Review

Velanna is an undead Warrior that is specialized in bleed damage and sustain. She is able to inflict bleed with both her main skill and her ultimate, but benefits from hitting a target that is already bleeding, since it will buff up her skills significantly. She is also guaranteed to crit when hitting a bleeding target, with the tradeoff of having no natural crit rate. Because of her reliance on the bleed status, teambuilding and timing will make or break your Velanna experience: hitting an already bleeding target will also stun the opponent hit by her main and ultimate skill. This is crucial to her survival as she has no defense steroids besides her sub skill buffing her resistances. She plays well with units like Jacqueline, that can target and inflict bleed on the backline while Velanna inflicts bleed on the frontliine before unleashing her ultimate - and Ayame, that can provide more bleeding and benefits herself from hitting bleeding characters. If you can properly time the bleeds, there's no denying that Velanna can decimate the enemy team and keep it stunned enough to finish the job, just make sure that you can keep her alive enough to lifesteal back the damage she receives. Considering her survival issues, she's a soul that shines with investment - both on Origin stars as well as on her artifact - so your mileage with her may vary depending on that. Velanna can see some usage in bosses between her sustain and ability to inflict stuns consistently in the right team comp, while she's average in PvP as she is unable to make the most out of her kit due to the lack of ultimates.

Love story

  1. It's the first time I felt that way.

  2. Say you're surprised.

  3. Cupid must have continued to love the flower.

  4. Do not follow after her.

  5. I've never thought of trying to defeat Velanna.

  6. I wish Velanna wouldn't hate herself.
