Joan The Luminant

Joan stands as a beacon of hope for the Banner Lords, wielding the power of Lumaya to restore the lives of her allies. But enemies often mistake her as merely a healer – until she transforms, unleashing the radiant blades that hover behind her to cut them down. Joan the Luminant is a Mythical champion whose kit blends powerful ally support with devastating offensive capabilities.

BASE FORM

In this form, she focuses on both offensive and defensive team support, with a passive that boosts allies damage and triggers her A3 when an enemy revives. Her A2 is particularly strong, cleansing all allies of debuffs, placing Increase ATK and Increase RES, and boosting their Turn Meters by 15%. It’s an excellent way to counter debuff-heavy enemies and bosses while increasing your team’s damage output and helping them cycle turns more quickly.

Her A3 provides a single target revive that grants the ally an Unkillable buff for protection and an Instant Turn so they can immediately act. Because her active effect can trigger this skill when an enemy revives, it can create a situation where enemies may hesitate to bring their team back, as doing so can place you in an even stronger position. If no allies are dead, the A2 activates instead.

Resistance is a major part of both of her forms, and through Increase RES she not only strengthens herself but also enables allies to deal 15% more damage against enemies with lower RES. Her A1 rounds out the kit with a teamwide heal based on their RES and 5% MAX HP, along with a chance to apply a random buff spread, adding even more support.

ALTERNATE FORM

As mentioned earlier, Resistance is an important stat to consider in both of her forms, as her damage here scales from both RES and ATK. Passively, she now takes 15% reduced damage from enemies with lower RES than her, and she places Counterattack on herself at the end of each turn. This sets up strong potential in both PvP and PvE, especially with her A1 – as when counterattacking she Ignores DEF by 5%, up to 25%, and deals double damage, while treating the hits as individual single-target attacks rather than true AoE, allowing her to bypass certain passives.

Her A3 follows up with a triple-hit single-target attack that ignores Shield, Block Damage, and Unkillable, then ignores 35% DEF and places Block Revive on enemies with lower RES. If the target survives, she gains an Extra Turn. This makes her extremely effective at eliminating enemies who rely on these protective buffs and lets her roll straight into her A2 if she doesn’t secure the kill.

Her A2 is an AoE skill that steals 25% Turn Meter, deals 35% increased damage to enemies with lower RES, and places Block Damage on herself for protection. It’s excellent for controlling the pace of battle and taking down enemies, and the combination of Block Damage and her self-Counterattack can be very difficult for both PvE and PvP opponents to handle. You can even open with the base form’s A2 to apply Increase ATK and Increase RES, setting up the alternate form’s damage potential.
