Elemental Skill		Riding the Night-Rainbow
With footwork swift as lightning and fierce as thunder, Varesa displays the true spirit of lucha libre, rushing forward a certain distance and dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to opponents in her path. After using this Skill, Varesa gains 20 Nightsoul points and gains the "Follow-Up Strike" effect: Varesa has increased interruption resistance during this time, and upon pressing her Normal Attack, she will quickly unleash a Charged Attack that does not consume Stamina. "Follow-Up Strike" will be canceled after using a Charged Attack. She will use different techniques based on whether you Tap or Hold. Tap Quickly rush a certain distance forward. Hold Varesa enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state and switches to Sudden Onrush mode. Sudden Onrush Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. In this state, Varesa's Movement SPD and interruption resistance are increased. She can use terrain to execute flying leaps or consume additional Nightsoul points to traverse atop water or liquid Phlogiston while remaining immune to DMG from the latter.

Elemental Burst		A Dazzling Descent!

This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG.
