Ultimate Valby’s skill set mirrors that of her original version, featuring water-based attacks that inflict continuous damage and the Laundry effect. Here’s a breakdown of her skills:

Passive Skill

  • Water Intake – Skills cost less MP when cast on water, and any puddles created count as water.

Active Skills

  • Bubble Bullet – Fires a bouncing projectile that creates a puddle upon impact, inflicting the Laundry effect and continuous damage
  • Plop Plop – Spawns a large puddle, inflicts Knockdown on enemies, and deals continuous damage
  • Clean Up – Transforms into a Liquefied state, gaining a movement boost and damage reduction while leaving a Waterway trail to inflict continuous damage

Ultimate Valby’s appeal lies in her subtle stat enhancements and striking design. If you already have a strong build for Valby, unlocking this version may not be necessary.
