Arlan GUIDE
Understand Arlan
Useful when…
- Use his Skill for single-target Lightning damage when its HP cost is manageable.
- Use his Ultimate to hit a target and adjacent enemies.
- Consider his kit when the team can keep him alive while he operates at reduced HP.
HP cost and damage condition
Arlan’s Skill consumes 15% of his Max HP and deals Lightning damage to one enemy. If he does not have enough HP to pay the cost, the Skill reduces him to 1 HP. His Talent grants a damage bonus based on his current missing HP, capped at a 36% increase.
Combat use and Technique
His Ultimate deals Lightning damage to one target and adjacent enemies, giving him some area coverage around a selected target. His Technique immediately attacks an enemy and deals Lightning damage to all enemies upon entering battle. These attacks use ATK scaling in the listed descriptions. [Ability descriptions and initial parameters.]
Improvement priorities and investment
Skill and Talent levels are the most directly connected to his HP-cost and missing-HP damage mechanics; Ultimate levels matter if its adjacent-target coverage is a frequent part of his combat use. The trace tree offers ATK boosts, with HP and Effect RES boosts as defensive options. Promotion raises level separately from trace levels. A listed level 9-to-10 step for Skill, Ultimate, or Talent costs 240,000 Credits, 11 Worldbreaker Blades, one Track of Destiny, and one Destroyer’s Final Road, so compare the high-level cost with how often you field him. [Upgrade examples.]
Risks and alternatives
His Skill can reduce him to 1 HP if current HP cannot cover its cost, and the damage bonus encourages missing HP; this makes a careless Skill use hazardous. Ashveil shares Lightning and Hunt, Gilgamesh shares Lightning and Destruction, and Kafka shares Lightning but Nihility. Their listed elemental and Path labels do not establish that they share Arlan’s HP-costing Skill or missing-HP mechanic. [Candidate details.]
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The Skill spends a portion of Arlan’s own Max HP and can leave him at 1 HP when he lacks enough HP.
- The Talent’s damage bonus scales with missing HP, creating a direct tension between damage and safety.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using the Skill at low HP without accounting for its 15% Max HP cost and possible reduction to 1 HP.
- Treating the maximum Talent bonus as always active; it depends on current missing HP.
- Investing as though his Skill were cost-free to his survival.
