Transcendant Exclusive Skills

This Transcendant's Exclusive skill is implemented during Wandering Dream with Whale patch.

Counter

Chainblade Tango

Continuously holding the dodge button will consume stamina and allow Roland to evade an enemy’s All-Out Attack. When successful, Roland counterattacks with his powerful Chainblade Tango, snatching the target with his chain blade and flinging them into the air, then slamming them down behind him. Chainblade Tango deals 6% / 8% / 10% / 12% of the target's max HP as Fire DMG and reduces their Execution meter by 15% / 20% / 25% / 30% based on Roland’s class rank, and deals 165% Fire DMG to nearby targets.

Level 9 — Increases Execution meter reduction rate by 10% (does not apply to Counter and Parry).
Level 18 — Increases Execution meter reduction rate to 20% (does not apply to Counter and Parry).

Execution

Farewell Finale

After reducing an enemy’s Execution meter to 0, tap on the basic attack button while within range of the target to unleash the Execution Move: Farewell Finale. Roland raises his leg to trip the enemy and steps on them, delivering a shot straight to the target’s head and eliminating them. This knocks nearby enemies into the air and deals 600% Fire DMG.

Level 9 — Increases Execution meter reduction rate by 10% (does not apply to Counter and Parry).
Level 18 — Increases Execution meter reduction rate to 20% (does not apply to Counter and Parry).

Counter Enhancement

	Counter Enhancement
	After snatching an enemy with Chainblade Tango, you can use the joystick to aim the direction where the target will be slammed down. This grants Roland 1 Blaze Orb (8s cooldown). Blaze Orbs gained in this manner stack with Roland's Signature Move, but not with each other. (Unlock requirement: Chainblade Tango reaches Lv 9.)

Team Strengthening

	Team Strengthening
	After any Transcendant uses their Execution Move, heals the user for 20% of their max HP and increases the Fire DMG of all Transcendants by 10% for 15s. (Unlock requirement: Both Chainblade Tango and Farewell Finale reach Lv 18.)

Execution Enhancement

Tapping the basic attack button immediately after hitting an enemy with any of Roland’s chainblade or melee attacks drags them within range of his Execution Move. After using Farewell Finale and switching to a different character, Roland will swing his chainblade across the battlefield and fire 8 explosive rounds that deal 1600% Fire DMG in total.

(Unlock requirement: Farewell Finale reaches Lv 9.)
