Overview
Severian is a Wind Attack Agent who builds Flow through Basic Attacks and Perfect Dodges, then spends it on Azure Wind’s Shadowhunt. Shadowflash gives him automatic dodge counters, while Windborne lets him return to the field with a special entry.
Role
On-field Wind damage dealer with dodge-based resource generation.
Playstyle
Keep his Basic combo moving, time attacks or dodges against enemy hits, and hold Basic at 100 Flow for the enhanced attack. Use EX Special to replenish Shadowflash, then refresh team buffs when a damage window ends.
Why It Works
Perfect Dodges feed both Flow and Windborne, so defensive timing also supports his damage loop. Another Wind Agent grants an additional Core damage bonus, and CRIT Rate also provides ATK when his Additional Ability is active.
Watch For
Bring a Support, Stun or same-faction teammate for his Additional Ability. Shadowflash only responds to eligible incoming attacks while he is not invulnerable; it does not bypass every enemy control attack. Spend Flow before reaching its cap.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Prepare support buffs and Stun → Basic combo / Perfect Dodge → EX Special: replenish Shadowflash → 100 Flow: hold Basic → Refresh teammates and repeat
Key Notes
Flow normally caps at 150 and the enhanced Basic costs 100. The Ultimate grants 100 Flow, the Chain Attack grants 35, and the fourth normal Basic hit grants 20 on hit. Plan those gains around the finisher instead of wasting them at the cap.
Raging Whirlwind grants 15 Flow on activation and another 20 on hit. Holding Basic during it quickly launches Azure Wind’s Shadowhunt; its final hit then restores 20 Flow. A successful backward dodge during the enhanced attack triggers Vital View and grants another 15.
EX Special grants one Shadowflash stack, or another if you hold it until the maximum Energy is consumed. Shadowflash holds two stacks; gaining another at the cap grants Windborne and enhances the next Swift Edge instead.
Windborne enables Clear Out when switching him into combat, and that entry counts as a Quick Assist. It is not a heavy attack. Keep this distinction in mind when selecting effects that require a particular attack type.
Level Basic first for his main finishers and improve Core for its CRIT DMG and damage bonuses. Chain/Ultimate and EX Special improve their own attacks; Dodge and Assist remain useful but do not replace the Basic-centered loop.
Start with Severian, Roxy and Sunna for Wind, Stun and support coverage, or replace Roxy with Norma for a different Stun setup. These recommendations follow their kits; they are not measured team rankings for a newly released Agent.

Basic hits, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters build its ATK stacks. Keep attacking to maintain them; this engine does not provide the signature’s CRIT Rate or Wind RES ignore effect.
Craftable alternative · A
Starlight Engine
A Dodge Counter or Quick Assist activates its ATK buff. Clear Out counts as a Quick Assist, so his entry can refresh the effect. An ordinary switch alone does not activate it.

Adds Wind RES ignore and improves Flow recovery through Chain Attacks and the enhanced Basic. Clear Out becomes a Chain Attack once every 60 seconds while keeping its entry classification; this is a practical resource improvement as well as a damage bonus.
M2
Starts combat with 150 Flow and grants 20% PEN Ratio for 25 seconds after a Perfect Dodge or the enhanced Basic. The opening Flow has a 180-second restriction in Investigation Zone mode, so do not assume it refreshes with every switch.

Core Skill & Additional Ability
Core Passive: Endless Breeze
Severian's CRIT DMG increases by 60%, and his DMG increases by 25%. If there is another Wind character in the squad, his DMG increases by an additional 30%. When Severian uses Basic Attack: Swift Edge just before being hit by an enemy attack, he can dodge the attack. If he dodges it with any of the first three hits of his Basic Attack, he automatically launches Basic Attack: Raging Whirlwind. If he dodges it with the 4th hit, that Basic Attack's DMG Multiplier and Daze Multiplier are increased to match Basic Attack: Raging Whirlwind. When Severian enters the battlefield, he gains 2 stacks of Shadowflash. This effect can trigger once every 180s in Investigation Zone mode. When Severian has Shadowflash and is not invulnerable, if he is hit by a non-Control Skill enemy attack that he fails to actively dodge or parry, he consumes 1 stack of Shadowflash to automatically dodge the attack and launch Basic Attack: Raging Whirlwind. Successfully dodging an enemy attack with Basic Attack: Swift Edge, automatically dodging an enemy attack with Shadowflash, or directly dodging an enemy attack all count as a Perfect Dodge. Shadowflash can stack up to 2 times. If Severian gains Shadowflash while already possessing maximum stacks, he gains 1 stack of Windborne instead, and the next Basic Attack: Swift Edge is enhanced to Basic Attack: Raging Whirlwind. Each time Severian performs a Perfect Dodge, he gains 1 stack of Windborne. While Severian has Windborne and is in combat, press [Assist] to switch him from off-field to on-field and launch an Entry Skill. Severian gains Flow by hitting enemies with certain skills or triggering a Perfect Dodge. Flow is capped at 150 points.
