1000 EnergyPassive. When a battle starts, Contess hides within her rulebook. While hidden, she cannot move or act, cannot be targeted by enemies, and recovers 66 Energy every second. She enters the battlefield when her Energy is full, when an enemy violates a rule, or when all other allies are defeated. Active. Contess restores 666% ATK HP to a target ally and grants them Exemption. Exemption: Prevents the target ally from being punished by allied Contess for rule violations. While the ally's HP ratio is above 40%, they lose 2.5% of their max HP every second, converting 200% of the lost amount into a shield. The shield value cannot exceed 100% of the ally's max HP. While this shield is active, the ally's ATK is increased by 30%. When auto battle is enabled, this skill prioritizes the ally with the highest cumulative damage dealt who has not yet received Exemption. If all allies have already received Exemption, it instead targets the weakest ally.

10sWhile Contess is on the battlefield, she disciplines those who violate school rules, reducing their HP by 6.6% of their max HP. This HP reduction cannot exceed 100% ATK. Code of Conduct - Be Civil When a unit on the battlefield loses 60% max HP or shield value in total (the lost amount cannot exceed 150% of the initial Team ATK), the enemy unit that contributed the most damage to that loss is deemed in violation of this rule. Each unit may violate this rule 5 times within 10s. If the unit violating this rule is an ally, Contess also heals the allied unit for 200% ATK HP in addition to the punishment. In Boss battles, this rule is enforced differently: Every 10s, the unit with the highest cumulative damage dealt on each side is considered in violation of this rule. Active. Contess restores 150% ATK HP to the 2 weakest allies, and reduces the ATK of the 2 enemies with the highest cumulative damage dealt by 25% for 6s.
