Ailil

A chill autumn wind drifts through the forests of Mistwood, as a force of nature rises to punish those who dare harm its sacred trees. Ailil was born from the fusion of man and beast, forming a new kind of angelic being within the Sylvan Watchers. Though powerful and revered, some among the woodland tribes fear him – for his wrath feels far more demonic than divine.

One of the standout features of Ailil’s kit is that none of his abilities require accuracy, and his passive increases his HP & DEF stats as you build his attack – making him easier to gear offensively while also improving his sustainability. His single target A2 ignores 25% of the target’s Defence and bypasses major defensive buffs, including Stoneskin and Ally Protection. If he kills an enemy with this skill, he heals himself and gains a Stoneskin buff. This combo allows him to self sustain after securing a kill and stay protected while cycling to his next turn. On top of that, his passive also grants him 10% Turn Meter whenever he receives a buff, helping him rotate through his abilities even faster.

Leading into his A3, before unleashing his AoE attack, Ailil converts both Increase Defence and Strengthen buffs on enemies into their mirrored debuffs – Weaken and Decrease Defence. This punishes enemies under these protective buffs, flipping them into vulnerabilities that make them easier for Ailil and his allies to take down. If enemies aren’t under those buffs, he instead applies Block Buffs to prevent any future buffs from being placed. Lastly, his A1 steals all buffs from a target the first time he hits them with it, and each subsequent hit from this skill increases his damage by 10% based on the number of active buffs they have.
