Kathrycia: A Sword Piercing Through the Storm, the Ocean’s Blade Cutting Through Destiny’s Waves
In the upcoming Genshin Impact 2.4 version, a warrior from a distant oceanic realm is about to make her debut. She is Kathrycia, a dual-form claymore wielder armed with her unique power over the winds, bringing new hope to a land plagued by the Anemo Archon’s turmoil.
This is a sword destined to be entwined with fate, with every swing telling a tale of wind and waves. As her blade cuts through the air, one can almost hear whispers in the wind and see glimmers of light dancing in the splashes. This is not just the birth of a character, but an eternal fable about belief and freedom.
Basic Information
Kathrycia is a 5-star Anemo element character who wields a claymore. In her world, the sword and the wind are inseparable companions. Her base HP is 77%, allowing her to maintain a steadfast will to fight even against formidable foes.
Signature Weapon
Her signature weapon, the “Divine Right Sword,” carries the essence of her original mission. With a base attack of 413, she can quickly break through enemies’ defenses. At R1, her HP is increased by 12%, granting her enhanced survivability in prolonged battles. Notably, after using her Elemental Skill or a Normal Attack, she ignores 8% of the target’s defense, making her a formidable opponent against high-defense enemies. When the target’s Anemo Corrosion effects exceed one layer, her damage increases by 20%, making her exceptionally effective in team collaborations.
In combat, Kathrycia’s form changes with the flow of the battlefield. When she accumulates enough energy, she transforms into Freydris, a mysterious entity. In this form, her HP drops to 50% of its maximum value, but her Anemo damage bonus increases by 60%. This transformation is not just physical but also a full release of her inner power.
Normal Attacks
Kathrycia’s Normal Attack consists of up to four consecutive strikes, each infused with the power of the wind. The fourth attack applies two layers of Anemo Corrosion to the target and summons a shadow of the Divine Right Sword. This shadow plays a crucial role in subsequent combat, providing additional damage and range for her plunging attacks. Her Charged Attack also applies two layers of Anemo Corrosion and summons a shadow of the Foreign Right Sword. Her Aerial Attack deals damage while retrieving the sword shadows on the field, enhancing her plunging attacks and granting different buffs.
Elemental Skill
Her Elemental Skill, “This Sword, in the Name of Man,” not only knocks enemies back but also applies two layers of Anemo Corrosion and summons a shadow of the Human Right Sword. This skill lays the foundation for her subsequent attacks, allowing enemies to gradually accumulate Anemo Corrosion effects under her blade.
Elemental Burst
What truly impresses is her Elemental Burst, “The Raging Wave’s Cry for the Knight’s Desire.” In her Freydris form, she accumulates resolve, and when her resolve reaches 120 points, she unleashes the devastating “Stormy Wave’s Furious Blade,” dealing catastrophic damage to enemies. This skill not only restores 70% of her HP but also increases damage based on the number of Anemo Corrosion effects on the enemies, with a maximum damage boost of 5 layers.
Elemental Resonance
Freydris’s Normal Attacks and skills accumulate resolve, making her combat rhythm more flexible and unpredictable. She can generate resolve through her Normal Attacks, Aerial Attacks, and Elemental Skill, allowing her to adapt to various combat scenarios and unleash her full potential in battle.
