Gameplay

Lemurian Sea God may seem quite complex at first but his rotations are quite straightforward and improve with Ranks.

Your gameplay is centred around Sea God Mark and his special state. When a Charged Attack empowered by Sea God Mark hits an enemy, it reduces the Support Skill cooldown by 1.5s.

He has two states: normal and Divine Favor which can be activated by reaching Ocean's Descent. To activate it you need to perform Basic Attacks and Active Skill to fill the yellow part of the bar. To full Rafayel's white part of it you should click on his icon when his Support Skill is up and to trigger it faster, you can perform a Perfect Dodge.

Ocean's Descent indicator inactive — Ocean's Descent bar is under your HP

Ocean's Descent indicator at full — When filling at max you will notice a new button for Ocean's Descent state activation

Ocean's Descent indicator active — After activation state will change to Divine Favor and your earned points will burn down untill the end of the state empowering you and Rafayel

When Ocean's Descent is full, a button will appear. When triggered, it will change the state to Divine Favor for 11s. In this state, Rafayel will throw lightning. And you are the main star right now!

Divine Favor state activation — When Ocean's Descent is active an activation button will appear changing state to Divine Favor in which Rafayel will throw lightnings on the field while you will be empowered.

Consuming Sea God Mark is greatly empowered in this state. Additionally, Active Skill will generate Lightning Crystal, dodging right into it will detonate it dealing massive DMG and restoring 0.3 ◆ also reducing Active Skill cooldown by 3.3s! When state ends, any remaining Lightning Crystal will detonate automatically.

Lightning Crystal left by Active Skill in Ocean's Descent state — Lightning Crystal that appears after Active Skill in Divine Favor state, dodge into it to activate big AoE DMG

Buff indicators — Your buffs. Pay special attention to the first one, it is the Sea God Mark

Usually you are able to make the rotation 3 times during the Divine Favor, with Ranks it is possible to do up to 4!

So the whole rotation will look like this:

Resonance Skill + use MC's Basic Attack & Active Skill to stack (don't consume Sea God Mark too close to state change) + Rafayel's Support Skill + Resonance Skill ⇨
activate Divine Favor ⇨
consume Sea God Mark + Active Skill leaves behind Lightning Crystal + dodge into it (repeat till the end) ⇨
repeat the whole rotation ↺

If you have time between before Sea God Mark restorations you can do Basic Attacks.
