C1
The Cadence of Suppressive Fire
Valeriy regenerates 6 Elemental Energy after performing the special Charged Attack Direct-Fire Mortar: Point-Blank Bombardment.

Each time he performs Direct-Fire Mortar: Point-Blank Bombardment, he can regenerate up to 15 Elemental Energy in this way. This effect can trigger once every 15s. Additionally, each time Valeriy enters combat, the first time he uses his Elemental Skill Active Defense: Bastion Charge, he gains an additional amount of Impact Momentum equal to 150% of the amount normally gained.
C2
Ranks That Charge as One
All nearby party members gain 100 Elemental Mastery for 18s after Valeriy uses his Elemental Skill Active Defense: Bastion Charge. Additionally, while protected by a Supercharged Shield, if Valeriy is already at maximum Impact Momentum, any further Impact Momentum he would gain is instead converted into increased DMG Absorption for the shield. Each point of excess Impact Momentum increases the Supercharged Shield's DMG Absorption by an amount equal to 8% of Valeriy's ATK. Up to 20 excess Impact Momentum can be converted in this way.
C3
Vigilance at Close Quarters
Increases the Level of Normal Attack Guard Tactics: Sword and Shield by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Fortitude Unshaken by Attrition
Impact Momentum's limit is increased by 30, and its charging efficiency is increased by 30%.

You must unlock the Ascension Talent Advance With the Creeping Barrage to gain access to this effect.

C6
The Strength to Breach Enemy Lines

If the Electro DMG taken is Stellar-Conduct reaction DMG, that DMG instance's CRIT DMG is also increased by 40%.

Valeriy outfits

1 outfit

Default
Steel and Sash
Valeriy's outfit. As an officer, he must often engage in both frontline combat and command work, and as such, durability is a must for his uniform. And as the commander of the Special Assignments Battalion, Armory Palace Royal Grenadier Guards, First Regiment, he must also grace some official settings with his presence, and so he must also dress with suitable gravitas. This outfit, therefore, was custom-tailored to fulfil both duties at once, which cuts down on time required to change uniforms.
