NOELLE TALENT MATERIALS
Enemy Drops – Hilichurls
Damaged Mask
Common Ascension Material. A broken bone mask that once belonged to some hilichurl. Now more broken than complete, it can no longer perform its primary function.
Stained Mask
Common Ascension Material. A bone mask covered in unidentifiable stains and a mysterious odor. Yet such is the devotion of hilichurls to masks that they will wear it nonetheless.
Ominous Mask
Common Ascension Material. A glossy bone mask with oil markings painted on it, meant to intimidate enemies. No-one really knows why hilichurls are so fascinated with masks. Some say it’s because they don’t want to see their own reflections in the water.
