Resonance Chain

    When performing Resonance Skill Phantom Bubble - Stagecraft Form, or Resonance Skill Banish - Breakdown Form, Basic Attack - Breakdown Form Stage 3, Basic Attack - Breakdown Form Stage 4, Mid-air Attack - Breakdown Form Stage 3, and Mid-air Attack - Breakdown Form Stage 4, Denia becomes immune to interruption.

  2. Sequence 2: Tossed in the Tides of Reality

    When Denia is in Resonance Mode - Fusion Burst, after a Resonator in the team inflicts Fusion Burst on the target, they gain 50% Fusion DMG Bonus for 15s. After Fusion Burst is triggered on enemies near the active Resonator in the team, Denia gains 1 stack of Degenerate Voidmatter for 15s, up to 10 stacks. Each stack of Degenerate Voidmatter causes Denia to ignore 1% of the target's Fusion RES.

    This effect ends when Denia switches modes.

    When Denia is in Resonance Mode - Tune Strain, her Forte Circuit effect is enhanced: After a Resonator in the team inflicts Tune Strain - Shifting on the target, their Tune Break Boost is increased by 20 for 15s, and the target's Off-Tune Level is increased by 100% of the max. This effect can only be triggered once per 300s on the same target.

    The Entropy Shift: Breakdown Form effect is enhanced: Casting Resonance Liberation Final Act - Breakdown Form additionally restores 30 points of Concerto Energy.

    Denia's Inherent Skill Vestiges of Falsehood is enhanced:

    Upon entering combat, Dark Core and Void Particle are restored to the max. This effect can be triggered once every 12s.

    When the number of Dark Core reaches the limit, casting Basic Attack - Stagecraft Form Stage 4 or Resonance Skill Phantom Bubble - Stagecraft Form consumes all Dark Core and increases the DMG Multiplier of this skill by 1200%. The DMG dealt is considered Resonance Liberation DMG.

  4. Sequence 4: From the Far Beyond, to the Far Beyond

    While Denia is in Resonance Mode - Fusion Burst, after Erosion Field deals damage, trigger Fusion Burst on the target based on its max limit. The Fusion Burst DMG triggered gains a 200% DMG Multiplier increase against the main target and does not remove the Fusion Burst stacks on the targets hit. The effect can be triggered on the same target up to 1 time. When the target is damaged by Resonance Liberation Final Act: Breakdown Form, the effect's trigger count is reset. The trigger count can be reset for the same target once every 2s.
