Vivian's Core Passives
When Basic Attack: Featherbloom hits a target that is suffering from an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, or Ice Anomaly, it will trigger Abloom, dealing additional Attribute Anomaly DMG. The additional DMG is 6.15%/3.2%/8%/0.75%/1.08% per 10 points of Anomaly Proficiency of the original Anomaly DMG.
When Basic Attack: Fluttering Frock - Suspension or Basic Attack: Featherbloom hits a target suffering any Attribute Anomaly, it will inflict Vivian's Prophecy, causing the target to take Ether DMG equal to 55% of Vivian's ATK every 0.55s. This DMG can trigger additional DMG from Attribute Anomalies. Vivian's Prophecy ends when the target is no longer suffering an Attribute Anomaly.
When entering the battlefield, Vivian gains 2 Flight Feathers.
When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same attribute:
Whenever another squad member applies an Attribute Anomaly to an enemy, Vivian will consume 1 Guard Feather to launch Basic Attack: Featherbloom on the target. This can trigger once every 0.5s.
Corruption DMG dealt by all squad members and the Corruption status' Disorder DMG increases by 12%.
