Abilities
Each character has three active abilities, two basic and one heroic. Each of the abilities has its own unique characteristics and requires different energy expenditure. Heroic abilities require a lot of energy compared to basic ones and can significantly affect the outcome of a battle. If the ability is charged and ready to use, it will be highlighted with a yellow outline.
Energy
Energy is needed to use abilities and accumulates for the correct solution of tasks. You can get the most energy points for completing a task correctly in the «Attack» phase, slightly less energy points during the «Defense» phase, and the minimum amount of energy points you can get during the «Study» phase. If you answer incorrectly, you don't get the energy, but the boss gets it instead, so by solving the tasks correctly, you don't let the boss replenish the energy.
Genshin Impact and Attack Bonuses
Attack power is a key characteristic of the hero, indicating the maximum amount of damage dealt to the boss. Each hero has his own attack power. It can be increased by bonus attack points, which can be obtained in the «Study» phase, or by using the Storyteller's abilities.
Buffs and Debuffs
Most of your abilities will be applied to allied players and displayed as positive temporary effects - buffs. They can add extra points to the performance of both one character and the entire team. They can also be used to quickly treat and restore the parameters of the players. There are abilities that overlap with the boss. It is important to understand that every positive effect has its own power at one stage or another and will be useless if you use it at the wrong time.
🛡️ A shield is not an assistant in an attack.
