Vodyanitsa will be arriving in Genshin Impact during the Version 7.1 Update. They are a 5-star Hydro element character currently thought to be a healer/DPS who will wield a catalyst. Although we dont know much yet here are their known abilities from currently known information from Seele_Leaks.
What Abilities and Skills Does Vodyanitsa Use?
Normal Attack (Mermaid’s Dance):
Normal Attack — Mermaid’s Dance Lv.6
Normal Attack
Performs up to four consecutive sonic attacks, dealing Hydro DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina. After a brief charge, fires a water ball that deals Hydro DMG.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air, attacking enemies along the path and dealing AoE Hydro DMG upon landing.
Elemental Skill: (Mermaid’s Overture):
Vodyanitsa transforms into a mermaid, dealing Hydro DMG, then enters the Microphone Summoning state, during which she continuously summons microphones to perform for a period of time.
During this state, microphones periodically appear on the field and attack enemies in coordination with the active character, dealing Hydro DMG and reducing the enemies’ Hydro and Cryo RES.
While the microphones are being summoned, the active character’s interruption resistance is increased, and they are periodically healed.
Elemental Burst: (Mermaid’s Aria):
Vodyanitsa sings to her heart’s content, dealing AoE Hydro DMG to enemies.
If she is currently in the Microphone Performance state, this damage receives an
additional increase.
Ascension Passives:
Ascension Talent 1
During the duration of her Elemental Skill, Stellar Swirls generated by the Team are
converted into Stellar Vortices.
When a Stellar Vortex is generated or detonated, nearby enemies’ Anemo RES is reduced
by 30% for 6s.
Ascension Talent 2
Upon entering the Microphone Summoning state, Vodyanitsa gains 17 stacks of “Solo”
and 10 stacks of “Ensemble.”
Passive Talent
While out of combat, holding the Elemental Skill continuously consumes Stamina,
allowing Vodyanitsa to move at high speed in her mermaid form.
During this state, she can move across the surface of the water. The state ends after a
certain duration, when her Stamina is depleted, or when the Elemental Skill is cast
again.
Additionally, while swimming, Vodyanitsa can consume more Stamina in exchange for
increased movement speed…
Utility Passive
When Vodyanitsa plays an instrument, instead of producing the instrument’s original
sound, it is replaced by her own a cappella vocals.
Constellations:
C1
Whenever Vodyanitsa heals, nearby Team members gain ATK based on 0.7% of Vodyanitsa’s Max HP for 3s.
C2
Whenever a microphone attacks, Vodyanitsa gains the “Ensemble” effect, increasing the active character’s Hydro and Cryo CRIT DMG by 50% for 5s.
If a Stellar Vortex is currently present or has recently been present on the field, “Ensemble” is transformed into “Variation,” increasing the active character’s Stellar Swirl CRIT DMG by 60% for 5s.
Additionally, the duration of the Elemental Skill’s microphone summons is extended by 9s.
C4
Whenever Vodyanitsa heals, she gains different effects based on the HP of the character being healed.
If the healed character has less than 40% HP, the healing amount of this instance is increased by 50%.
If the healed character has more than 40% HP, Vodyanitsa’s own Max HP is increased by 20% for 6s, stacking up to 3 times. Each stack has an independent duration.
C6
The “Ensemble” or “Variation” effects from C2 now affect all nearby Team members.
Additionally, while the Elemental Skill’s microphones are active, nearby Team members deal 25% increased Stellar Swirl DMG, and their Hydro and Cryo DMG is increased by 50%.
