If I can identify and encapsulate a fragment of memory before it's unveiled to the world, those solitary moments of delight are my most favored and unique memories.

Black Swan is a Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection. A mysterious and elegant soothsayer.
Bears a warm smile and is willing to patiently heed the words of another, and thus uses such means as a pretext to enter "memories" and gain a comprehension over the flow of all information.
Feels strongly about collecting unique memories, yet the thoughts that guide her are hard to glean.

Here, all yours.

The seal of ill fate descends!
Base

At the same time, there is a 100% base chance of inflicting 1 stack of "Arcana" on the target enemy and the adjacent targets.

- Ultimate: Bliss of Otherworld's Embrace
Memories are ever-changing.
Beneath the silent waters lies an endless abyss.
Base
Inflicts "Epiphany" state on all enemies for 2 turns. Then deals Wind Damage equal to 72% - 129.6% of Black Swan's ATK to all enemies.
Enemies affected by "Epiphany" take 15% - 27% more Damage in their turn, and their "Arcana" effect is regarded as Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, and Shock effects. In addition, when their "Arcana" effect is triggered at the beginning of the next turn, the "Arcana" stacks are not reset. The stack non-reset effect can be triggered up to 1 time in "Epiphany"'s duration, and its charges are replenished when "Epiphany" is applied again.
Enhanced
Inflicts "Epiphany" state on all enemies for 2 turns. Then deals Wind Damage equal to 72% - 129.6% of Black Swan's ATK to all enemies.
While in the "Epiphany" state, enemy targets take 15% - 27% increased Damage. For every 1 stack of "Arcana" inflicted, there is a 50% fixed chance to additionally increase the number of "Arcana" stacked this time by 1. And "Arcana" stacks won't be halved after dealing Damage at the start of the turn.
- Talent: Loom of Fate's Caprice
Base
Every time an enemy target receives DoT at the start of each turn, there is a 50% - 68% base chance for it to be inflicted with "Arcana."
While afflicted with "Arcana," enemy targets receive Wind DoT equal to 96% - 264% of Black Swan's ATK at the start of each turn. Each stack of "Arcana" increases this DoT Damage multiplier by 4.8% - 13.2%. Then "Arcana" resets to 1 stack. "Arcana" can stack up to 50 times.
Only when "Arcana" causes Damage at the start of an enemy target's turn, Black Swan triggers additional effects based on the number of "Arcana" stacks inflicted on the target:
- When there are 3 or more "Arcana" stacks, deals Wind DoT equal to 72% - 198% of Black Swan's ATK to adjacent targets, with a 50% - 68% base chance of inflicting 1 stack of "Arcana" on adjacent targets.
- When there are 7 or more "Arcana" stacks, enables the current DoT dealt this time to ignore 20% of the target's and adjacent targets' DEF.
Enhanced
Every time an enemy target receives 1 instance of DoT, there is a 50% - 68% base chance for it to be inflicted with 1 stack of "Arcana".
While an enemy target is in the "Arcana" state, they are also considered to be simultaneously afflicted with Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, and Shock. The target receives Wind DoT equal to 96 - 264% of Black Swan's ATK at the start of each turn, after which the number of stacks is halved. Each stack of "Arcana" increases this Damage multiplier by 4.8% - 13.2%. "Arcana" can stack 50 times, and can continue to stack beyond this limit, with the excess stacks removed after dealing Damage.
Damage from "Arcana" ignores 20% of the target's DEF. Only when "Arcana" deals Damage at the start of the enemy target's turn, adjacent targets take 1 additional instance of Wind DoT equal to 72% - 198% of Black Swan's ATK.
- Technique: From Façade to Vérité
Make a wish.
After this Technique is used, there is a 150% base chance for each enemy to be inflicted with 1 stack of "Arcana" at the start of the next battle. For each successful application of "Arcana" on a target, inflicts another stack of "Arcana" on the same target. This process repeats until "Arcana" fails to be inflicted on this target. For each successive application of "Arcana" on a target, its base chance of success is equal to 50% of the base chance of the previous successful infliction of "Arcana" on that target.

This part is about what Black Swan thinks about the other characters in Honkai: Star Rail.
Hmm, a fascinating young girl. She won't admit it, but I imagine she's always yearned to be noticed by others. Her mind is the most chaotic place I've ever witnessed, but it also possesses the strongest tool of all — intuition.
Even if her past is a forgotten whisper, and she was once bewildered about her future, March's experiences will undoubtedly transform into unique memoria. It's exciting to think just what memories she might bestow upon the Garden of Recollection...
When exploring opportunities, one such as he, a gambler, will never reject your overtures. Gratify his whims, but also keep your defenses up.
Avoid entering someone's past memories lightly, especially hers.
Her dangerous tendencies made a strong impression on me while we were working together at the Garden of Recollection. It's... not surprising that she became a Cremator. After all, her future is like the chaotic turbulences of fate... It never rests.
Perhaps, there will come a day when you'll willingly share your memories with me — I eagerly await such a time.
His being yet again demonstrates that... there are those who, despite being offered countless choices, will always choose the same path.
Maybe it's because she left home early she realizes that dreams, while enchanting, are ultimately just that — dreams.
He cast aside his physical form in order to etch the memories of rage and sadness deeper into his being.
He's a great partner, but everyone has their own aesthetics... How should I put it? Many things aren't about right or wrong. It's just a matter of them being difficult to coexist.
Memories are a silent and deep sea, and some people are the swaying little fish within. She, however, can block the very light in that water whenever she swims.
