“The Absolute Song of Ice: Shikako’s Pure Breeze of Martial Arts and the Song of Destiny”
On this battlefield enveloped in ice and snow, the freezing wind roars by, as if the entire world is presenting the most magnificent welcome for her arrival. She is Shikako, the upcoming ice element single-handed sword character in the world of Genshin Impact, and her arrival will ignite a storm of ice. Her martial arts are as pure as a gentle breeze but as sharp as ice. In the upcoming version 5.7, she will unfold her own martial arts symphony with her unique skill system.
Shikako’s character profile reveals that she is a 5-star ice element character with her signature weapon “Sōyō.” Her ascension stat, “Critical Damage +38.4%,” showcases her determination in pursuing a singular goal in combat. Her Elemental Eye as an ice element and her choice of a single-handed sword hint at her emphasis on precision and agility. Her skill system revolves around the “Gokou Technique,” forming a comprehensive ice element combat system.
Signature Weapon: Sōyō
Sōyō, this single-handed sword, seems to embody the chill of an iceberg. Its base attack is 608, with a critical rate of 33.1%. The special effect “Gift of Mount Hakurei” evokes the offerings of a snow-capped mountain: after casting an Elemental Skill, her attack increases by 24%, and if her Elemental Energy is at 0, her attack increases by another 24%, with critical damage boosted by 40%. This is like the snow-capped mountain swaying in the wind, granting the warrior endless power.
Normal Attack: Gokou Technique – Sever
Shikako’s normal attacks are as pure as morning dew but as sharp as frost in the cold winter.
Normal Attack: She can perform up to five consecutive strikes, like cold wind sweeping across the land, continuously slicing through the enemy’s defenses.
Charged Attack: With swift movements, she hurls a spinning ice spear, like the glitter of an iceberg in sunlight, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.
Plunge Attack: She descends from the air, crashing down like hail upon the enemy, triggering area damage upon landing, as unstoppable as the collapse of an iceberg.
Elemental Skill: Gokou Technique – Flash
Shikako’s Elemental Skill embodies the essence of the Gokou Technique, showcasing her deep understanding of martial arts.
Tap: With a touch of intent, she gains 45 points of Snake’s Cunning and switches to the Seven Strikes Flash mode. This switch is like ice flowers blooming suddenly in the cold wind, instantly shattering the enemy’s defenses.
Hold: With a prolonged touch of intent, she gains 45 points of Snake’s Cunning and enters a high-speed movement state. Her figure is like willow catkins in the cold wind, moving across the battlefield unpredictably, beyond the enemy’s anticipation.
Elemental Burst: Gokou Technique – Annihilation
Shikako’s Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy but on Snake’s Cunning. When she accumulates enough cunning, she will tear through space like ice, performing rapid consecutive slashes. If she is in the Seven Strikes Flash mode, the Elemental Burst will be replaced by “Gokou Technique – Extermination,” like the end of a glacier, delivering devastating blows.
Fixed Skills
Shikako’s fixed skills demonstrate her profound understanding of the ice element and her unique combat style.
“Reason Outside of Reason”
She can sense the creation of a virtual realm fissure when enemies trigger an ice element reaction. This ability, like the cold morning of winter, can fill the battlefield with deadly traps. She can enhance this ability through further refinement.
