Skill Mechanics and Talent Priority

Normal Attack: Oath of Hunting Shadows

Performs up to 5 consecutive sword strikes.
Not recommended to level up as main damage comes from Elemental Skill.

Elemental Skill: Hunter's Vigil

Cooldown: 16s. Duration: 7.5s.

Enters Vigil state, converting Normal Attacks to ranged Electro gunshots and Elemental Skill to Electro thrust.
Damage is considered Normal Attack DMG but cannot be overridden by other elements.
Core Mechanic — Bond of Life:
- Bond < 100%: Gunshots (pierce enemies, deal higher DMG, generate Bond of Life).
- Bond ≥ 100%: Thrust (consumes Bond to heal and deal higher DMG).
Self-healing makes her less reliant on healers.

Elemental Burst: Last Lightfall

Energy Cost: 60. Cooldown: 15s.

Deals massive Electro AoE DMG.
Grants Bond of Life equal to 102% of Max HP (at Talent Lv.7).
