Lora

Lora is the vessel of a primal spirit—a deadly force that frightens even her allies. An orphan with few memories of her past, she’s determined to master this power before she loses anyone else.

  • (Passive) Channeling: Lora channels the power of her Avatar by damaging enemies with attacks and abilities. Once her power has fully charged, she enters the Channeling state, empowering her abilities.

  • Clobber: Launch a spirit fist forward, smashing through enemies in its path. Channeled: Lunge forward expelling a massive spirit fist causing additional break, damage and knocks enemies back. Clobber’s cooldown is reset whenever Lora enters Channeling.

  • Possession: The Avatar exerts its presence, granting Lora a damage shield that reflects damage back to attackers for a short duration; also Lora and nearby allies gain a protective aura that reduces incoming damage. Channeled: The Avatar manifests to pull in and smash nearby enemies and all party members will gain the reflective damage shield in addition to the damage reduction aura.

  • Seismic Launch: Quickly dash forward, damaging any enemies in front of you. Channeled: Knocks back enemies while reducing incoming damage. The dash can be held and charged for increased distance.

  • Unleash: Unleash your spirit, transforming into the Avatar. The Avatar regenerates health, is greatly resistant to all damage and can pummel enemies with its fists.

  • Lora has 8 collectible armor sets and 2 cosmetic personas
