Warriors and heroes, prepare your gear to welcome this unparalleled beauty! As a seasoned observer of the martial world, I am thrilled to bring you a comprehensive analysis of this enchantress with dual forms.
First, let us acquaint ourselves with the basic information of this extraordinary beauty:
Rarity: 5 Stars
Element: Wind
Weapon: Swift Blade
This lady’s base configuration is already captivating. Let us now delve into the details of her divine weapon.
Divine Weapon: Kathryne
Base Attack: 413 | HP: 77.0%

This divine weapon indeed lives up to its reputation. Let us now uncover the secrets of this heroine’s ultimate skills.
Her combat style can be summarized as follows:
She enters the stage with a variation, performs four consecutive sword techniques, randomly casts an E skill and lands an attack, activates her ultimate skill, continues with basic attacks, and releases her E skill whenever possible. Once her second ultimate skill is ready, she casts it immediately.
Though it sounds complex, rest assured, let us break it down step by step.
Basic Attack: Kathryne
She performs up to four consecutive sword strikes, dealing Wind damage. This attack also applies the Erosion Effect. After the fourth basic attack, she applies two layers of Erosion Effect to the target and summons a shadow of the Divine Sword.
Charged Attack: Kathryne
Consumes stamina to strike the target with force, dealing Wind damage, applying two layers of Erosion Effect, and summoning a shadow of the Strange Sword.
Aerial Attack: Kathryne
Consumes stamina to slash the target from mid-air, dealing Wind damage, which is also considered Erosion Effect damage. After casting the aerial attack, she recalls all sword shadows on the field. The damage and range of the subsequent ground attack are enhanced based on the types of sword shadows recalled. She also gains the power of Human Right, Divine Intent, and Strange Might.
Dodge Counter: Kathryne
After a successful dodge, she quickly counterattacks, immobilizing the target, dealing Wind damage, and applying Erosion Effect damage.
Resonance Skill: This Sword in the Name of Man
She attacks the target, briefly knocking them back and slamming them to the ground, dealing Wind damage and applying two layers of Erosion Effect. This damage is treated as basic attack damage and also as Erosion Effect damage. After casting the resonance skill, she summons a shadow of the Human Sword.
Resonance Release: The Knight’s Prayer from the Heart
Kathryne transforms into Fructis, gaining a new combat form. Her HP drops to 50% of its maximum value, and she gains a 60% increase in Wind damage. She enters a Manifestation state that lasts for 12 seconds. During this state, any of Fructis’ attacks can accumulate Resolve. When Resolve reaches 120 points, she can unleash her Resonance Release: The Furious Blade of the Stormy Seas.
Resonance Circuit: The Storm
Fructis’ basic attacks, aerial attacks, charged attacks, and resonance skills can all accumulate Resolve.
