Vivian
Vivian is a premier Ether anomaly unit that significantly amplifies squad-wide Disorder and Anomaly damage. Her ability to automate Anomaly application while off-field makes her a mandatory pull for high-end Ether-based meta teams.
Vivian operates as an Ether Anomaly powerhouse, utilizing a unique feather-management system to cycle between 'Noblewoman' and 'Fluttering Frock' states. Her core loop relies on triggering 'Abloom' by hitting targets suffering from any Attribute Anomaly, which deals substantial additional damage. She automatically applies 'Vivian's Prophecy' to enemies to provide consistent passive Ether damage and debuff support. Her gameplay demands active feather resource management to maximize her massive area-of-effect damage windows.
