    Talent

    Lv. 1: Whenever an enemy unit is inflicted with Cold, gains 1 stack of Ice Soul Sigil, stacking up to 7 times. When there is no Frost Vortex present on the field and Ice Soul Sigil reaches 7 stacks, Yekaterina will generate a Frost Vortex at the center of the enemy team. During the duration of Frost Vortex, it deals magic damage equal to 150-210% of Attack per second to enemy units within the area (the longer the Frost Vortex lasts, the higher the damage, reaching maximum after 10 seconds, at which point this damage is doubled), and reduces the movement speed of enemy units within the area by 90% and Attack Speed by 45%. Lv. 2: Whenever an enemy Luminary or Wyrm within the Frost Vortex enters the Evaporation or Flash Freeze status, immediately release Frozen Armor (can trigger at most once every 3 seconds). Lv. 3: Increases Attack by 10% and Shield Efficiency by 4%. Lv. 4: Ice Blast After dealing damage to enemies within the Frost Vortex, additionally applies Freeze for 4 seconds. Lv. 7: Frost Vortex deals additional damage equal to 150% of own Attack when dealing damage to enemies with Freeze Status.

  • Ice Blast

    Overdrive · 20s cooldown

    Summons a giant Orb of Ice to deal Magic Damage equal to 450-570% of own Attack to enemy units in a large circular area and applies Cold and Magic Defense Down. If the target is within the Frost Vortex area, it instead applies Significant Magic Defense Down.

  • Frozen Armor

    Ultimate Skill · 16s cooldown

    Grants a Shield equal to 210-330% of the caster's Attack to an allied Luminary (prioritizes the ally with the highest Attack that has not received Frozen Armor), lasting 8 seconds. During the Shield's duration, increases the target's Damage Amplification by 10%. When the holder of Frozen Armor deals damage to enemy units under Cold status, it deals additional damage equal to 150-210% of the caster's Attack. Each time an ally uses an Overdrive, gains 1 stack of Awakening. When casting this skill, consuming 3 stacks of Awakening enhances the skill, allowing an additional target to be selected.

  • Enduring Cold

    Secret Skill

    When there is a Frost Vortex on the field, reduces own Overdrive Energy Cost by 1. For each enemy Luminary in the Frost Vortex, Yekaterina's Attack is increased by 10-13% and Shield Efficiency by 5-8%.

  • Polar Sigil

    Special Skill · 18s cooldown

    Unleash a magical burst on the enemy Luminary with the highest Attack Speed, dealing Magic Damage equal to 280-400% of own Attack to enemy units within a medium circular area around the target and applying Attack Speed Down and Cold.
