• Rehabilitation (Basic Skill): It deals 180%/270%/450% damage with one/two/three-star rank cards to a single target. The Arcanist also gains one Eureka and spends two to deal 60%/90%/150% extra damage with one/two/three-star rank cards. The excess critical rate will be converted into critical damage for Rehabilitation.
• Practicability (Basic Skill): This skill deals 110%/165%/285% damage to two enemies with one/two/three-star rank cards. She also gains one Eureka and one/two/three stacks of Preparation with one/two/three-star rank cards.
• Long Long Journey (Ultimate Skill): It debuffs a single target, applying one stack of Confusion to them. Then, she enters Mapping status for the round and gains two Eureka. After that, she converts all cards at hand to Rehabilitation of the same rank and casts them all if able.

Explanation of the status effects

• Confusion: Confusion reduces enemies’ critical resistance by 25% (this effect can stack, and each is timed independently).
• Mapping: In Mapping status, she cannot lose Eureka and gains one stack of Measure (This effect is undispellable).
• Preparation: At the next round’s beginning, she generates a Precast Incantation - Rehabilitation (can stack). If there is no Practicability at hand, she generates additional Precast Incantation - Practicability.
