Black Swan

Wind Nihility damage dealer who builds Arcana through damage-over-time applications

Released Feb 6, 2024

Black Swan applies Arcana, a stacking Wind damage-over-time effect, and increases its pressure through enemy turns, allied DoT applications, and her Ultimate’s Epiphany state. Consider her when the team can apply DoT repeatedly and fights allow enemies to take turns, since Arcana’s main damage and additional effects resolve at the start of enemy turns.

Black Swan GUIDE

Understand Black Swan

Useful when…

Adding stacking Wind DoT against enemies who receive repeated DoT
Applying DEF reduction to a target and its adjacent enemies
Increasing damage taken during Epiphany and temporarily preserving Arcana stacks

How does Arcana function?

Her Talent gives each enemy hit by DoT at the start of its turn a 50% base chance to receive one Arcana stack. Arcana then deals Wind DoT based on Black Swan’s ATK, with each stack adding to its damage multiplier; after damage resolves, the listed Talent resets the stack count to one. It can stack to eight. At three or more stacks, Arcana can deal Wind DoT to adjacent enemies and try to apply Arcana to them; at seven or more, that instance ignores 20% of DEF for the target and adjacent targets. Her Skill damages one enemy and adjacent targets, with base chances to apply Arcana and reduce their DEF. The Ultimate damages all enemies and applies Epiphany for two turns; enemies take increased damage during their turns, and Arcana stacks do not reset after damage for one trigger during that duration.

How do her attacks build pressure?

The Basic Attack can apply Arcana and has an additional chance against enemies suffering Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, or Shock. The Skill offers area coverage and a DEF reduction chance, making it useful for several enemies at once. Her Technique starts the next battle with repeated Arcana application attempts on each enemy; each successive attempt has half the prior attempt’s base chance. These mechanics make repeated DoT applications and enemy turns useful conditions, while the Ultimate’s Epiphany can preserve Arcana stacks through one damage trigger at the listed level. A second supplied ability family describes different Arcana timing and stacking behavior, so do not combine it with the first description.

Where is investment most useful?

The Talent governs Arcana’s DoT and its stack thresholds, so prioritize it for the central damage mechanic. The Skill is next relevant for area Arcana application and DEF reduction; the Ultimate supports team damage and stack retention during Epiphany. The listed bonus traces include Effect Hit Rate, ATK, and Wind DMG, which align with her debuff and damage functions. Basic Attack is a smaller option but can still add Arcana applications. Choose the active trace family only; the duplicate 11307-series listings are not a second set to purchase.

What are the practical limits?

Arcana’s listed damage resolves at the start of an enemy turn, so it does not deliver its main DoT on application. Application chances are base chances, and the Technique’s repeated attempts become less likely each time. Arcana’s eight-stack limit and the listed post-damage reset mean stack count matters around an enemy’s turn; Epiphany only suspends that reset for its stated limited trigger. The alternate ability family instead describes different application timing and stack behavior, so its claims should not be layered onto this Talent description.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Arcana’s principal damage resolves on enemy turns, so the timing depends on enemies taking turns.
Arcana application uses base chances; successive Technique attempts have declining chances.
An alternate ability family describes changed mechanics and should not be combined with the primary kit.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting Arcana’s Talent damage to resolve immediately when stacks are applied; it triggers at the start of an enemy turn.
Combining the two supplied Arcana descriptions into one kit.
Treating the Technique’s repeated Arcana applications as equally likely; each successive attempt has half the previous base chance.

From Façade to Vérité · version 2 · Technique

After Technique is used, there is a 150% base chance for each enemy to be inflicted with 1 stack of "Arcana" at the start of the next battle. For each successful application of "Arcana" on a target, inflicts another stack of "Arcana" on the same target. This process repeats until "Arcana" fails to be inflicted on this target. For each successive application of "Arcana" on a target, its base chance of success is equal to 50% of the base chance of the previous successful infliction of "Arcana" on that target.
