Frostbite Absolute Sword, Tactical River — Complete Analysis of Shikuo
In this snowy landscape, a figure as refreshing as a clear stream is about to descend upon the world. She is Shikuo, a five-star Cryo character wielding a one-handed sword. Her unique swordsmanship and cunning actions make her a refreshing force in the realm of sword arts. Her techniques break free from traditional constraints, establishing an entirely new tactical system.
Shikuo is a five-star character with Cryo attributes and wields a one-handed sword. Her base attribute passive provides a high 38.4% bonus to critical damage. Her swordsmanship focuses on single-target output, with ruthless and deadly moves. Her weapon, Cangyao, is a divine sword forged through meditation. Cangyao boasts a base attack of 608 and an additional 33.1% critical rate bonus. Its special property, “Gift of Mount Bai,” increases attack by 24% when an Elemental Skill is used. If her energy is in abundance, attack and critical damage are further increased by 24% and 40%, respectively. Cangyao complements Shikuo’s swordsmanship perfectly.
Shikuo’s swordsmanship is divided into three stages:
Evil Art: Severance (基础剑技)
This is her basic sword technique, consisting of a five-segment combo. Each strike is sharp and precise, capable of delivering a fatal blow. If used with a concentrated strike, she transforms into a spinning blade, overwhelming all enemies. If timed to exploit an opening, she descends from the air like a falling star, leaving a trail of ice and snow, knocking down all enemies in her path.
Evil Art: Flash (元素战技)
This is her Elemental Skill, containing two variations:
A light tap grants 45 points of “Serpentine Cunning,” allowing her to reach the realm of “Seven Phantasms in One Flash.”
A long press also grants 45 points of “Serpentine Cunning,” but allows her to move stealthily like a ghost.
This skill not only unlocks her unique combat mode but also enhances her survivability and damage output.
Evil Art: Annihilation (元素爆发)
This is her Elemental Burst, which operates counterintuitively without relying on energy. When “Serpentine Cunning” reaches 50 points, she unleashes a devastating attack, overwhelming all enemies with ice and snow. If “Serpentine Cunning” is in excess, damage is further increased by up to 12%. In the “Seven Phantasms in One Flash” state, this move is replaced by “Evil Art: Completion,” which achieves the same effect without consuming “Serpentine Cunning.”
Her fixed skill, “Beyond Reason,” creates a rift in the enemy formation whenever an ally triggers a Cryo elemental effect. Shikuo can exploit this rift to launch premeditated attacks, leaving enemies defenseless.
Shikuo is known as the “Frostbite Absolute Sword” due to her unique swordsmanship. Her tactics are versatile and ruthless, resembling a venomous snake capable of striking at any moment. With her signature weapon, Cangyao, her swordsmanship becomes even more formidable. Cangyao not only enhances her base attack but also unleashes extraordinary power in critical moments. The “Gift of Mount Bai” property allows Shikuo to significantly boost her attack when using Elemental Skills, and with ample energy, her attack and critical damage are further enhanced. Together, Cangyao and Shikuo create a dazzling symphony of the “Frostbite Absolute Sword.”
