100 EnergyPassive. Valka applies a stack of panic to an enemy with her normal attacks, lasting 10s. After 4 stacks, the enemy is struck with a sudden fear of battle, falling into a panic state for 10s and losing 10 Haste. Valka can only cast Blooming Terror on adjacent enemies who are in a panic state. This skill consumes 100 Energy and removes the enemy's panic status, stunning them while executing two powerful slashes. Each slash deals true damage equal to 6% of the target's max HP and recovers 350% ATK of Valka's HP. Afterward, Valka draws her sword to land another slash, dealing true damage equal to 12% of the target's max HP and knocking them down. Each slash damage is capped at 400% ATK. While casting, Valka is unaffected and can only use this skill on the same enemy once every 6s.

Story
Affinity Tales
- The ancestors of the Valesa and Radinov families were Valka's companions, and they fought alongside each other through many difficult battles.
- The Graveborn's lengthy existence prompted Valka to consult a specialized mage, asking him to enchant her armor to resist decay.
- Valka had always cherished her long hair, meticulously braiding it before each battle. However, after her resurrection as a Graveborn, she no longer felt any desire to maintain her appearance.
- Despite the passage of thousands of years, Valka still hasn't grown accustomed to the unsettling sensation of being able to see her heart by simply looking down.
- Valka is highly respected by all the Graveborn in the Duchy of Whiteridge. Her commands have led to most undead living in remote areas, seldom approaching human settlements.
- In secret, Valka quietly dealt with numerous uncontrolled undead on her own. Sadly, majority of those she had to destroy were her former comrades-in-arms.
- Most of Valka's time is spent at the border region between Cedartown and the old battlefield ruins, guarding against uncontrolled undead from entering the town and causing chaos.
- Whenever one of Valka's comrades loses control and becomes an uncontrollable undead warrior, she would place a tombstone in their memory. However, over time, these tombstones have become damaged and weathered, their original forms unrecognizable.
- As a warning, Valka, after her return from death, chose not to repair her damaged breastplate, keeping her heart exposed. This striking appearance can be quite unsettling for those who encounter her for the first time.
- At the Snowspire Festival in Cedartown, Valka would conceal her identity and blend into the crowd. It was the only time she could feel a glimmer of life, a reminder that she's not completely dead inside.
