* **Scutum Divinitas**: Once in a while, Bright Knight: Excelsis enters the Retaliation state, during which she will immediately unleash Retaliation ATK and a Throw once attacked.

Break the shield within a limited time to win the duel and restore a certain amount of SP, after which Bright Knight: Excelsis will be Imbalanced.

### SSS Rank

* **Scutum Divinitas**: Bright Knight: Excelsis has received a divine blessing and now has a powerful shield, making her immune to all DMG until it is broken. Attacking while the shield is active immediately triggers her Counterstrike.
	+ Reminder 1: Successfully dodging attacks increases anti-shield DMG.
	+ Reminder 2: Quick Lightning attacks can break the shield.
	+ Reminder 3: Breaking two layers of shield will throw Bright Knight: Excelsis off-balance, during which Total DMG taken is increased.

* **Sharpened Steel**: Bright Knight: Excelsis makes King giant, using his sword to do a forward slash, dealing DMG in a straight line.

* **Divine Horn**: Bright Knight: Excelsis makes Queen giant, using her shield to cause an earthquake that shoots out energy from the cracked ground. Targets near the pillars of energy will take continuous DMG.

* **Sceptrum Divinitas**: Bright Knight: Excelsis makes King giant, using his sword to launch a DMG-dealing shock wave.

* **Abyss Flower**: In this phase, Bright Knight: Excelsis is invulnerable and begins using the power of the Abyss Flower. She'll create a field around herself in which targets continuously build up Stun Value. During this time, she will also summon King to attack. Each hit builds up Execution's accrual speed in the next battle.
	+ Reminder: Stay out of her field and time King's attacks to avoid them.

* **Lance of Judgement**: In this phase, Bright Knight: Excelsis is no longer invulnerable and gains a shield with Lightning Vulnerability. Her field also encompasses the entire battlefield, continuously building up Execution Value on all targets.
Once Execution Value reaches its limit, Bright Knight: Excelsis will immediately perform a Throw ATK.
	+ Reminder 1: Deploy a Valkyrie that deals Lightning DMG to quickly break Bright Knight: Excelsis's shield and cause her to lose balance, increasing Total DMG taken.
	+ Reminder 2: Switching Valkyries clears Execution Value.
