Raise your weapon on high to call a divine blessing that deals AoE Hydro damage based on max HP and continuously confers the Prayer of Crimson Crown on the active character.
Prayer of the Crimson Crown: Characters deal increased elemental damage with normal attacks.

Sword, Claymore, and polearm users under this effect obtain Hydro Infusion.
