Luocha Abilities, Eidolon, Traces

Luocha was available in the closed beta of Honkai Star Rail, meaning we have information about what his kit will look like. 

Abilities

• Thorns of the Abyss (Basic Attack): Deals 50% of Luocha's ATK as Ice DMG to a target enemy.
• Prayer of Abyss Flower (Skill): After using his Skill, the target ally's HP will immediately be restored by 48% of Luocha's ATK plus 160. Meanwhile, Lupcha gains 1 stack of Abyss Flower. When the HP of the target ally is 50% or lower, Luocha will immediately use his Skill 1 time on them (without consuming Skill Points). This effect can be triggered again when the conditions are met after Luocha takes action 2 more time(s). 
• Death Wish (Ultimate): Deals 80% of Luocha's ATK as Imaginary DMG to all enemies and dispels 1 enemy buff(s). For every enemy buff dispelled, Luocha gains 1 stack of Abyss Flower.

Talent: Cycle of Life 

When Abyss Flower is stacked 3 time(s), Luocha consumes all stacks to deploy a Field against the enemy. When an enemy unit in the Field is attacked by an ally, the ally immediately restored HP equal to 10.8% of Luocha's ATK plus 36. The Field effect lasts 2 turn(s).
