Physical elements, who belongs to the B.C.R.L. faction. Their position in combat is Mid.
Lycagia is a Utility crew member who utilizes explosives and mechanical dogs to provide stability in combat. He can also throw explosives that can apply several debuffs that are capable of interrupting enemies and reducing their energy.
Playstyle and Key Mechanics
Lycagia revolves around Explosives and Mech Units; his skills are responsible for dealing with problematic enemies and providing defensive mechanics for the team. Let's go over his skills;
For his first card, [Sticky Bomb] is a 2-cost red card where he tosses 3 explosives that will attach to random targets, dealing damage per sec and lasting for 7 sec. This also has a 20% chance to inflict [Interrupt].
Next is [Hallucinogenic Gas], a 2-cost blue card where he tosses an explosive that reduces the [Energy] of targets affected and inflicts [Hallucinate]. This is practically his main card.
Lastly, his Ultimate [Wolf Pack]: this deploys 3 [Robotic K-9s] that deal basic attack and react to Red or Blue cards, where it launches [Fang Missile] on Red cards or fires [Healing Bullet] with Blue cards.
Investment
When considering getting Lycagia’s duplicates, Awakening 2 and Awakening 4 are greatly considered mainly for the cost generation and defensive buffs that are great for pushing difficult content.
Awakening 1 - Each [Sticky Bomb] attached to the target's damage is increased whenever the target affected by it gets damaged by another explosive; this also increases the said explosive's owner ATK% whenever it's triggered.
Awakening 2 - Gain Cost whenever an [Explosive] explodes.
Awakening 4 - For each [Robotic K-9] on the field, reduces all allies' DMG taken; additionally, whenever a [Leader Skill] or Ultimate is used, Lycagia gains [Invisible] and deploys one more [Robotic K-9].
Awakening 5 - [Robotic K-9] fires one more bullet.
Resonance
Resonance 1 — Instantly use [Hallucinogenic Gas] when entering a new wave.
Resonance 2 — Enhances [Sticky Bomb] by increasing the debuff chance to 50% and can also inflict [Stun] or [Ignite] randomly.
Resonance 4 — [Hallucinogenic Gas] is also considered used when discarded, as well as provides [Invisible] to Rearline allies when used.
Resonance 5 — During the duration of [Hallucinogenic Gas], Frontline allies get 25% final DMG reduction and Rearline allies get Final DMG dealt by 25%, additionally granting all allied [Mech Units] the [Berserk] buff.
