HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
Piercing Strike- Enhanced basic attack from e and this skill cannot be stacked. The enhanced basic attack effect from this this skill will be replaced by Brave Assault's.
Brave Assault- Airborne — high-level control: interrupts most skills, but not skills with control immunity; blocked by control immunity.
- Enhanced basic attack from Piercing Strike and this skill cannot be stacked. The enhanced basic attack effect from this this skill will be replaced by Piercing Strike's.
Energy Eruption- Taunt — basic-level control: interrupts only some skills, not most channels; blocked by control immunity.
- This skill is learned together with Appraiser's Wrath. Between Fredrinn's latter two skills, Valentina can only siphon and copy this skill with I Am You.
Appraiser's Wrath- This skill cannot be interrupted.
- 175% increased critical damage from this skill does not benefit from Critical Damage attribute.
- This skill cannot be interrupted. This doesn't mean that Fredrinn gains CC immunity. It means the hit will still be executed even if Fredrinn gets crowd controlled.
