Lisa

Electro catalyst attacker with a charged skill and defensive burst utility

Released Sep 28, 2020

Lisa is an Electro catalyst user whose skill can be tapped for a quick homing hit or held for a stronger strike that gains damage from Conductive stacks. Her burst creates a persistent lightning field that knocks opponents back and lowers their DEF when it hits. Consider her when you can use the stack-and-hold skill or want repeated Electro damage from the burst.

Lisa GUIDE

Understand Lisa

Useful when…

  • Applying Electro with catalyst attacks
  • Building Conductive stacks before a held skill strike
  • Dealing repeated Electro damage and reducing enemy DEF with her burst

Violet Arc: press and hold

Pressing Violet Arc sends a homing Lightning Orb; at the listed talent level it deals 80% damage and has a 1-second cooldown. Hits apply Conductive, up to three stacks. Holding the skill has a 16-second cooldown and takes an extended casting time; the hit deals more damage according to the number of Conductive stacks, then clears those stacks. The listed level-one multipliers are 320% with no stacks, 368% with one, 424% with two, and 487.2% with three. Charged attacks also apply Conductive through Induced Aftershock, so they can contribute stacks before the hold.

Burst and defense reduction

Lightning Rose lasts 15 seconds, deals continuous Electro damage, and launches or knocks back surrounding opponents. Its cooldown is 20 seconds and Energy cost is 80 at the listed talent level. Opponents hit by Lightning Rose have their DEF reduced by 15% for 10 seconds. This makes the burst useful for sustained field damage and a temporary defense debuff, though the supplied effect does not specify the range or exact number of discharges.

Investment and handling tradeoffs

If you use Lisa for the hold skill, its talent is a natural investment target; burst investment is relevant if you use Lightning Rose for repeated hits and its DEF reduction. Raise normal attacks when you rely on her catalyst strikes, including charged attacks to apply Conductive. This is role-dependent guidance. Her charged attack costs 50 Stamina at the listed level, and the hold skill requires time to cast. Each combat talent can be raised to level 10; the level 9-to-10 example costs 700,000 Mora, talent materials, Dvalin's Claw, and a Crown of Insight. Her potion crafting passive gives a 20% chance to refund a portion of materials used.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The hold skill requires a longer casting time and has a 16-second cooldown.
  • Charged attacks consume 50 Stamina, and Conductive stacks are cleared by the held skill.
  • The burst costs 80 Energy and has a 20-second cooldown.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Holding Violet Arc without building Conductive stacks and expecting the stacked damage values.
  • Expecting Conductive stacks to remain after the held skill hits; the skill clears them.
  • Assuming the burst's DEF reduction applies to opponents it has not hit.
