Charlotte, the Cryo Catalyst user with unique photography-based kit, is set to become a playable character in Genshin Impact 4.2. Here’s a closer look at her abilities and how she might be used in battle.
Genshin Impact 4.2 Charlotte: Kit Leaks
Cryo Vision and Catalyst Wielder
Confirmed by leaks, Charlotte wields a Cryo Vision attached to her thigh. As a catalyst user, she falls under the Pneuma alignment within the Pneuma and Ousia system. Her Normal Attacks deal Cryo damage, while her Charged Attack consumes Stamina and inflicts AoE Cryo damage. However, what sets Charlotte apart is her distinctive Kamera-captured attacks.
Kamera-Captured Attacks
Charlotte’s approach to combat is far from conventional. Instead of employing traditional weapon strikes, she captures her adversaries in photographs using her Kamera. Her Normal Attacks (NA) inflict Cryo damage, while her Charged Attacks (CA) unleash AoE Cryo damage. This distinctive combat style promises to breathe new life into the game and offers players a refreshing way to engage in battles.
Supportive Capabilities and Passive Talents
Leaked details about Charlotte’s passive talents suggest that she will be a versatile character in Genshin Impact. Let’s take a closer look at her abilities:
- Moment of Impact (First Passive): This talent reduces the cooldown of Charlotte’s Elemental Skill when enemies affected by “Focused Impression” are defeated. This feature potentially allows her to use her Elemental Skill more frequently during battles, enhancing her overall utility.
- Diversity Survey (Second Passive): Charlotte’s “Diversity Survey” offers a unique bonus depending on the composition of your team. If you have Fontaine characters in your party, she gains a healing bonus. Conversely, if you have non-Fontaine allies, she receives a Cryo damage bonus, granting her up to a 15% boost in both cases. This makes Charlotte adaptable to different team setups.
- First-Person Shutter (Third Passive): This talent introduces a unique mechanic involving a gadget known as the Special Analysis Zoom Lens. Although specific details about its effects remain a mystery, it hints at a potentially intriguing gameplay feature that players can look forward to exploring.
Elemental Skill
Charlotte’s Elemental Skill, as glimpsed in leaked information, centers around her photography skills. Similar to Nahida’s Elemental Skill, it offers two versions: a tap version and a hold version.
- Tap: Applies a debuff called “Snappy Silhouette” to opponents in front of Charlotte. This debuff inflicts Cryo damage on them at delayed intervals, adding an element of crowd control to her kit.
- Hold: Allows Charlotte to mark opponents using her camera’s viewfinder, with a timer called “Finisher Frame” counting down. Releasing the skill at the right moment applies the “Focused Impression” debuff, dealing Cryo damage and lasting longer with a longer cooldown.
Elemental Burst
Charlotte’s Elemental Burst, “Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation,” creates an area that deals AoE Cryo damage to nearby opponents. Additionally, triggering the Elemental Burst restores HP to all party members, even those not currently active. This makes Charlotte a valuable support character, and the amount of healing scales off her ATK stat.
Charlotte’s Constellations
Charlotte’s constellation levels appear to amplify her support capabilities even further, making her an even more valuable addition to any team composition. Here’s a summary of her constellations:
- C1: This constellation level causes her Elemental Burst to heal the affected character upon activation and subsequently heal them every two seconds for a portion of Charlotte’s Attack. This added sustainability in battles ensures that her teammates can endure prolonged engagements.
- C2: The second constellation increases her ATK when her Elemental Skill hits multiple enemies. This enhancement boosts her damage output, making her a more effective damage dealer in the right circumstances.
- C3: Enhances her Elemental Burst’s level and cap level, providing an overall increase in power and effectiveness in battles.
- C4: This constellation level introduces an intriguing dynamic, increasing the damage dealt and energy restoration when her Elemental Burst hits an enemy marked by either “Speedy Silhouette” or “Focused Impression.” This constellation encourages a strategic approach to using her abilities.
- C5: Continues to enhance her Elemental Skill’s level and cap, further amplifying her capabilities and utility in various in-game scenarios.
- C6: The sixth constellation takes her support abilities to new heights. It unleashes a follow-up attack with her camera when the active character’s Normal and Charged Attacks hit opponents marked by “Focused Impression.” This follow-up attack deals significant Cryo damage while also providing healing to the active character(s).
As we eagerly await Charlotte’s arrival in Genshin Impact 4.2, these leaked details have ignited excitement within the community about her unique playstyle, versatility, and supportive abilities. Prepare to welcome Charlotte to your team and explore the captivating possibilities she brings to the world of Teyvat.
