00:00 Lady Farina's dramatic twists never fail to amaze.
00:07 You can never predict whether her next song will be a rousing soprano or a melancholy contralto,
00:13 nor where her whirling dance will next lead the audience's gaze.
00:17 That was a snippet from one of the most popular editions of the Steambird.
00:23 "I knew you'd miss me."
00:27 Farina has an entourage of hydro-proficient companions to assist her in various capacities.
00:35 To show her gratitude, she occasionally invites them to her tea parties.
00:41 With the world's doors open wide before her, the notion of a stage is not so narrowly defined.
00:47 While Farina is in the party, the cool-down of xenochromatic fontamer aberrant skills is reduced.
00:56 Farina's normal attack can combo up to four sword strikes, dealing physical damage to enemies.
01:03 Using a charged attack consumes a set amount of stamina to unleash her Pasol aura,
01:08 dealing physical damage to nearby enemies and changing Farina's arca alignment.
01:17 Periodically, when Farina's normal attack hits, a spirit breath thorn or a surging blade descends on the enemy,
01:23 dealing Numa or Ucia-aligned hydro damage based on her current arca alignment.
01:34 Her elemental skill invites the guests of the Salon Solitaire into battle to support her performance.
01:41 When Farina's arca alignment is Ucia, she scatters a spray of celebratory bubbles,
01:46 dealing AoE hydro damage based on her max HP, and summons the three members of the Salon Solitaire.
01:54 Namely, Gentilhomme Usher the Ball Octopus,
01:57 Sir Intendant Cheval Miron the Bubbly Seahorse,
02:00 and Mademoiselle Crabaletta the Armored Crab.
02:04 The Salon members periodically attack nearby enemies,
02:07 prioritizing the active character's target, and deal hydro damage based on max HP.
02:15 When a Salon member attacks, the strength of the attack increases based on the number of nearby party members
02:20 whose current HP is over a certain percentage, and consumes some HP from them.
02:26 The more characters that meet the requirements, the greater the increase.
02:30 When Farina's arca alignment is Numa, she summons the Singer of Many Waters,
02:35 which periodically heals nearby active characters by an amount based on max HP.
02:44 If Farina's elemental skill summons are on the field when she uses a charged attack,
02:49 the lineup switches to match her new arca alignment.
02:54 The Salon members and Singer of Many Waters share a duration,
02:58 so when the lineup changes, the new guests inherit the remaining duration.
03:02 While Salon members or Singer of Many Waters exist, Farina can walk on water.
03:09 After unlocking the talent Unheard Confession, Farina's elemental skill is enhanced in two ways.
03:15 Damage dealt by Salon members is increased,
03:18 and the interval between heals from the Singer of Many Waters is decreased, both scaling with max HP.
03:26 The maximum buff that can be obtained this way has a certain limit.
03:32 Time to shine!
03:34 Harnessing the spirit of Revelry, Farina's elemental burst creates a stage of bubbles and foam
03:40 that deals AoE hydro damage based on her max HP,
03:44 and causes all party members to enter the "Universal Revelry" state.
03:49 While in Universal Revelry state, each time a nearby party member's HP rises or falls,
03:55 Farina gains one stack of Fanfare per 1% of their max HP that is gained or lost.
04:02 The damage dealt by, and incoming healing bonus of, all nearby party members will be increased based on Farina's Fanfare.
04:12 When the duration ends, all stacks of Fanfare are cleared.
04:17 The tides of life ebb and flow like an endless waltz.
04:27 After unlocking the talent "Endless Waltz," when the active character in your party receives healing,
04:34 if the source of the healing is not Farina herself and the healing overflows,
04:39 then Farina will periodically heal a nearby party member by a certain percentage of their max HP for a short duration afterwards.
04:48 While Farina prefers the Opera House stage to the Theater of Combat,
04:55 she has some insight into the common ground between battle and acting.
04:59 Just a little Fanfare can turn an impromptu performance into a tour de force.
05:05 Farina's primary tool in combat is her Elemental Skill, with which she summons her entourage to assist her in battle.
05:13 By switching between her guests with her Charged Attack,
05:17 she can change her Arca alignment to suit the demands of the battle.
05:23 When energy is full, Farina fashions a stage out of foam and bubbles.
05:29 As she accrues Fanfare from her fellow party members,
05:32 she bolsters their combat capabilities, building up to a glorious finale fit for the finest opera.
05:38 While I can't claim much expertise when it comes to opera,
05:45 I have heard that actors often rehearse in front of the mirror.
05:49 On the one hand, they need to immerse themselves in the character and the scene,
05:54 and on the other, they must see themselves from the perspective of the audience,
05:58 to decide whether their act is "emotionally compelling."
06:03 I'm sure that Farina, too, has spent time adjusting her technique in front of the mirror all alone.
06:10 But I wonder, who is it that she really sees looking back at her?
