When Chain Attack: Trick of Fate hits an enemy or Hugo's attacks Stun an enemy, Hugo gains the Dark Abyss Reverb state for 6s, and repeated triggers reset the duration. During this state, Hugo's CRIT Rate increases by 12% and CRIT DMG increases by 25%.
When there are 1/2 Stun characters in your squad, Hugo's ATK increases by X/Y.
When the Finishing Move of EX Special Attack: Soul Hunter - Punishment or Ultimate: Blaspheme hits an enemy while they are Stunned, it triggers the Totalize effect, increasing the DMG Multiplier of the skill's Finishing Move by X%. Additionally, the Totalize effect further increases the skill's DMG multiplier based on the remaining Stun time of the enemy when triggered: for each remaining second of Stun time from the portion that is less than or equal to 5s, the skill's DMG multiplier increases by X%; for each remaining second of Stun time from the portion between 5 and 15s, the skill's DMG multiplier increases by Y%. The total increase can raise the skill's DMG multiplier by a maximum of X%.
After Hugo triggers the Totalize effect, the enemy's Stunned state will immediately end. Based on the remaining Stun time at the moment Totalize is triggered, a certain amount of Daze will be accumulated. For every second of Stun time remaining, 5% Daze is accumulated, up to a maximum Daze equivalent to 25% of the enemy's maximum Daze.
When EX Special Attack: Soul Hunter - Punishment hits an enemy, if the enemy is not Stunned, the Daze accumulated by the skill increases by 20%.

Mindscape Cinema

01

Child of Hatred

"So, do not deny your own desires, do not resist your own ambition. This is the talent you were born with, the best gift fate has ever given you!"
"Admit it, deep within your heart lies a spark, yearning to ignite a raging inferno that will burn everything down—"
"And I, am that spark."

"Yeah, I know. I've always known."

When triggering the Totalize effect in the Dark Abyss Reverb state, the skill's CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 12%, and CRIT DMG by 30%.

02

The Child Within

"Family is an everlasting, unavoidable curse placed upon a person."
"No matter how much you grow, no matter where you go, that curse will forever follow you like a shadow."
"When you fall to rock bottom or climb to your peak, it will appear, turning you back into that helpless, powerless child who can do nothing but hide in the closet and weep."

"Unless you truly see him, embrace him."
Some pain can only be healed when it is seen and accepted.

When Ultimate: Blaspheme triggers Totalize, it will not end the enemy's Stunned state.
Additionally, when Totalize is triggered, the skill will ignore 15% of the enemy's DEF.

03

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

They say that the flowers that bloom in the abyss are always soaked in malice, just like how a poisonous tree can't bear safe fruit.
But all fruit falls.
So, he broke himself into a rain of shattered pieces.
The rain covered the earth, and each dewdrop reflected a fresh new dawn.

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

04

Dramatic Theory

Justice, evil, madness, reason, charm, stubbornness.
He's composed of countless faces.
"So, which is the real you?"
"That's not important. How about, instead, you tell me, Lycaon—"
"What kind of person do you see in me?"

After a Charged Shot hits an enemy, Hugo's attacks against that target will ignore 12% of that target's Ice RES for 15s, repeated triggers reset the duration.

05

Nirvana

The world doesn't need to be destroyed and rebuilt, and no one has the right to do such.
But a person can.
So, he shattered himself and was reborn.
"If I must fall, let me fall. The person I am meant to become will surely catch me."

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

06

Crown of Thorns

He walked willingly toward the endless abyss, letting the thorns on the ground tear at his wounds.
Where the blood spread, broken dignity and stubbornness began to sprout from the wounds.
He picked up the blood-soaked thorns to crown himself.
"There's only ever been one person who can kill me or save me... And that is me."

All shooting attacks that hit enemies trigger the Dark Abyss Reverb state, lasting up to 6s, and repeated triggers reset the duration.
Additionally, whenever any skill triggers the Totalize effect, that DMG is further increased by 60%.
The Finishing Move of EX Special Attack: Soul Hunter - Punishment also triggers the Totalize effect when hitting an enemy that isn't Stunned, boosting the DMG multiplier of the Finishing Move by a fixed 1,000 %.
