Notes

• Charged Attack frame counts are done using by holding and releasing the Normal Attack button.
• MV/s are calculated using the shortest possible frames without any animation cancels, for different cancels see below.
• Fully Charged Charged Attack has no ICD.
• N1 will come out even if canceled early. Cancels include jump, dash, skill, and most notably, aim mode.
• After the first 0.7s, Aimed Shot damage and Gauge Unit will drop off 10% for every 0.05s the arrow travels in air (up to a total of 90%).

Skill

Inuzaka All-Round Defense

Deals AoE Geo DMG and sets up a General's War Banner.

General's War Banner
Provides up to 3 buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party at the time of casting:

• 1 Geo character: Adds "Standing Firm" - DEF Bonus.
• 2 Geo characters: Adds "Impregnable" - Increased resistance to interruption.
• 3 Geo characters: Adds "Crunch" - Geo DMG Bonus.

Gorou can deploy only 1 General's War Banner on the field at any one time. Characters can only benefit from 1 General's War Banner at a time. When a party member leaves the field, the active buff will last for 2s.

Hold
Adjust the location of the skill.

"Take up this formation and we'll be safe — I guarantee it!" As a general and a leader of troops, the last thing Gorou wants is to see is those who follow him getting hurt.

Notes

• Gorou counts as one of the Geo characters for General's War Banner's buff condition.
• The initial hit of Inuzaka All-Round Defense does not benefit from its own buff.
• There is a delay before applying the buff effects of General's War Banner.
• The General's War Banner is not affected by gravity.

Burst

Juuga: Forward Unto Victory

Displaying his valor as a general, Gorou deals AoE Geo DMG and creates a field known as General's Glory to embolden his comrades.

General's Glory
This field has the following properties:

• Like the General's War Banner created by Inuzaka All-Round Defense, provides buffs to active characters within the skill's AoE based on the number of Geo characters in the party. Also moves together with your active character.
• Generates 1 Crystal Collapse every 1.5s that deals AoE Geo DMG to 1 opponent within the skill's AoE.
• Pulls 1 elemental shard in the skill's AoE to your active character's position every 1.5s (elemental shards are created by Crystallize reactions).

If a General's War Banner created by Gorou currently exists on the field when this ability is used, it will be destroyed. In addition, for the duration of General's Glory, Gorou's Elemental Skill "Inuzaka All-Round Defense" will not create the General's War Banner.
If Gorou falls, the effects of General's Glory will be cleared.

"We have the high ground!" Gorou can ever so slightly change the terrain of the battlefield to help win victory. This technique has seen him through many battles against seemingly superior opposition.

Ascension 1

Heedless of the Wind and Weather

Constellations

C1

Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind

When characters (other than Gorou) within the AoE of Gorou's General's War Banner or General's Glory deal Geo DMG to opponents, the CD of Gorou's Inuzaka All-Round Defense is decreased by 2s.
This effect can occur once every 10s.

Notes

• The effect of Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind can be snapshotted along with the buffs of General's War Banner.

C2

Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock

While General's Glory is in effect, its duration is extended by 1s when a nearby active character obtains an Elemental Shard from a Crystallize reaction.
This effect can occur once every 0.1s. Max extension is 3s.

C3

Mauling Hound: Fierce as Fire

Increases the Level of Inuzaka All-Round Defense by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C4

Lapping Hound: Warm as Water

When General's Glory is in the "Impregnable" or "Crunch" states, it will also heal active characters within its AoE by 50% of Gorou's own DEF every 1.5s.

Notes

• The healing is dynamic and does not snapshot Gorou's DEF on cast.

C5

Striking Hound: Thunderous Force

Increases the Level of Juuga: Forward Unto Victory by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6

Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty

For 12s after using Inuzaka All-Round Defense or Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, increases the CRIT DMG of all nearby party members' Geo DMG based on the buff level of the skill's field at the time of use:

• "Standing Firm": +10%
• "Impregnable": +20%
• "Crunch": +40%

This effect cannot stack and will take reference from the last instance of the effect that is triggered.

Notes

• The CRIT DMG increase does not snapshot.
