On a wing and a prayer.

Names and details are subject to final EN localization and changes.

Full event details

This new tactical suit is based on the equipment that Katya wore when she participated in the Valkyrie Games. After applying some of her personal design adjustments, it's been significantly modified in both appearance and performance.

Weapon: Assault Rifle
Element: Frost
Role: Skill DPS

Standard Skill: Crystalline Feathers

This skill has multiple charges that can be stored and regenerate over time.

Katya dashes in the target direction and spawns a [Crystal Feather], dealing Frost damage to nearby enemies. If an enemy is hit, [Crystal Feather] is consumed. This skill can then be recast to activate the [Soaring Wings] effect; the recast does not consume additional skill charges and spawns an extra [Crystal Feather].

When both Katya and at least one [Crystal Feather] are active on the field, Katya gains stacks of [Cloud Current] over time and when shooting enemies. When Katya has maximum [Cloud Current] stacks, shooting an enemy will cause all active [Crystal Feathers] (up to a limit) to fire a [Cloudflow] projectile at the enemy, dealing Frost damage and consuming all active [Crystal Feathers]. Katya loses all [Cloud Current] stacks if there is no [Crystal Feather] active on the field.

[Crystal Feathers] are not auxiliary units.

Neuronic 1: When equipped with a Frost weapon, only half all active [Crystal Feathers] that trigger [Cloudflow] will be consumed.
Neuronic 2: When a summoned [Crystal Feather] defeats an enemy, Katya summons an additional [Crystal Feather] and gains [Cloud Current] stacks.

Support Skill: Cloudpiercer

Katya jumps backwards and fires a volley of arrows that deal Frost damage and home in on enemies after travelling for a period of time.

Neuronic 1: Enemies hit have Freeze applied to them.
Neuronic 2: Increase the number of arrows fired.

Ultimate Skill: Sonic Boom

Katya fires a [Sonic Arrow] at the enemy, dealing Frost damage and applying Freeze.

Neuronic 1: If there are active [Feather Crystals] when casting Katya's ultimate skill, [Cloudflow] (see her standard skill) will trigger on the first enemy hit and all [Feather Crystals] consumed are regenerated.
Neuronic 2: When equipped with a Frost weapon, casting Katya's ultimate skill restores all charges of her standard skill.

Deiwos Passive: Stratosphere Soarer

When equipped with a Frost weapon, increase Katya's attack based on the number of [Crystal Feathers] on the field (up to a max amount), scaling with Alignment Index.
