Elemental Skill - Sanctifying Ring

  • Follows the active character and deals Electro DMG to nearby opponents every 1.5 seconds.
  • Restores HP for the active character based on Kuki Shinobu's max HP.

It is worth noting that the HP loss at the beginning of the skill can bring Kuki Shinobu to a minimum of 20% HP.

Shinobu creates a barrier with her Elemental Burst and deals continuous Electro DMG to enemies that are placed within the AoE. The damage is based on Kuki Shinobu's max HP. Also, if her HP is equal to or less than 50%, the shield lasts longer.
