Understand Citrine
Useful when…
- Support nearby allies with passive health regeneration and Preserving Shell.
- Slash and stagger enemies with Fractured Blast; afflicted enemies have increased chances to drop Health and Energy Orbs.
- Apply Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity Status Effects with Prismatic Gem and raise nearby allies’ Status Chance and Status Duration.
- Paralyze enemies with Crystallize, then hit their crystal growths to deal Critical Damage.
Ability effects and triggers
Fractured Blast slashes and staggers enemies, inflicts Slash Status, and increases Health and Energy Orb drop chances from afflicted enemies. Preserving Shell protects Citrine and nearby allies but gradually decays; kills and assists increase its defensive power. Prismatic Gem targets enemies taking weapon damage from Citrine or her allies. Its beams inflict Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity Status Effects, while nearby allies gain Status Chance and Status Duration. Crystallize sends fractals forward to seek enemies; those touched are paralyzed by crystalline growths, and hitting the growths deals Critical Damage.
Support in practice
Citrine’s passive grants nearby allies health regeneration. Picking up a Health Orb increases that regeneration, up to a maximum, though the supplied values are unresolved. Preserving Shell supplies defense that decays over time, with kills and assists increasing its defensive power. Prismatic Gem’s targeting condition means weapon damage from Citrine or an ally is part of its use; its status boosts support allies nearby. Fractured Blast can pair enemy disruption with increased orb-drop chances against enemies it afflicts.
Stats and configuration
Citrine has 400 Health, 270 Shield, 265 Armor, and 130 Power. Her listed mod polarities are Madurai and Vazarin, with a Naramon aura polarity. These are configuration facts rather than a prescribed investment plan. The passive regeneration amounts and numerical ability scaling are not provided, so the listed effects support qualitative planning only.
Citrine Prime comparison
Citrine Prime’s supplied stats are 400 Health, 270 Shield, and 325 Armor, with Vazarin, Madurai, and Naramon polarities. That is 60 more listed Armor than Citrine; the comparison does not provide additional ability effects. Voruna and Voruna Prime have different listed Health and Armor values, but their short descriptions do not establish that they reproduce Citrine’s healing, shell, or status support.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Preserving Shell gradually decays, so kills and assists matter to its defensive power.
- Prismatic Gem targets enemies taking weapon damage from Citrine or her allies.
- The passive’s regeneration amounts and ability scaling are not specified.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Preserving Shell lasts without decay.
- Expecting Prismatic Gem to target enemies that are not taking weapon damage from Citrine or an ally.
- Treating the unresolved passive values as known regeneration numbers.
- Expecting Crystallize’s Critical Damage effect without hitting the crystal growths.
