Combat brief
How Ava creates value
Limited evidence · Reliability Medium · Reviewed 2026-08-21
Recorded strengths
- Chiaroscuro provides 50% enemy damage taken to all enemy squads at skill level 5 (Skill: Chiaroscuro · persisted verification).
- Light and Cold provides 25% lethality to hero's squad at skill level 5 (Skill: Light and Cold).
- Color Storm provides 15% lethality to all friendly squads at skill level 5 (Skill: Color Storm).
Limitations
- Color Storm applies only when: Hero must lead the rally (Skill: Color Storm).
Bear Hunt
Rally Leader: Sufficient Verified Coverage. Rally Joiner: Fully Modeled. Only effects listed in role coverage execute numerically.
PvP attack / rally
At least one source-recorded, classified mechanic is relevant to this mode.
PvP defense / garrison
No safely classified local effect establishes this mode's value.
Arena
Exploration mechanics come from a public fan-maintained reference. They may inform provisional Arena evidence, but cannot drive a definitive investment recommendation.
General Expedition / PvE
At least one source-recorded, classified mechanic is relevant to this mode.

Evidence limits
Unknown and unclassified mechanics
- Combat examples use recorded skill level 5; no verified star-to-skill-level mapping is inferred.
- Exploration / Arena records are provisional public evidence until directly verified in game; Arena conclusions remain non-definitive.
- Dissolution: activation, target, or effect semantics are incomplete (Skill: Dissolution · persisted verification).
- Stacking behavior and caps are not recorded for the catalogued effects.
