✦ RANK-UP SKILLS

✦ HOW TO GET PARDOFELIS FRAGMENTS

Felis is free. You can farm her fragments from Battle Arsenal, Asterite shop and Open World Task.

✦ SKILL DETAILS

MOOD METER

Felis pet Can has two mood meter which determines your Combo ATK. [Angry] and [Well-behaved]. Use weapon skill to switch moods.

COMBO ATK

- [Angry] Combo ATK is called Double Scratch. It buffs Felis and restore 3 sp to the team.

- [Well-behaved] Combo ATK is called Frozen Can. Enemies hit take 30% more Total DMG for 15s, which is basically a 15s Newton B. Has a small gather aoe.

- Note that using Ultimate activates both Felis TDM bonus and enemy TDM taken debuff. We'll talk more on Ult later.

WEAPON SKILL: PREDATION

After two Combo ATK, the weapon active will flash, tap it to unleash a special Predation attack! Deal 13x80% ATK Ice DMG and freezes the enemy/charge 12 points of Rime Trauma.

- Predation also counts as QTE skill. The only reason it counts as QTE is to trigger Silverwing QTE

ULTIMATE: MEGATON FURBALL

ULTIMATE (125 SP, CD: 20s) Cat pass** through the chakram and becomes chonky! Deal 2000% ATK Ice DMG, restore full meter, and freezes the enemy/charge 18 points of Rime trauma. Ultimate has various effects.

- Ultimate applies these two effects of Combo ATK - Felis TDM +30%, Enemy take 30% more Total DMG for 15s

- Ultimate restore 2.5 sp/s to everyone for 10s. This is a powerful utility that lets valks get Ultimate faster. Paw-some!

- Although it is not mentioned in the skill description, Felis ult does have somewhat of a timer pause - specifically, the part where Felis does her 'peace sign' pauses the timer.

- Against IMG enemies, if the Nihilus Seed HP is below 20%, Ultimate insta-kills the enemy (or the current phase).

After Ultimate, you enter Runaway status for 15s, during which Combo ATKs gain 50% Ice DMG and switching mood restore full meter. This is just for Felis DPS. Switching out during Runaway increases Cat bomb damage.

SP SKILL: BOOM MEOW

When Felis exits the field, Can will remain on the field to support the team. Cat throws three Boom Meow at regular intervals, deal 300% ATK Ice DMG. If Felis exits during [Runaway], bomb damage is increased. The third bomb freezes the enemy, or charges 10 points of Rime trauma.

- Boom-meow can apply stigma effects such as Jinshengtan, Newton B, Gluttony.

LEAD

LEAD SKILL: Team SP recovery +25%, attacks against frozen enemies gain Total DMG +35%

- The extra sp recovery percentage is not necessary in most cases. Use Silverwing / Nyx / HoR lead skill instead.

OTHERS

INITIAL SP: Felis start with 40 extra sp in both Abyss and Arena

QTE: Trigger: Time slow or frozen enemy. Reduce exiting valk switch cd by 4s. Fully restore both Mood meter

EVASION: Trigger 3s Time Fracture. Fully restore current Mood

SSS skill: Any attack that involves cat action (Ult, Combo, QTE, Bomb) grants the team Total DMG +5% for 16s, stacks 3 times (15% TDM)

TOTAL BONUS

✦ HOW TO PLAY PARDOFELIS ✦

The base sequence is simple:

Switch/QTE > Combo ATK > Weapon > Combo ATK > Weapon: Predation > Ultimate > Switch to DPS.

Adjust accordingly. For example:

1 - Use [Double Scratch] once to get sp and then use Ult.

2 - If you don't need sp, you can skip Combo entirely and go straight to Ult.

3 - QUICK, NO ULT: After entry, you can immediately use weapon active to switch to well-behaved mood, then use Combo ATK [Frozen Can] to apply 30% TDM taken. Then switch out.

4 - DOUBLE SP: Use Double Scratch, then evade to get full meter, and use another Double Scratch! Double sp regen into predation~

5 - CEZANNE B: Cez B is activated via Combo ATK. Use Combo ATK last before switching out to maximize Cez B duration.

✦ LINEUP EXAMPLE ✦

STANDARD

ICE DPS - REVERIST CALICO - HAXXOR BUNNY

- Standard team for most Ice DPS (Herrscher of Human, Silverwing, etc)

- Felis provides sp recovery, various buffs and more.

- HB is an ice support.

- Use Felis lead skill [team gain increased 25% sp recovery] when you want more sp recover. Else, use other lead skill.

3 SUPPORT TEAM

REVERIST CALICO - HAXXOR BUNNY - AZURE EMPYREA / EDEN

- Lineup for three support team. This is just an alternative build for f2p players.

- Felis can be a decent dps up to Red Lotus, if you have the skills and gears.

VERSION 6.1 TEAM

HERRSCHER OF HUMAN - REVERIST CALICO - JADE KNIGHT

A new farmable S-rank support will be introduced in version 6.1 - Sushang JADE KNIGHT. Based on current data, Sushang will replace Haxxor Bunny, providing stronger buffs, including Elemental breach, Shield break, and more.

Starchasm Nyx and Felis DPS runs are in this video. You can search Nyll Hzri on Youtube for more runs~

✦ CONCLUSION ✦

1. Felis is an excellent support. Recommended to farm her, mainly for Herrscher of Human or other Ice DPS, but her usage extends to other teams.

2. In the past, ice team wasn't that good compared to other elements, but this year, we have two excellent ice supports Felis and Sushang, with ice herrscher Herrscher of Human! So farm Felis, and build the proper HoH team.

✦ OLD SECTION: PARDOFELIS vs AZURE EMPYREA ✦

LEGACY SECTION

During its release time, people were curious how good Pardo was compared to Azure Empyrea, who was the go-to support for all elemental teams. Thus, this video was made. This is of course, in the context of Ice teams. And I only tested on one boss, but it extends to almost all use cases since AE is pretty much out of most Ice runs now.

'omg why only one boss misleading misleading waa' cus i dont wanna waste my time you dumdum do it yourself
