LivianInformation and Guide

Livian is a Single Target DPS, a Healer and Buffer specifically for Dusk Devotion vassals, a new synergy involving Alexi as the Oathsworn, along with other Initiates such as Lamia, Dalcarlo, Cain and Limine. This synergy applies the regular synergy buffs along with Lifesteal and an increased duration of 6 seconds on Blood Moon State. More importantly, she can activate Blood Moon state instantly without the help of activating other Moon Phases; incredible as it sounds, it is locked behind her pairing with Alexi.

With that brief overview, let's check out how she actually functions.

Let's begin with her Talent, as mentioned earlier, she can instantly activate Blood Moon State without other Moon Phases being activated. Not only that she can also apply an 80% Damage Reduction effect for Physical Damage and Magic Damage to all allied Dusk Devotion vassals when using the instant Blood Moon State. However, this is all locked behind having an allied Alexi on the board; subsequent activation will also reduce the bonus Damage Reduction effects down to a minimum of 30% value.

Next is her Basic Attack, a very straightforward single-target attack with no other special effects other than doing decent damage.

Then we have her Special, which activates after every 3 Basic Attacks. This applies M.DMG Taken Up (Moderate), which increases Magic Damage Taken by 30% for 7 seconds; this also deals a decent chunk of damage to the target.

Lastly is her Ultimate, a 10 seconds Channeling skill that does 3 things in particular; first is dealing damage every 0.2 seconds to a single enemy, you can also target it on certain boss parts if you wish to, next is converting 80% of the damage dealt into healing for Dusk Devotion vassals with an additional 80% to Alexi and lastly while she is Channeling, if any Dusk Devotion vassal uses their Ultimate they gain 4 stacks of Scarlet Shade. Scarlet Shade is a buff that provides Magic Defense Penetration by 5% each stack; this can go up to 9 stacks.

Overall, the utility Livian can provide is way too great; however, it came with a catch of being applicable only to Dusk Devotion vassals and with her bread and butter being tied to Alexi. For Bossing purposes, her Ultimate is really good for targeting parts and her damage is fantastic for a Healer. PVP use case, she is quite incredible as she can instantly enter Blood Moon State and then apply Damage Reduction effects, so if you're going to use the Dusk Devotion synergy with her on PVP, you will have a great time.
