A Stellar-Conduct reaction team centered around Valeriy's support and shield capabilities, with Cyno as main Electro DPS, Mitya providing off-field Electro application, and Odette converting Superconduct and Cryo Swirl into Stellar-Conduct reactions while boosting reaction damage.

The team leverages Stellar-Conduct reactions, where Valeriy enhances Electro Stellar-Conduct damage and provides shields, Cyno infuses Normal Attacks with Electro via his Burst, Mitya supplies continuous off-field Electro, and Odette converts Superconduct and Cryo Swirl into Stellar-Conduct/Stellar Swirl while amplifying reaction damage.

Outfits

Steel and Sash

Default

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.
