### Talents

* When Cesar performs the fifth strike of his Normal Attack sequence, he teleports/dashes behind the enemy he is fighting to strike them from behind and ends it with a bow or a curtsy.
	+ The bow animation has a **50%** chance of occuring, as well as the curtsy.
	+ Cesar's final attack sequence is akin to that of Kaeya's Ceremonial Bladework and Kamisato Ayato's Kamisato Art: Marobashi and share the same mechanics as them.

Constellation Effects
* Constellation Level 1, Largo: "If a rose petal comes into contact with an enemy, all party members Attack SPD increases by 0.5%. Max of 20 stacks. The chances of a bundle of rose petals appearing will increase by 5%. This effect has a 10 second cooldown."
Upon using **Crawling Chorus**, Cesar does an opening bow and enter the **Harmonic Elegance** state.

**Harmonic Elegance**
* Increases Cesar's ATK based on his Elemental Mastery. ATK Bonus gained this way cannot exceed 350% of Cesar's Base ATK.
* Increases Cesar's ATK SPD based on his max ATK. ATK SPD gained this way cannot exceed 20% more of Cesar's base ATK SPD.
* Creates a maximum of **5** rose vines, each vine crawling from behind him every time he does a **Normal Attack**.
* One rose vine deals 10% of his **Dendro DMG** and 5% of his current **ATK**.

**Hold**
After charging for up to **5** seconds, omits the normal attack sequence and conjures 5 vines behind.

* When a rose vine hits at least one enemy, it generates 2.5 Elemental Particles.
	+ This particle generation has a cooldown of ~5 seconds.
	+ Therefore, it can generate a total of 4–6 Elemental Particles through its whole duration.
* When Harmonic Elegance state is active, Cesar does not have in-between frames during his attack sequence. This makes his Normal Attack sequence seamless and faster than normal.
* Crawling Chorus can be used off-field.
	+ When you switch out before completing the full attack sequence (for example, if you only perform the first 3 attacks), you can only utilize 3 vines off-field, and the skill goes on cooldown.
		- The duration of the vines and the skill cooldown are two separate cooldowns.

Constellation Effects
* Constellation Level 3, Moderato: "Increases level of Crawling Chorus by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15."
	+ The definition of moderato according to the Merriam Webster is "moderate — used as a direction in music".
* Constellation Level 4, Allegretto, "Increases the number of rose vines to 10. When executing Crawling Chorus (Press), nearby opponents will have a 9% DEF reduction for 5 seconds. During Crawling Chorus (Hold), nearby opponents endure a 6% DEF decrease for 7 seconds. Cesar gains a 25% increase in Dendro DMG upon initiating the skill in both states."
