Up to four forward attacks dealing Wind DMG. The 4th hit banks 20 [Flow] and carries its own dodge window — dodging an attack with it upgrades the hit and banks another 15 [Flow]. He is invulnerable through the 4th hit, and dodging mid-string does not drop the combo counter.
Fires automatically when an attack catches him during the first three Basic Attack hits, or when [Flicker] eats a hit for him. Dashes forward for massive Wind DMG, banks 15 [Flow] plus 20 more on hit, and can be held into Azure Wind Shadow Hunt.
Hold Basic Attack with 100 [Flow] to spend it: a backstep with an active dodge window, then repeated dashing slashes across the field for massive Wind DMG. Dodging during the backstep banks 15 [Flow] back.
A quick dash dodge. A Perfect Dodge from it banks 15 [Flow], at most once every 0.5s.
A dashing attack out of a dodge, dealing Wind DMG.
A rapid forward slash off a Perfect Dodge, dealing Wind DMG. It fires on its own if he is switched out at the moment of the dodge.
Hold Dodge after a backstep to provoke the enemy into attacking him — the setup for the rest of his kit.
Dashes in with claw strikes and slashes for Wind DMG when the active agent is launched.
Parries the incoming attack for heavy Daze. Invulnerable for the duration.
After a Defensive Assist: a slash, a claw strike and a cannon blast in sequence, dealing Wind DMG.
With [Windborne] up, switching him in during combat opens with a heavy Wind DMG slash that counts as a Quick Assist.
Slashes and thrusts at enemies ahead, dealing Wind DMG.
A combo of slashes, claw strikes and a cannon blast for massive Wind DMG, granting 1 stack of [Flicker]. Hold to keep spending Energy on wind blades before the blast; at maximum cost it grants a second stack.
Consecutive forward attacks for massive Wind DMG, banking 35 [Flow].
Rapid successive slashes for massive Wind DMG, banking 100 [Flow] — a full Azure Wind Shadow Hunt.
CRIT DMG +60%. Launching Basic Attack: Swift Edge as an attack is about to land dodges it — during the first three hits that auto-triggers his counter, and on the fourth it upgrades that hit's DMG and Daze. Entering the field grants 2 stacks of [Flicker] (once every 180s in Investigation Zone); while he holds [Flicker] and is not already invulnerable, a non-Control attack that would hit him instead spends a stack to dodge automatically and counter. Dodging this way is what keeps [Flow] filling.
Active when the squad holds a Stun or Support agent, or a second New Eridu Public Security member: entering combat or switching in grants +100 ATK, scaling by +10 per character level to a maximum of +700, for 30s. Re-triggering refreshes it.
[Flow] caps at 150 instead of 120 and his Chain Attack banks 50. Entering the field with his Entry Skill replaces it with his Chain Attack once every 60s, and his Basic Attack DMG rises by 70%.
Entering the field restores 150 [Flow] (once every 180s in Investigation Zone). A Perfect Dodge or an Azure Wind Shadow Hunt grants +20% PEN Ratio for 25s.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack and Chain Attack levels +2.
His Additional Ability grants a further +8% ATK, and Blazing Spiral or Azure Wind Shadow Hunt raises his Decibel generation by 10% for 15s.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack and Chain Attack levels +2.
[Flow] caps at 180 and entry restores 180. The final hit of Azure Wind Shadow Hunt gains a flat +350% DMG multiplier and grants [Wind Rise], banking 5 [Flow] per second for 5s.
