When I first heard the name Keleta, I felt like the sound of the first snow falling on the hills of western Hunan, gentle but leaving a lingering warmth in my ears. She appeared in the travelogue-like game “Mingchao”, like a night walker passing through a misty village, without any sound behind her, but her steps were imprinted in my heart.
If she is a character, it is actually more like a story. A girl living on an ice hill, with a pair of talking eyes and a pair of cold but warm guns. The game introduces her as a five-star ice attribute output character, and her limited identity makes her particularly rare in the world of Lina Xita. In my opinion, she is a stroke in the landscape painting that has not been colored but has already been shining.
Her skills are not about quantity, but stability. Keleta relies on “spiritual essence” to operate the power of her body, which is energy flowing quietly like a stream. She uses this to perform resonance skills and liberation. Every time she releases, it’s like a woman in an ancient town waved her sleeves, and the thousand-year ice quietly broke.
Among her skills, resonance liberation and resonance skills should be prioritized. Just like in an old ancestral hall, the first thing to be repaired is always the expression and hands of the statue, and the rest, such as beams and door plaques, can be repaired slowly. Although her normal attack and variation skills are useful, they are more like the tone of the villagers’ daily conversation, less sharp and more casual. The order of improvement should be:
Resonance liberation = resonance skills > resonance circuit > normal attack > variation skills.
For her, choosing a suitable gun is like a woman in ancient times choosing a hairpin for her hair. Her first choice is the double gun named “Death and Dance”. This gun has extremely high critical damage, and the “Silent Eulogy” skill is like an old poem recited silently by the stream, with a sharp edge hidden in the plainness. Without this gun, “Smoke of Rest” is also a good weapon. Although it is relatively simple, it quietly shines in the long battle. If the conditions are simpler, you can also choose “Thunder”, “Sleepless Fire” and “Paradox Jet”, all of which can match her, just like the daughter of a small village in the south, who is not picky about livelihood and always has a way to live a warm and calm life.
Her choice of voice is like choosing a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to accompany the mountains and rivers. “Sharp and Decisive Heart” is the best match, and its five-piece set effect can help her freeze thousands of miles, like a pear tree blooming in the snowy night. If this thing is not available, “Ning Ye White Frost” is also a good match, like a cup of strong tea, which can withstand the conversation in the dead of night.
The main voice is most intimate with “Heterogeneous Armament”. The power formed by the illusion not only enhances the condensation attack, but also makes her battle rhythm smoother. If she is a girl holding a lamp in a village in the south of the Yangtze River, this “heterogeneous armed forces” is the window that refuses to close at night; or “Brilliant Military Force” is also good, three consecutive cold shocks are like iron cavalry in the west wind on the ancient road, bringing another kind of tragic beauty between mountains and rivers.
In the selection of terms, we need to consider carefully. Just like the old man in the family choosing the seeds of the field: critical hits and critical hit damage are the first choice, followed by attack power, cold damage bonus, resonance skill improvement and resonance efficiency. These are the foundation for Keleta to stand firmly in the wind and snow.
As for her team, it is very much like organizing a winter fireside night talk in the mountain village. She is the protagonist, and Zhezhi is the old storyteller who knows how to make the story more layered. With caregivers like the shore guard, Verina or Baizhi, it is a combination of warmth and majesty.
If there is no Zhezhi, Changli can form a “cannon-throwing team” with her. Changli seems to have been in the martial arts world for many years. He doesn’t talk much, but he knows how to hold an umbrella to block the wind for his teammates at critical moments. Their cooperation is just like two children playing spinning tops under the old banyan tree at the head of the village, simple but tacit.
Lumi is another choice. She is gentle and not dazzling, which just sets off the hidden edge of Keleta. The team composed of these three is like a family of three in the old days, with a backbone, a comforter, and a worry solver, just right.
I think many players can’t help but reach out when they see her. Not to get a character, but to touch the calm loneliness in her – like a fish swimming through a winter stream, although cold, but with the direction of life.
Although the game is a fantasy, Keleta is as real as the girl in our memory who doesn’t want to leave. She won’t urge you to forge ahead, nor will she call for victory. She just stands on the ice, nods at you, and says, “Let’s go.”
And you set off, taking her, the mountains, rivers, and condensation, all the way north, until you reach the white dreamland that no one has ever set foot in.
