Expert Tips
- Stage Presence (passive) echoes every 3rd ability cast. Time your third cast for impactful AoE.
- Encore (R) is extended by allies. Make sure at least one ally is in the initial hitbox to maximize chain length.
- High Note (Q) does bonus damage at the outer ring of the zone. Always try to clip enemies at max range, not center.
