Vodyanitsa's Talents
Normal Attack
Sings an ancient song of the Water Imps, unleashing up to 4 strikes. This deals Hydro DMG to the opponent.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to hurl a water ball forward, dealing Hydro DMG.
Plunging Attack
Plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents along the path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Reveals her true Water Imp form, dealing AoE Hydro DMG and gaining the Song of Ages Past effect: While this effect is active, Vodyanitsa summons the ancient Horn of Spring's Call, periodically moving closer to an opponent in a swift movement to attack them, dealing Hydro DMG.
The above two types of attacks will also decrease the Hydro RES and Cryo RES of opponents hit. Additionally, while the Song of Ages Past effect is active, the party's active character gains increased resistance to interruption and periodically regenerates HP based on Vodyanitsa's Max HP.
Leads a song of the Water Imps which lures its listeners to their doom. This deals AoE Hydro DMG to the opponent.
When in the Song of Ages Past state, DMG dealt is further increased.
Vodyanitsa's Ascension Passive Talents
When the Elemental Skill Rechitativ: Sonorous Dawn is used, any Stellar Vortex on the field will turn into a Wandering Vortex instead. While the Song of Ages Past effect is active, nearby party members' Stellar Swirl reactions will generate Wandering Vortex instead.
Generating or detonating a Wandering Vortex will also reduce nearby opponents' Anemo RES by 35% for 6s.
Additionally, nearby party members who enter the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state while Song of Ages Past is in effect will have the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state extended by 4s.
When the Elemental Skill Rechitativ: Sonorous Dawn is used, Vodyanitsa will also gain 25 stacks of Lead Vocal as well as 10 stacks of Chorus.
The two effects above last 30s each, and the stack count is refreshed when the Elemental Skill is used.
Holding the Elemental Skill outside of combat will cause Vodyanitsa to embody her true Water Imp form and swim for up to 10s at the cost of Stamina. Naturally, as a Water Imp, she can also move across the water's surface. Vodyanitsa will exit her Water Imp form when the Elemental Skill is used again, when the duration ends, or when all Stamina is depleted.
Additionally, while Vodyanitsa can swim faster, her Stamina consumption rate is also increased.
As the Prima Donna of the Korolevskiy Troupe, Vodyanitsa sings in person in place of playing an instrument.
Vodyanitsa's Constellations

When the Horn of Spring's Call from the Elemental Skill Rechitativ: Sonorous Dawn attacks the opponent, Vodyanitsa gains the "Two Voices in Black and White" effect which increases the CRIT DMG from Hydro DMG and Cryo DMG dealt by the currently active party member by 50% for 5s.
If there is a Wandering Vortex present on the field or in the 5s after a Wandering Vortex explodes, the effect changes to: increases the CRIT DMG from Stellar Swirl reaction DMG caused by the currently active party member by 60% for 5s.
