Synergy

Since Vikala grants Fantasy FestivalCharge bar gain, C.A. specs, and dodge rate are boosted (Can't be removed / Ends upon taking DMG 2 times)
Duration: Indefinite to all Dark allies, she synergizes well with sources that provide similar buffs such as Charge Bar Gain UpCharge bar gain is boosted
and UpliftedCharge bar is boosted on every turn
. She also works well with classes and characters that rely on their Charge Attacks to deal damage. In order to prevent Fantasy FestivalCharge bar gain, C.A. specs, and dodge rate are boosted (Can't be removed / Ends upon taking DMG 2 times)
Duration: Indefinite from expiring too soon, sources of defensive buffs such as Dodge Rate UpChance to dodge DMG and debuffs
and Mirror ImageNext one-to-one attack received will be ineffective
(Effect removed on next all-foe all-ally attack)
are also beneficial. Lastly, Vikala also synergizes with characters that could help her maintain a high level of HypeATK is boosted
