Character Skill

Whirlwind

Beat wing to whip up a wind-churning cyclone.

Enemies caught in cyclone are drawn toward center. Sweeps away lightweight projectiles. Hold to enlarge range.

Cooldown 13.5 s

Ultimate Art

Wings of Salvation

Leap up and dive back down to raise protective area.

Can move briefly while in air, and diving attack is perfect for rescues. Hold to shield nearby allies from damage.

Passive ability

Steel Guard

Plant feet and brace with shield for a more powerful guard.

Greatly improves guard boost, but prevents running while holding up shield.
