As depicted in the trailer, Luocha primarily uses melee attacks to thwart his opponents. His attacks, skills, traces, and passive abilities are as follows:

Basic ATK: Luocha’s Basic ATK, “Thorns of the Abyss,” deals Imaginary damage to a single target. While this attack does not dish out significant damage, it is useful for generating Skill Points in battle.

Skill: Activating the Skill, “Prayer of Abyss Flower,” consumes one Skill Point – restoring a certain amount of HP to a single ally. The amount of HP restored scales off Lucoha’s ATK stat, simultaneously granting a stack of Abyss Flower. Luocha can trigger this healing effect automatically on any ally if their HP falls below a certain amount without consuming any Skill Points. The Healing effect is not continuous and can only be reapplied after a certain number of turns.

Talent: Luocha can consume two stacks of Abyss Flower to generate a field against all enemies. Allies who take damage from an enemy within this field will restore a certain percentage of their HP based on Luocha’s ATK. The field lasts for a limited number of turns, and the Talent is known as the “Cycle of Life.”

Traces: The main highlight of Luocha’s passives is the “Cleansing Revival” ability, which dispels a single debuff from an ally under the effect of the Skill. This is further complemented by another Trace, “Sanctified,” which restores HP to all allies except the attacker – provided the field is active.

Ultimate: Luocha’s Ultimate ability, “Death Wish,” deals Imaginary damage to all foes and simultaneously dispels any one buff from them. Using the Ultimate will also grant a stack of Abyss Flower.
Technique: The technique, “Mercy of a Fool,” will automatically trigger Luocha’s Talent at the start of a battle.

This covers all the revealed gameplay details on Luocha so far. Players looking forward to summoning him can do so in the current boosted rate-up banner.
