- Rarity: 4★
- Weapon Type: Polearm
- Role: Sub-DPS / ATK Support / Electro Enabler
- Nickname: “The Fitness Coach” of Natlan, specializing in training warriors for the “Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame.”

2. Iansan’s Basic Skill Set (Based on Leaks)
Note: These details are subject to change in the official release.
2.1. Normal Attack – Weighted Spike
- Normal Attack: Performs up to three consecutive spear strikes.
- Charged Attack: Lunges forward, consuming Stamina, dealing AoE damage along the path.
- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Nightsoul State – Swift Stormflight
- Under a special state, the Charged Attack becomes Swift Stormflight, consuming Stamina to slam down and deal Electro AoE damage.
2.2. Elemental Skill (E) – Thunderbolt Rush
- Iansan dashes forward, dealing Electro DMG in a straight line and accumulating Nightsoul Points.
- After casting Thunderbolt Rush, Iansan enters Nightsoul’s Blessing:
- Increases movement speed and jump height.
- Holding the Sprint key toggles “Thunderbolt Rush Mode,” allowing faster running, higher jumps, and even the ability to skim over water or “phlogiston.” It also grants immunity to phlogiston damage.
- This state ends if Iansan uses her Elemental Skill (E) again or if her Nightsoul Points reach 0.
2.3. Elemental Burst (Q) – The Three Principles of Power
- Iansan stomps the ground, dealing AoE Electro DMG, then summons a Kinetic Energy Scale device while restoring some Nightsoul Points.
Kinetic Energy Scale effects:
- Follows the currently active character in the party.
- Provides an ATK buff based on Iansan’s remaining Nightsoul Points.
- If Iansan maintains ≥ 42 Nightsoul Points, the active character receives a stronger ATK buff, and moving around with that character helps Iansan regenerate additional Nightsoul Points.
