Core Passive: Dirge of Destiny

When Basic Attack: Featherbloom hits a target suffering an Attribute Anomaly, it triggers Abloom: deals an additional instance of DMG scaled off Vivian's Anomaly Proficiency based on the Anomaly type. When Basic Attack: Fluttering Frock - Suspension or Basic Attack: Featherbloom hits a target suffering any Attribute Anomaly, apply Vivian's Prophecy to the target, causing the target to take Ether DMG equal to 55% of Vivian's ATK every 0.55s. This DMG can trigger the additional DMG of Attribute Anomalies. When the enemy is no longer suffering an Attribute Anomaly, Vivian's Prophecy expires. Upon entering the battlefield, Vivian gains 2 Flight Feathers.
