Charlotte’s Skills
Passive Skill: Splash Gradation
Type: Damage & Crowd Control
- Every skill Charlotte uses counts as an initial skill. When any of her skills hit, her next different skill becomes a follow-up skill, granting her a mark for 4 seconds (up to 3 stacks).
- Upon reaching 3 stacks, her next Basic Attack becomes an enhanced attack, striking 7 times and slowing the target by 12%. The final hit deals bonus physical damage based on the target’s lost health.
- During an enhanced Basic Attack, Charlotte gains 35% damage reduction.
- Follow-up skills apply “Maim,” reducing enemy attack speed by 15% (stacking up to 2 times). Enemies lose 1 stack of Maim with each Basic Attack.
Skill 1: Tri-Slash
Type: Damage
- Initial: Charlotte slashes in a targeted direction, dealing 200 (+100% Physical Attack) physical damage. If it hits an enemy, she gains an 80% movement speed boost that decays over 2 seconds.
- Follow-up: Faster execution with increased damage (260 + 130% Physical Attack), retaining the movement speed boost.
Skill 2: Splash Fount
Type: Damage & Sustain
- Initial: Dashes forward, attacking six times, dealing 40 (+15% Physical Attack) physical damage per hit while restoring 27 (+15% Physical Attack) Health per strike.
- Follow-up: Functions similarly to the initial skill but with a shorter cooldown.
Skill 3: Power Gradation
Type: Damage & Crowd Control
- Initial: Charlotte carves a seven-pointed star, striking nearby enemies up to 3 times, dealing 150 (+70% Physical Attack) physical damage and slowing them by 50% for 1 second. Grants 35% damage reduction and crowd control immunity.
