Lady of Dark Night Arin Character Guide

Lady of Dark Night Arin! Wields a two-handed sword. She dominates in close & mid-range battles. Vanishes to unleash devastating area damage.

Lady of Dark Night Arin is a melee fighter with an all-around attack style that, in addition to her two-handed sword attacks, can attack enemies from a distance or across large areas. Her normal skill [Death's Grip] can incapacitate enemies from a distance and bring them to her. Her signature skill [The Last Dance] allows her to disappear in front of her enemies for a short period of time, dealing fast, heavy, and continuous damage over a large area to wipe out multiple enemies.

"Shadows are everywhere..."

If you wish to discover the truth about the fallen and cursed House of Lanclen and the unsettling rumors surrounding it, you must seek out Arin, who is known as the last surviving member of the House of Lanclen. However, locating her won't be a simple task. The Lady of Dark Night constantly hides herself within the shadows, making her difficult to find.

Lady of Dark Night Skills Description

Character Review

Arin's deadliness lies in her ability to manipulate enemy positioning. Her normal skill, [Death's Grip], allows her to grab enemies from a distance, stunning them and leaving them open for a brutal assault. This skill also synergizes well with other characters' follow-up skills, letting you set up devastating combos.

But Lady of Dark Night Arin isn't just about pulling enemies in. Her four-stage auto-attack combo builds towards a powerful projectile on the final strike, allowing her to deal significant burst damage. This combo can be further enhanced with increased attack speed, letting her capitalize fully on the window created by her [Death's Grip].

Arin is a beast in the Arena

For added mobility, Arin possesses a charging strong attack that propels her forward. This not only helps her close the gap on ranged attackers but also offers another option for maneuvering in the heat of battle.

Finally, Arin's ultimate skill, [The Last Dance], is a force to be reckoned with in PvP. This skill allows her to vanish momentarily before unleashing a devastating AoE attack that wipes out multiple enemies. This powerful move offers a strategic advantage, especially when facing ranged opponents in the Arena.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Lady of Dark Night Arin offers a unique blend of close-range power, strategic manipulation, and surprising AoE burst damage. Her ultimate reminds me of Keqing's ultimate move from Genshin Impact (Owh, how I missed the early days of my Genshin Impact playthrough). Lastly, Arin can dominate in both PvE and PvP content easily in Astra: Knights of Veda.
