Klissa guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Klissa is a Rare Wind Melee Attacker from the Ironbands Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. She breaks a target's defenses and then hits it hard. Fracture casts two DEF Down debuffs on one enemy, Cold Iron Swing Pushes it away, and Death Blizzard casts ATK Up on her before a heavy hit.
Her damage scales from ATK. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Klissa has 733 ATK, 540 DEF and 6,687 HP, with 23 Accuracy and 37 Mana Gen. Those are ordinary numbers for a Rare Melee Attacker, so she needs a Tank and healer beside her.
Only eight Invokers Push, and Cold Iron Swing's 7m Push can push a dangerous melee enemy back 7m. Fracture's two DEF Down debuffs also raise the damage your whole team deals to that target.
She has no healing, Shields or area damage, so she is a single-target Invoker. Fracture and Cold Iron Swing both need Accuracy to land.
Skills To Prioritize
Fracture hits one enemy twice and casts two DEF Down debuffs. They are 12% each for eight seconds at Level 1, 15% each for 12 seconds at Level 10 and 20% each at Max Level. Each hit deals 137.5% of her ATK at Level 1 and 275% at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 25 seconds to 21 at Level 10 and 20 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Cold Iron Swing hits one enemy and Pushes it 7m away. It deals 275% of her ATK at Level 1, 517% at Level 10 and 550% at Max Level. The cooldown falls from 28 seconds to 24 at Level 10 and 22 at Max Level. It needs Accuracy.
Death Blizzard, her Ultimate, casts ATK Up on her and then hits one enemy. The ATK Up is 35% for ten seconds at Level 1, 40% for 15 seconds at Level 10 and 45% for 18 seconds at Max Level. The hit deals 467.5% of her ATK at Level 1, 878.9% at Level 10 and 935% at Max Level. Its cost falls from 900 Mana to 850 at Level 10 and 800 at Max Level.
Frostshatter hits one enemy on a ten-second cooldown for 132.5% of her ATK at Level 1 and 265% at Max Level.
If you want Klissa to help your team's damage, upgrade Fracture first, as Max Level casts two 20% DEF Down debuffs lasting 12 seconds. If you want her to hit hardest on her own, upgrade Death Blizzard first, as its 45% ATK Up lasts 18 seconds at Max Level and the hit reaches 935% ATK.
Build And Team Support
Build Crit Rate to around 75-80%, then as much Crit DMG as the build allows, because her Skills hit hard and she casts no Bleed or Burn. Fracture and Cold Iron Swing need Accuracy to land, so put Accuracy on your Chestplate and your Flask. Mana Gen on your Talisman helps her reach Death Blizzard, and Skill RECOV brings back Fracture, which carries her kit.
For Relic Sets, Crit Rate Relics make her critical hits more reliable, Crit Damage Relics and Predator raise how hard they hit, and Accuracy Relics help her DEF Down land. Mana Relics help her reach Death Blizzard sooner, and Fury Relics bring back Fracture and Cold Iron Swing sooner. Her native Fatigue Tolerance covers one Corruption on Althar, Yskara and Wind Omnissi.
Pair her with a Tank and a healer.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Fracture's DEF Down opens up the enemy's carry for your team, and Cold Iron Swing can push a dangerous melee enemy away. Be wary of enemy Invokers with Immunity or debuff cleansing, as they can wipe out her DEF Down before your team uses it.
Against Yskara, Melee Attackers shine, and Klissa's native Fatigue Tolerance covers one of her two Corruptions. It also covers one of the two Corruptions on Althar and on Wind Omnissi. Against Galvos, who takes 5% more damage from attacks per debuff, Fracture casts two DEF Down debuffs at once, so she adds two to his count.
Against Sedula, Fracture's two DEF Down debuffs raise the damage your team deals to her, and Death Blizzard's ATK Up lasts 18 seconds at Max Level, which covers 18 of her 60 seconds. Her Skills hit only one enemy, so other Invokers must clear her Tentacles. Sedula changes Element every day, and Klissa has Elemental Advantage on the days she is Water.
In the Wind Spire, Fracture and Death Blizzard remove the toughest enemy in a wave. Pair her with Invokers of a similar Rarity: Hallea, a Rare Wind Support, heals and casts Shields and ATK Down, Atanna the Convincer, an Epic Wind Tank, casts Taunt and ATK Down, and Heatstroke Stila, an Uncommon Wind Ranged Attacker, casts Bleed and DEF Down.
Awaken
Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Klissa's potential.
Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
