  • Cartethyia Gameplay and Playstyle

Cartethyia is a 5-star Aero Resonator who wields a Sword. In battle, she can shift between two forms: Cartethyia and Fleurdelys.

As Cartethyia:

  • The last Stage of Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, Concerto Skills, and Resonance Skill of Cartethyia will summon different Sword Shadows
  • When Sword Shadows are present on the field, using a Plunging Attack will recall them, dealing additional damage based on the number and types of Sword Shadows retrieved.

As Fleurdelys:

  • When Cartethyia’s Resonance Energy is full, using Resonance Liberation allows her to transform into Fleurdelys.
  • Upon transforming, she gains bonus effects depending on the types of Sword Shadows recalled.
  • While in this form, her attacks generate Conviction. When Conviction reaches 120 points, she can unleash Resonance Liberation: Blade of Howling Squall, delivering a powerful finishing move.

Cartethyia's primary damage skill, Resonance Liberation – Blade of Howling Squall, removes all stacks of Aero Erosion from enemies upon impact. For each stack removed, the damage enemies take is increased, up to a maximum of 5 stacks. Therefore, ensuring that enemies have Aero Erosion stacks before using this skill is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness. This makes Ciaccona, who can easily apply Aero Erosion, and Chisa or Aero Rover, who increases the maximum stack limit of Aero Erosion, ideal teammates for Cartethyia.
