OverviewNightsoul Transmission is a mechanism that triggers when the active character is performing an action such as sprinting, swimming, etc. It allows the player to fluidly change to a Natlanese character and enter their Nightsoul's Blessing State immediately. It has a 10s Cooldown, which is shared between all Natlanese characters in the party. Depending on the character, if required, a small amount of Nightsoul Points is also given to maintain the state.This is a pseudo-state and is separate from the normal Nightsoul's Blessing State. At any time, players can enter the Nightsoul's Blessing State using Elemental Skill. However, the remaining Nightsoul Points from Nightsoul Transmission will not be recovered or used to extend the state.Tutorial:CharactersNightsoul Points Gained: 40Trigger Conditions:SprintingSwimmingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 30Trigger Conditions:SprintingClimbingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 0Trigger Conditions:SprintingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsIn the airNightsoul Points Gained: 20Phlogiston Points Restored: 15Trigger Conditions:SprintingClimbingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points gained during Nightsoul's Transmission has a 4s time limit and will expire immediately after, ending her Nightsoul's Blessing State.If Xilonen's Elemental Skill is used to enter Nightsoul's Blessing State within this time limit, it will be extended to 9s.Nightsoul Points Gained: 32Trigger Conditions:At a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 0Trigger Conditions:At a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 40Trigger Conditions:SprintingSwimmingClimbingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 0Trigger Conditions:At a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 20Trigger Conditions:SprintingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 25Trigger Conditions:SprintingIn a movement mode caused by certain TalentsAt a certain height in the airNightsoul Points Gained: 32Trigger Conditions:At a certain height in the airNightsoul Transmission-related AbilitiesThe party's Nightsoul Transmission CD is decreased by 20%.

Adaptive CountermeasuresAdaptive Countermeasures are a core mechanic of Natlan's Secret Source Automaton enemies. This state is displayed in-game as a circular indicator next to their HP bar that fills when the enemy is attacked by, or is in proximity to, characters in the Nightsoul's Blessing state.Related EnemiesWhen the indicator next to its HP bar fills, the automaton unleashes a powerful attack, but also enters a vulnerable state with significantly reduced RES.When the indicator next to its HP bar fills, the automaton activates its Accretion Mechanism, which creates two Solid Phlogiston pillars. Characters must climb the Solid Phlogiston (best done using abilities from the Children of Echoes) to destroy the Accretion Mechanism, putting the enemy in a vulnerable state.During Sweeper Mode, the Automaton builds Adaptive Countermeasures when characters in Nightsoul's Blessing state are nearby. When the gauge is full and some Flow Momentum is already generated, it enters Counterstrike Mode, greatly lowering its RES and triggering periodic Hydro attacks on the player's position.Void WardVoid Ward is a shield mechanic unique to certain Natlan enemies.Enemies protected by a Void Ward cannot take damage until the shield is fully depleted through Elemental attacks. Nightsoul-aligned DMG is especially effective at breaking the shield, with a single attack counting as three normal Elemental Attacks.Alternatively, a way to deal with these shields without using Nightsoul-aligned characters is by relying on sources of very rapid Elemental application, such as the Burning reaction.Tutorial:Related Enemies
