Iluga kit leaks: Talents and Abilities
Iluga’s kit revolves around summoning a bird companion to apply consistent off-field Geo damage while boosting team damage through stacks and buffs.
Elemental Skill
Summons Gale, a messenger bird that dashes toward enemies, applying Geo damage and following the on-field character. Different results occur depending on tap vs hold activation. The scaling is based on both Elemental Mastery and DEF, making flexible build paths viable.
Elemental Burst
Iluga lights a lamp, dealing AoE Geo damage and gaining Nightingale’s Song stacks. Team members consume stacks when dealing Geo damage, increasing output significantly based on Iluga’s EM. Stacks increase further when Geo constructs exist on the field.
Also grants buffs to Geo damage, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Lunar Crystallize reaction damage.
Team Synergy and Role
Iluga appears designed as a Geo support for units like Zibai, Navia, Noelle, Albedo, and Itto. His kit also increases effectiveness in Geo + Hydro compositions by boosting Crit stats and Geo scaling based on party elements.
His passive bonuses enhance movement speed at night and buff team Elemental Mastery when his Burst and Skill are active.
Constellations Overview
His constellations enhance energy regeneration, additional damage summons from Gale, stronger buffs, and increased Geo Crit scaling. C6 dramatically improves his team support value.
Iluga looks set to become a valuable addition to the Geo roster, especially for players lacking Geo buffers or who build around Crystallize-combat teams. With strong off-field damage, Geo buffs, reaction synergy, and EM scaling, he may reshape Geo meta prioritization.
