✦ Kiana's skills explained ✦
To make it easier I will explain skills relevant for her Elysian Realm gameplay. If you want a full Guide on Kiana, here you go:
- Special Bar: Fortune -
Kiana has a bar above her HP bar showing her current Fortune.
It starts at 0 and caps at 240.
Fortune is gained by hitting Basic ATKs, Weapon Skills or Combo ATKs.
It is used to launch her Enhanced Weapon Skill.
Visuals:
0 Fortune
120 Fortune
240 Fortune
- Passion Mark -
Hitting enemies with Basic ATK SEQ 4 or Stellar Outburst inflicts a Passion Mark.
Hitting an enemy with a Passion Mark with her Enhanced Weapon Skill causes the Passion Mark to explode to deal additional Fire DMG.
- Enhanced Weapon Skill -
At max Fortune hold [WA] to use Kiana's Special Weapon Skill.
When hitting enemy with a Passion Mark it deals additional DMG.
- Stellar Outburst -
Tap the AstralOP Ultimate to enter Stellar Outburst for 1s.
Astral Ring Intensity: 200 | CD: 1s + 40s
After entering Stellar Outburst you can use Kiana's Stellar Shift (Special QTE).
After using her Stellar Shift Kiana enters Merriment state for 8s which is considered a Stellar Outburst. During that time Kiana gains double the Fortune.
Using an Enhanced Weapon skill cancels this state.
✦ Special Adjustments ✦
Summary: Kiana gets Instant Ultimate upon entering and more Stellar Outbursts.
Really just adjustments to make sure she works as intended.
✦ Fortune Drum Build ✦

✦ Build Comparison ✦
Overall both are at a very similar level, so let's look at the benefits of both~
Why would I use the Fortune Drum Build?
✧ I mean why wouldn't you wanna jump on Drums?
✧ It's very simple to play
✧ It has better survival abilities due to the Ultimate heal and permanent jumping
Why would I use the Stellar Snake Build?
✧ it is less dependent on the second Ego than the Drum build
✧ At low gears it felt stronger
✦ Summary ✦
✧ Fortune Drum Build ✧
✧ Stellar Snake Build ✧
✦ Closing Statement ✦
She's a pretty strong Valkyrie in Elysian Realm and was fun to play for me:)
I hope you'll have fun too~ 
Anyway I'd like to share this nice easter egg
(2016% > 2025% cause HI3 released in 2016 and Kiana is the CNY valk of 2025)
Credits
