In the upcoming version 2.4 of Crescendo, Katheryne, a highly anticipated character, is set to make her debut. As an Anemo element, agile sword-wielding character, Katheryne not only features a unique dual-form switching mechanism but also brings a variety of skill combinations and an innovative resonance chain design. This article provides an in-depth analysis of Katheryne’s skills, exclusive weapon, and resonance chain effects to help players better master the tactical gameplay of this new character.
Dual Siblings: The Debate of Forms and the Dance of the Wind
Katheryne is a 5-star Anemo element, agile sword character with a unique dual-form switching mechanism. Players can adapt their combat style by switching between Katheryne’s form and Fleurdelis’ form according to battle needs.

Normal Attacks
Katheryne’s normal attacks can perform up to four consecutive strikes, each dealing Anemo damage. The fourth attack applies two layers of Anemo corrosion. Charged attacks summon shadows of the authority sword, while mid-air attacks retrieve all sword shadows on the field, enhancing the plunging attack.
Resonance Skills
“This Sword in the Name of Man” is Katheryne’s resonance skill, summoning shadows of the authority sword upon attacking enemies. In Fleurdelis form, the resonance skill changes to “Tidal Intent,” summoning a gravitational field to pull enemies and usable in mid-air.
Resonance Release
Katheryne’s resonance release differs between her two forms:
Katheryne Form: “Knight’s Heartfelt Wish,” transforming into Fleurdelis and gaining a manifested state.
Fleurdelis Form: “Tidal Fury, Howling Blade,” releasing a powerful linear attack, restoring HP, and dealing Anemo damage.
Variant and Encore Skills
Variant skills have different effects in each form:
Katheryne Form: Summons shadows of the authority sword
Fleurdelis Form: Performs a forward thrusting attack
Encore skills provide additional damage enhancement for the team.
Attribute Enhancements and Intrinsic Skills: Inner and Outer Strength
Katheryne’s attribute enhancements focus on HP and critical rate:
HP Enhancement: 1.8% to 4.2%
Critical Rate Enhancement: 1.2% to 2.8%
Intrinsic Skills:
“Woven Vows with the Heart”: Enhances team healing effects
“Wind Carved Corrosion”: Increases damage based on the number of Anemo corrosion layers
Resonance Chain Analysis: Chains of Fate and the Power of the Wind
Katheryne’s resonance chain design leverages the unique advantages of her dual forms:
“Crowned by Fate”: Records and overrides the highest number of Anemo corrosion layers on enemies

“Suspended by the Self”
