it expires will refresh its duration back to 15 seconds
    • This recast has a much shorter casting time and still grants invulnerability frames
  • Lotus Blade's duration continues counting down even when Dawn is off-field
Dawn - Leap Adjustments
  • Lotus Blade's duration will now pause while Dawn is off-field
  • Casting or recasting Lotus Blade will grant Dawn a 10% Extra DMG Bonus buff for 10 seconds, and regenerate a total of 20 Signature Energy over that period
  • The chance of triggering additional Lightning DMG when hitting an enemy with Lightning Marks increases to 50%/75%/100% based on the number of Lightning Marks on that enemy
    • The additional Lighting DMG dealt from these triggers is further increased
  • Red Orb 3-Pings deal increased damage and weakly pull in nearby enemies
    • If Lotus Blade is active when a Red Orb 3-Ping is cast, Basic Attack can be held down to trigger a follow-up attack that dashes Dawn through enemies in front of her
