Overview
Valeriy protects the active character with an ATK-scaling shield and uses Impact Momentum to strengthen his support. His Skill supplies the shield and starting Momentum, while his Burst helps build more during an Electro teammate’s field time.
Role
Electro Sword shielder and damage support.
Playstyle
Deploy the shield, build Impact Momentum, then use the special Charged Attack to strengthen Offensive Directive.
Why It Works
ATK strengthens both his shield and the bonus from his support passive.
Watch For
His special Charged Attack needs at least 40 Impact Momentum and consumes all available Momentum.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Skill shield → Burst → Electro teammate attacks → special Charged Attack → return to the main attacker.
Key Notes
Build enough Energy Recharge for the Burst frequency your team uses, then prioritize ATK.
Favonius Sword needs CRIT hits, so retain enough CRIT Rate to trigger its particles reliably.
Heart of the Furnace requires its wearer to trigger the relevant reaction or deal its reaction damage. Check that condition in the chosen team.
