Core Passive: Fatal Concoction

Upon entering the battlefield, gain 3 Venom (once every 180s in Investigation Zone). While possessing Venom, consume 1 Venom every 5s in combat to trigger Corrode Bone (Electric DMG). Corrode Bone deals additional Electric DMG equal to 335% of ATK. With Venom, all squad members ignore 6% of enemy DEF — for every 0.12 Energy Regen above 1.4, ignore an additional 1% DEF (up to 25% total). This effect lasts until 30s after Venom is depleted. When 1/2 Electric characters are in the squad, Corrode Bone Daze increases by 40%/60%. Gaining excess Venom beyond the cap triggers Corrode Bone once per excess point.

Additional Ability · Festering Venom

When another character in your squad is a Stun character or shares the same attribute: while possessing Venom, all squad members gain +40% CRIT DMG (Cissia gains an additional +10%). Effect lasts until 30s after Venom is depleted.
