Ascension Materials and Stats

Combat Talents

Citlali attack skill #1

Normal Attack: Shadow-Stealing Spirit Vessel

Normal Attack
Calls upon secret arts passed down through the Masters of the Night-Wind from generation to generation, performing up to three strikes that deal Cryo DMG.

Charged Attack
Enters Aiming Mode, and after Holding, consumes a certain amount of Stamina to call forth a Frost Star that deals Cryo DMG to opponents in its path.

Plunging Attack
Gathers the power of Cryo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals Aoe Cryo DMG upon impact with the ground.
Citlali attack skill #2

Dawnfrost Darkstar

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
ยทItzpapa will follow the character.
ยทIf 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 follows the character and attacks opponents within its AoE, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Cryo DMG.
ยทWhen Citlali's Nightsoul points are fully depleted, Itzpapa's Opal Fire state also ends.

Usually, the wills that symbolize different stars cannot coexist, for how can purest black be reflected in purest white?
Be that as it may, Citlali has never harbored a particular preference for colors themselves, and that is just how things played out.
Citlali attack skill #3

Edict of Entwined Splendor

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.

"Ugh, enough of this 'dark star, opal star' stuff! Citlalin, Itzpapa, get 'em!"

Passive Talents

Citlali attack skill #1

Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain

While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger the Frozen or Melt reactions, the Pyro and Hydro RES of opponents affected by that reaction decreases by 20% for 12s. Additionally, Citlali will regain 16 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul points can be restored this way once every 8s.
Citlali attack skill #2

Itzpapalotl's Star Garments

During the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm DMG is increased by 90% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. During the Elemental Burst Edict of Entwined Splendor, Ice Storm DMG is increased by 1200% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery.
In addition, when nearby party members trigger Nightsoul Bursts, Citlali regains 4 Nightsoul points.
Citlali attack skill #3

Night Realm's Gift: Smoke, Mirrors, and the Flowing Winds

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.

Constellations

Citlali constellation skill #1

1. Radiant Blades of Centzon Mimixcoah

When she uses the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Citlali gains the "Opalstar Vestments" effect until Itzpapa leaves the field. During this time, she will obtain 10 stacks of Stellar Blade. When a nearby active character other than Citlali deals DMG using Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts, 1 stack of Stellar Blade will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 200% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery.
After nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, Citlali will gain another 3 stacks of Stellar Blade. This effect can trigger once every 8s.

Using the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar will reset Stellar Blade stacks.
Additionally, when Citlali is using her leap, or is Aiming or using her Charged Attack in mid-air, her Phlogiston consumption is decreased by 45%.
Citlali constellation skill #2

2. Heart Devourer's Travail

Citlali gains 125 Elemental Mastery, and other characters shielded by her Opal Shield, or who have Itzpapa following them, gain 250 Elemental Mastery.
Additionally, when the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar is used, nearby active characters will also be granted an Opal Shield.

Also, the Passive Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" has its effects enhanced:
While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, the opponent(s) affected by this reaction will have their Pyro and Hydro RES additionally decreased by 20% for 12s. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" to gain access to the above effect.
Citlali constellation skill #3

3. Cloud Serpent's Feathered Crown

Increases the Level of Dawnfrost Darkstar by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Citlali constellation skill #4

4. Death Defier's Spirit Skull

While the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar is active, when Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm hits opponents, an additional Obsidian Spiritvessel Skull will be summoned. When a Spiritvessel Skull summoned this way explodes, it deals 1800% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery as Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG and restores 16 Nightsoul points and 8 Energy for Citlali. This effect can trigger once every 8s. This DMG is not considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Citlali constellation skill #5

5. Nemontemi's Hex

Increases the Level of Edict of Entwined Splendor by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Citlali constellation skill #6

6. Teoiztac's Secret Pact

After being summoned with the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Itzpapa will always be in the Opal Fire state, and when Nightsoul points are exhausted, this state will not end.
Additionally, when Dawnfrost Darkstar is used, Itzpapa will consume all Nightsoul points, and while it is on the field, it will continuously consume Nightsoul points. Each Nightsoul point consumed in this way will grant Citlali 1 "Cifra of the Secret Law" point.
A maximum of 40 such points can be gained, and each point Citlali possesses will grant all nearby party members a 1.5% Pyro and Hydro DMG Bonus, and increase the DMG Citlali deals by 2.5%.
When Itzpapa leaves the field, or upon using Citlali's Elemental Skill again, all "Cifra of the Secret Law" points she has will be removed.

Quotes

Hello

I am Citlali from the Masters of the Night-Wind. I have read the stars and seen the future through the obscuring smoke. You shall be blessed with good fortune and have the aid of powerful allies during your journey. Allow me to join you โ€” Hey, I can be serious! Stop looking at me like that!

Chat: Novels

Iโ€”I've read almost every novel from Yae Publishing House. Pโ€”Pretty normal, right?

Chat: Drinking

Here's to a life where the drinks keep flowing and the Mora keeps rolling!

Chat: Trance

Going into a trance is risky for most people, so don't get any ideas.

When It Rains

A perfect day to stay home and read.

After the Rain

We should be able to see the stars tonight.

When It Snows

Argh! I've never seen this stuff before!

In the Desert

*spitting noise* Oh, that wasn't me spitting on the ground. I know better than that! I just had some sand in my mouth, I swear!

Good Morning

*yawn* Morning. The last time I woke up this early, I was still a student. Now that I'm a master, I get to sleep in. Anyway, what do you need?

Good Afternoon

Afternoon! I'm someone with a lot of restraint, y'know. After I wake up, I never drink before noon... Although, sometimes it takes me all night to perform a ceremony and I don't sleep at all. So, no promises when that happens...

Good Evening

Evening! Areas with large amounts of phlogiston activity are warm no matter what, but in more remote parts of Natlan, the temperature really drops at night, so remember to bundle up. Huh? You didn't ask? Well, I'm telling you anyway!

Good Night

Good night! The obscuring smoke and spirits of the earth are in a light slumber, and the inauspicious stars are faint โ€” a fine evening by all accounts. Wait, how did my pillow get on the floor...

About Citlali: Mirage Warriors

Ah, looks like someone's interested! "Mirage Warriors" is a fantasy novel by Nakajima Jun โ€” it's one of the oldest and most renowned works to come out of Yae Publishing House. The story takes place in an island kingdom known as "Ashihara." The protagonist for most of the chapters is "Higashi no Sankun," a feline-headed hermit who came from across the eastern seas, but their true identity is actually the ancient vassal, the Viceroy of the East. The story is incredibly long... The author changed three times, but in the end, the truth of the "Houko" was still never revealed...

About Citlali: Endings

The Ode of Resurrection can bring back our physical bodies, but everything will meet its end one day, even the sun and the stars. Oh, you want to know what death is like? Picture an afternoon suspended in time โ€” you're riding a Saurian through a vast plain, and an unknown figure stands on the horizon. No matter how fast you ride, the figure is always out of reach โ€” until it charges toward you without warning. There's nowhere to hide, and when you come face to face, that is the end.

About Us: Giving Help

*sigh* Other than my seniority in the tribe, I really don't know what I can offer you. Your allies are powerful, and your future is bright โ€” you should be perfectly fine on your own... Besides, shouldn't an old-timer like me be allowed to relax at home all day? Unless you need me to get someone to fall in line... Wait, you don't really need that, right?

About Us: Awkwardness

Iโ€”I treat you just like everyone else, I swear! Fine, the people in my tribe only know me through rumors that have been around for generations. But, you see the real me. My confident and uninhibited persona is just an act, because that's what people expect out of me... But, the awkwardness, the anxiety, the uncertainty โ€” that's who I really am. I won't lie to you, but don't expect me to pour my heart out more than once.

About the Vision

In a way, obtaining a Vision is like gaining a powerful ally. But, saying someone has powerful allies is more of a comment on how extraordinary that person already is. After all, allies only augment your existing strength. Unleashing that strength depends entirely on your own will.

Something to Share

It takes two weeks for a serialized Inazuma novel to reach Natlan, and a whole year for the chapters to come out in a single volume. I'm not sure if there's some kind of deeper meaning behind this, but during those two weeks, there are so many crazy spoilers and leaks. It's impossible to tell speculation from complete misinformation.

Interesting Things

According to legend, there was once a special kind of cactus in Natlan that my master's master called the "mescalito." Eating it is supposed to allow even mortal eyes to see into another realm. It was just all a rumor, of course โ€” I have no idea if it still exists. But, if you ever see one, don't try it, okay?

About Ororon

Hmph.

About Mualani

Between me and Mualani, I honestly don't know who owes who anymore. She breaks my door, owes me Mora, steals my food, but then she brings me snacks and pays for other things... It's too hard to keep track. I'm more than happy to just call it even at this point. Anything to get her to stop waking me up at eleven in the morning... Oh, I mean, um... Never mind! She just startles me with her knocking, that's all.

About Xilonen

She's someone who completely ignores the rumors about me and doesn't go overboard with friendliness. So, I always feel comfortable around her. Oh! Not that I feel uncomfortable around you! I'm just... overthinking everything, as usual... Great, now you know that, too.

About Mavuika

Heh, Mavuika... *ahem* I mean, the Archon came to talk to me the other day. It wasn't until I was eating snacks in the middle of the night that I realized she was basically bragging the whole time! There's an ancient saying from another land that goes, "Saints are humble until you ask them about their duty โ€” that's when their pride stands tall." I think that fits her perfectly.

About Kamisato Ayaka

...You, young lady over there, turn around and let me have a look. Ah, so this is from The Case Files of Miss Orith. I thought it was the second female lead from Great Detective Herlock. All Fontaine clothes look the same to me. Alright, you can be on your way now. That's all I wanted to say.

About Kinich

The small thing that follows him around is a nasty piece of work. Oh, Kinich is a friend of yours? Huh, what else can I say about him... He's pretty reliable, I suppose.

About Iansan

I don't know her that well, but I do know light novels... Someone who's that powerful despite her size must have some kind of power-up that she uses to shoot up to seven feet tall and fight with 200% strength.

More About Citlali: I

Huh? Where is this coming from all of a sudden? Did you hear one of the rumors about me? *sigh* Fine, it's true! I'm the oldest, strangest, and scariest shaman in the tribe. Believe what you want โ€” I gave up explaining myself a long time ago.

More About Citlali: II

You want me to explain anyway? *sigh* There's an unspoken tradition in my tribe. Shaman masters deliberately foster rivalries between their students and a rival master. That way, if the students want to defeat that master without getting obliterated, they need to work hard to surpass the previous generation. Most of the shamans in the tribe belong to the school founded by my friend. They chose me as the evil witch to defeat, so what can I do? I'm not trying to make their lives difficult! It's not my fault none of them can put up a fight! *sigh* Anyway, the rumors about me being a terrifying old hag... That's how it all started.

More About Citlali: III

That's right. I put on an act in front of other people, but this is my real personality. It's pretty simple, actually. If people expect you to speak like an old-timer with an accent, and you respond with elegant, standard speech, people will be shocked out of their minds. Yeah, you're right โ€” it's the stupidity of ignorance. But, ignorance is the hardest thing to overcome. After all, when we first met, I didn't expect you to be any different from the rest of them.

More About Citlali: IV

So, the shaman masters in my tribe trick their students into forming a grudge against me, but do you want to know how? This is the most traditional method โ€” say you were cheated by a scammer, then send your students to graffiti the scammer's house. With a little righteous indignation on your side, you can get them to do anything! See how unfair that is? At least most people can recognize my house from a random scammer now, so I don't get that one as much.

More About Citlali: V

Oh, these wine bottles? The Saurian Relics Association found them... No, no, they're not mine. Heh, tossing them carelessly like this... Ororon must have drank them! Isn't that right, Ororon!? Come out and apologize! My tolerance is high, you see, so I don't get drunk easily. Even when I am drunk, I never litter like this. Besides, the Association said they were found in the wild. Oh! In a completely harmless location, of course โ€” NOT that it matters, anyway, because I wasn't the one who tossed them, and... Who cares! Just trust me!

Citlali's Hobbies

My life is nearly completely devoid of meaning. Nothing remains but groggy stupor after sleeping, delusional fantasies from novels, and the comfort at the bottom of a bottle.

Citlali's Troubles

You really have to ask? I pretend not to care about anything as a shield. In reality, all I do is worry about things.

Favorite Food

First, I like my meat cooked medium, so it retains some of the original flavor of a sacrificial offering. Next would be anything that's easy to eat with one hand so I can read at the same time. Oh, and then anything you recommend, of course!

Least Favorite Food

I don't quite... get the point of sour foods. You eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and sleep when you're tired. If sour foods are meant to whet the appetite, doesn't that mean you weren't hungry in the first place?

Receiving a Gift: I

Whoa, this is delicious! I've tried every place around the Masters of the Night-Wind, and I've never had anything as amazing as this โ€” I swear!

Receiving a Gift: II

Huh, I don't usually eat things like this... No, wait! I'm not saying it's bad! You... introduced me to a new flavor! It's a compliment โ€” cross my heart!

Receiving a Gift: III

Mโ€”Must be something wrong with my tastebuds, ahahaha...

Birthday

Happy birthday! Honestly, I don't know what to get you. There are no inauspicious stars in your path. Whether in regard to love, battle, or your future endeavors, your prospects seem great. A Mictlan-style blessing won't do much for you. I thought about getting you a copy of "Flowers for Princess Fischl" to get you hooked on light novels, but it seems like someone owns more books from Yae Publishing House than me... Ahh, what to do... what to do?

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

Hmm, this doesn't feel like a divination technique from beyond this world. My school of shamanism relies on the earth rather than the sky. When the fake inauspicious stars show their teeth, I bind them with the spirit of the earth, the bones of dead animals, and the power of the obscuring smoke.

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

The heavens control human fate like a puppeteer controls a marionette. So, the inauspicious stars themselves do not have free will. But, once I seal their power inside of a doll and bind it with animal bones, the residual thoughts within the bones allow them to develop awareness. I call these, uh, little creations, "Tzitzimimeh." You can think of them as manifestations of the inauspicious stars.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

Each Tzitzimitl contains the bones of small animals, which is kind of a creepy technique if you think about it. So, when it comes to people being afraid of me... I guess I bear, maybe, ten percent of the responsibility. But, I don't harm any animals! I just find the bones in the wild!

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

From this point on, I will always be by your side โ€” until the stars diminish, the flames die out, and the smoke dissipates into nothing.

Elemental Skill: I

Get to work!

Elemental Skill: II

Fulfill our pact.

Elemental Skill: III

Show no mercy.

Elemental Skill: IV

Carefully... carefully...

Elemental Skill: V

Steady now...

Elemental Skill: VI

Just like that...

Elemental Burst: I

You two โ€” time to end them!

Elemental Burst: II

Citlalin, Itzpapa, get 'em!

Elemental Burst: III

Suffer the wrath of Itztli!

Opening Treasure Chest: I

Hm, not bad. It's all yours.

Opening Treasure Chest: II

Go on, take them. I'll thank the stars for you later.

Opening Treasure Chest: III

Is it too much to carry? Here, lemme help.

Low HP: I

Should've stayed inside...

Low HP: II

*sigh* I wanna go home...

Low HP: III

Gotta... be strong...

Ally at Low HP: I

...Hey, no dying!

Ally at Low HP: II

Reckless much?

Fallen: I

Take me... stars above...

Fallen: II

Take me... earth below...

Fallen: III

I'm... sorry...

Heavy Hit Taken: I

How dare you!

Heavy Hit Taken: II

Ow ow ow...

Joining Party: I

I'm never late...

Joining Party: II

Leave me aloโ€” Ahh, never mind! Let's go!

Joining Party: III

Whatever you need.
