Delphinia

An icy valkyrie hell-bent on destroying the Vermilion Sky.
Faction: Coven

Delphinia’s gameplay is characterized by strong crowd control and self-shields. Difficult to kill and able to lock down enemies, she struggles only with dealing damage herself and must generally have teammates provide the heavy fire to take down her foes. If she body-blocks with her dash, however, she gets a second dash that allows her to dish out the punishment befitting her title.

Whenever Delphinia deals direct damage to an enemy, she applies a Frostbite stack that lasts until end of next turn unless refreshed. If an enemy reaches 3 Frostbite stacks, the stacks are consumed and the enemy is immediately Rooted.

Blast Phase – No Cooldown

Slide – 7 range, hits in a 2+1 around landing spot
Delphinia dashes to a spot, dealing 10 damage around her and gaining 30 shields. If (and only if) she takes direct damage, she may use Avenging Wrath next turn (and only next turn) – a Slide that deals 30 damage in a 2+1 around the landing spot and Slows. The cooldown runs from whenever she last dashed (i.e., if Avenging Wrath is used, the 4 turns will start only then).
