Invoking secret pacts passed down by her tribe over the millennia, Citlali deploys an Opal Shield and calls forth “Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Itzpapa,” a creature that is (reputedly) terrifying beyond compare, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG.
The Opal Shield’s DMG absorption scales based on Citlali’s Elemental Mastery, and absorbs Cryo DMG with 250% efficiency. When it is deployed, it will cause Citlali to briefly be affected by Cryo.
After using this skill, Citlali gains 24 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul’s Blessing state.

Nightsoul’s Blessing: Citlali
When Itzpapa leaves the field, Citlali exits the Nightsoul’s Blessing state.

Itzpapa

  • Itzpapa will follow the character.
  • If Citlali has at least 50 Nightsoul points, Itzpapa enters the Opal Fire state and continuously consumes Nightsoul points to whip up a Frostfall Storm that attacks opponents within its AoE, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Cryo DMG.
  • When Citlali’s Nightsoul points are fully depleted, Itzpapa’s Opal Fire state also ends.

Summons “allies” from the starry skies and the vast earth, hurling forth an ice storm to bombard the area in front and deal Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG. This restores a set amount of Nightsoul points for Citlali, and also summons a Spiritvessel Skull near a maximum of 3 opponents within the AoE, with 1 Skull for each opponent. Spiritvessel Skulls explode after some time, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG and restoring a set amount of Nightsoul points for Citlali.

Citlali Passive Talents

Songs of Profound Mystery

Utility Passive

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, triggering “Nightsoul Burst” restores 20 Phlogiston.
This cannot take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss.

Smoke, Mirrors, and the Flowing Winds

Night Realm’s Gift

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, can use Nightsoul Transmission: Citlali. When the active character is currently high enough in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Citlali: Citlali will leap up high, and will deploy “White Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Citlalin” to float in the air. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your party.

Holding Aiming Mode will cause Citlali to enter the “Spiritspeaker” state, which will allow her to interact with “Nightspirit Graffiti” and “Nightspirit Sigils,” extracting information and power from them. The rules for interacting with these objects follow the same rules as those governing Iktomisaurus interactions.

Additionally, holding the jump button will cause Citlali to consume 75 Stamina and leap. In areas within Natlan where Phlogiston mechanics are present, Citlali will prioritize consuming 5 Phlogiston to leap to a height higher still.
When in the air, Citlali can Hold her Normal Attack to consume Phlogiston or Stamina and enter Aiming Mode and trigger Charged Attacks: When initiating Charged Attacks in mid-air, Citlali will prioritize consuming 20 Phlogiston.
