Honkai Star Rail Black Swan Abilities
Black Swan has an innate talent for delivering DoT (Damage Over Time). This ability is called Loom of Fate’s Caprice and can be further elevated based on the quantity of Arcana Stacks.
Black Swan’s move, Nihility lets her deploy slight damage while providing a high chance of casting Arcana. This poses a high threat to the enemy defenses. Bliss of Otherworld’s Embrace is her Ultimate, letting her deploy massive damage by casting Epiphany on the targets. From Façade to Vérité is the technique used by Black Swan to inflict repeated Arcana Damage at the start of the proceeding battle.
It is necessary to create a compatible Black Swan Build to maximize these DoT-based abilities of this wind-style character.
