Skill roles

S1 Distortion

Deal Electric damage to all foes equal to 85.4%/94.2%/90.6%/99.4% of Attack. 80% chance to inflict Shock on the main target for 2 turns. If an ally has Costar, deal bonus Electric damage to the main target equal to 83.3%/91.8%/88.4%/96.9% of that ally's Attack (1 hit).

S2 Unison Notes

Grant Costar to 1 ally, and increase their Attack by 24% of Ayaka's Attack (up to 1220/1345/1295/1420) for 3 turns. Only 1 ally can be a Costar at a time.

S3 Catchy Hook

Immediately activate the selected ally's Highlight and increase its damage by 78.1%/86.1%/82.9%/90.9%. This skill does not affect the target's Highlight cooldown time, even if it activates a Highlight. If the selected character has a Theurgy, the next time they activate a Theurgy, increase final damage amplification by 19.5%/19.5%/20.7%/20.7%.

Backing Track

When an ally uses a Highlight or Theurgy, increase target's Attack by 24.0% for 1 turn. When the target has Costar, increase effect by 1.5 times.

Chorus Effect

After an ally uses a Highlight or Theurgy, the ally with the lowest HP recovers HP equal to 15.0% of Ayaka's Attack + 1350.
