  • Ice RES reduction and DMG boost from EX/Assist Follow-Ups support Ice DPS heavily

Weaknesses

  • His own signature (The Restrained) is one of his worst W-Engine options — don't use it

Core Passive

Core Passive: Metallic Paws

When Lycaon completes charging during a Basic Attack, or activates a Dodge Counter or Dash Attack, the Daze inflicted by the skill increases by 80%. When EX Special Attack: Thrill of the Hunt, Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack, or Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz hits an enemy, the target's Ice RES is reduced by 25%, and it increases the DMG to the target from other attributes by 30% for 30s. Upon entering the battlefield, Lycaon gains one Encircle Prey activation chance. When Encircle Prey has available activations, hitting an enemy with Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz triggers the Quick Assist of the previous character in the squad. During this skill, when other squad members enter via Quick Assist, Lycaon enters the Encircle Prey state for 8s. When an elite or boss enemy becomes Stunned, 1 Encircle Prey activation chance is gained (max 1 stored). When the Encircle Prey state ends, Lycaon automatically activates Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz. If the Encircle Prey state ends early, for every 1s of remaining duration, the Daze dealt by the next Glacial Waltz increases by 6%. When the currently active character stops attacking or uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, Lycaon will end the Encircle Prey state early. While the Encircle Prey state is active, Lycaon will activate Basic Attack, Dodge, Dash Attack, and Dodge Counter based on the skills used by the currently active character. When the active character uses a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, Lycaon simultaneously performs the 1st through 3rd hits of his Basic Attack. When the active character performs a Dodge or Dodge Counter, Lycaon simultaneously performs a Dodge or Dodge Counter, then can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of his Basic Attack. While off-field during Encircle Prey, his attacks only deal DMG and Daze; while on-field, the Encircle Prey duration does not decrease.

Additional Ability · Elegant Predator

When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same Attribute or Faction: When Lycaon hits a Stunned enemy, the target's Stun DMG Multiplier increases by 35%.
