Abilities

Soaring Flight (morph, primal) — Frequency once per day

Effect Takatorra expands their wings, gaining a 25-foot fly Speed for 5 minutes.
Attack of Opportunity
Blade Barrage — Takatorra makes three melee Strikes. These Strikes gain the forceful trait. If one target is hit with at least two of these Strikes, they also take 1d6 bleed. The target is then Off-Guard until they heal the persistent bleed damage.
Disarming Whirl (flourish) — Takatorra spins, striking at their foes' weapons. Takatorra attempts an Athletics check to Disarm against each enemy within melee reach. Each attempt counts toward Takatorra's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until they have made all the attempts.

WORKS WELL WITH

MenderLAND / AERIALA mender keeps takatorra in the fight through sustained melee, ensuring ongoing off-guard application from Blade Barrage and area denial from Disarming Whirl.
SniperLAND / AERIALA sniper exploits the off-guard condition created by Blade Barrage, landing precise attacks on softened targets while takatorra controls the melee space.
WeaverLAND / AERIALA weaver clusters enemies together, increasing the value of Disarming Whirl as a mass-disruption tool against grouped opponents.
