Overview
Vodyanitsa heals and buffs the active Character through her Skill. She supports Hydro, Cryo and Stellar Swirl teams while spending little time on the field.
Role
Off-field healer and damage buffer.
Playstyle
Use her Skill, then switch to your damage dealer. Add her Burst only when the rotation needs it.
Why It Works
Her Skill keeps supporting the active Character after she switches out, with buffs that scale with HP.
Watch For
She cannot enable Stellar Swirl alone, and her Hydro application can consume the Cryo aura it needs.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Skill → switch to the intended buff recipient → damage window → refresh Skill.
Key Notes
Lead Vocal and Chorus are separate shared allowances for active and off-field damage.
The HP-based ascension buff starts above 40,000 Max HP and reaches its stated maximum at 65,000.
Her Burst supplies damage rather than the Skill's core support effects.
