Core Skill Core Passive: Metallic Paws

When Lycaon completes charging during a Basic Attack, or activates a Dodge Counter or Dash Attack, the Daze inflicted by the skill increases by 80%. When EX Special Attack: Thrill of the Hunt, Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack, or Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz hits an enemy, the target's Ice RES is reduced by 25%, and it increases the DMG to the target from other attributes by 30% for 30s. Upon entering the battlefield, Lycaon gains one Encircle Prey activation chance. When Encircle Prey has available activations, hitting an enemy with Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz triggers the Quick Assist of the previous character in the squad. During this skill, when other squad members enter via Quick Assist, Lycaon enters the Encircle Prey state for 8s. When an elite or boss enemy becomes Stunned, 1 Encircle Prey activation chance is gained. Up to 1 Encircle Prey activation can be stored. When the Encircle Prey state ends, Lycaon automatically activates Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz. If the Encircle Prey state ends early, for every 1s of remaining duration, the Daze dealt by the next Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz increases by 6%. When the currently active character stops attacking or uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, Lycaon will end the Encircle Prey state early. When Lycaon manually uses Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz, the Encircle Prey state also ends early, but Assist Follow-Up: Vengeful Counterattack - Glacial Waltz will not be automatically triggered. While the Encircle Prey state is active, Lycaon will activate Basic Attack, Dodge, Dash Attack, and Dodge Counter based on the skills used by the currently active character. When the currently active character uses a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, Lycaon will simultaneously perform the 1st through 3rd hits of his Basic Attack. When the active character performs a Dodge or Dodge Counter, Lycaon will simultaneously perform a Dodge or Dodge Counter. After performing a Dodge Counter while in the Encircle Prey state, Lycaon can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of his Basic Attack. While the Encircle Prey state is active, when Lycaon is not the currently active Agent, his attacks only deal DMG and Daze. While Lycaon is the currently active character, the Encircle Prey duration does not decrease.

Dupes / advancement

Rank 1 Full Moon Momentum

When Lycaon's EX Special Attack: Thrill of the Hunt hits an enemy, the attack's Daze increases by 12%. This effect can trigger once every 8s. When he charges his EX Special Attack: Thrill of the Hunt to completion, this buff will increase by an additional 10%. Records suggest that werewolves exposed to moonlight become significantly more aggressive. "Don't stare directly at the moon."

Rank 2 Energy Feedback

When Stunning an enemy or triggering a squad member's Chain Attack, Lycaon gains 5 Energy. Can trigger once every 1s. "Canines receive a brief dopamine boost in their brains after completing semi-complex tasks. At that moment, if their owner pets them to show encouragement, they will be extremely happy..." —Excerpt from the "Handbook of Unreliable Canine Research"

Rank 3 Attendant Training

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 His every gesture exudes poise, and his words and actions are as refreshing as a spring breeze. An attendant's training is about maintaining control over everything.

Rank 4 Graceful Demeanor

If Lycaon is attacked while using a Basic Attack or Special Attack, he will immediately gain a Shield equal to 7.5% of his Max HP, lasting for 15s. During the Shield's duration, his Anti-Interrupt level is increased. This effect can trigger once every 15s. "An outstanding attendant maintains a graceful demeanor at any and all times."

Rank 5 Alpha Nature

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 His glance harbors a primal ferocity, and the echoes of his howls rumble within his throat. Regardless of his current gracefulness, underneath the formal wear, he's still untamed.

Rank 6 Ruthless Hunter

When a charged attack hits an enemy, the target suffers 10% increased DMG from Lycaon, stacking up to 5 times and lasting 12s. Only one stack can be gained per skill use, and repeated triggers reset the duration. "Apologies, but given the circumstances, I will not show any mercy." "After all, if a fair fight is what you are after, a Hollow is not the place to look for it."
