| Nightshade Synthesis – Ascension Talent 1 | When party members trigger a Nightsoul Burst, Ororon will recover 40 Nightsoul points. For 15s after using his Elemental Skill, Ororon will recover 5 Nightsoul points after characters other than himself hit opponents with Hydro or Electro DMG. This can only be triggered up to 10 times during its duration, and he can recover Nightsoul points this way once every 0.3s. Nightsoul points can be consumed in the following ways: – After nearby opponents are attacked by Electro-Charged or by Nightsoul-aligned attacks (from characters other than Ororon). – If he has 10 or more Nightsoul points, Ororon will enter the Nightsoul’s Blessing state for 6s and trigger the “Electric Induction” effect: Deal Electro DMG equal to 130% of his ATK to up to 4 nearby opponents and consume 10 Nightsoul points. This effect can be triggered once every 1.8s. |

| Flowing Fog, Spirietly Shadows – Natlan Talent | While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Ororon. When the active character is currently sprinting, in a movement mode caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Ororon: Ororon will leap up high. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s. Holding Aiming Mode will activate Ororon’s ‘Spiritseeker‘ state which lets him interact with Nightspirit Graffiti and Nightspirit Sigils to extract information and power from them. Holding the Jump button will cause Ororon to consume 75 Stamina and leap. In areas within Natlan where phlogiston mechanics are present, Ororon will prioritize consuming 5 Phlogiston to leap to a height higher still. Ororon can hold his Normal Attack in the air to consume phlogiston or stamina to enter Aiming Mode. |
