Elegy of Ice： The Gentle Breeze and the Song of Destiny

The Ballad of Ice: The Pure Breeze of Combat and the Song of Destiny
On that battlefield blanketed by ice and snow, the cold wind howls, and ice crystals dance in the air. A figure sweeps across like a gentle breeze, her arrival seeming to herald the prelude to an ice-themed ballad. Her combat skills are as pure as a breeze, yet as sharp as ice. Her name is Shikko, an upcoming Ice element claymore character in the world of Genshin Impact, and her arrival will bring forth a ballad of ice.
Shikko’s character profile reveals her as a 5-star Ice element character, with her signature weapon being “Sōyō.” Her ascension stat, Critical Damage +38.4%, showcases her determination to pursue a singular goal in battle. Her Elemental Orb is that of Ice, and her choice of claymore hints at her emphasis on precision and agility. Her skill set revolves around “Extreme Techniques,” forming a comprehensive Ice element combat system.
Signature Weapon: Sōyō
Sōyō, this claymore, seems to embody the chill of an iceberg. Its base attack is 608, with a critical rate of 33.1%. The weapon’s special effect, “Gifts from the White Mountain,” evokes the offerings of a snow-capped peak: after using an Elemental Skill, attack increases by 24%, and if the Elemental Energy is at 0, attack increases by another 24%, with Critical Damage boosting by 40%. Like a snow mountain swaying in the wind, it grants the warrior endless power.
Normal Attack: Extreme Technique – Break
Shikko’s normal attacks are as pure as the morning dew, yet as sharp as the frost of winter. Her strikes sweep across the battlefield like a cold wind, continuously cutting through the enemy’s defenses. Each swing is as unstoppable as the collapse of a glacier, delivering lethal blows.
Charged Attack: She swiftly hurls a spinning ice spear with a backward flip, its radiance glinting like an iceberg in the sunlight, striking the enemy with a fatal blow. Her movements are as elusive as willow catkins in the cold wind, leaving no trace on the battlefield, unpredictable to the enemy.
Plunge Attack: She descends from the air, falling like hail upon the enemy, triggering AoE damage upon landing, as unstoppable as the collapse of a glacier. Her plunge attack is as merciless as hail, delivering devastating strikes.
Elemental Skill: Extreme Technique – Flash
Shikko’s Elemental Skill embodies the essence of the Extreme Technique, showcasing her deep understanding of combat arts. On tap, she focuses her mind to gain 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, switching to the Seven Strikes mode. This switch is as sudden as ice flowers blooming in the cold wind, instantly shattering the enemy’s defenses. On hold, she focuses her mind longer to gain 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and enters a high-speed movement state. Her figure is as elusive as willow catkins in the cold wind, moving unpredictably across the battlefield, out of the enemy’s reach.
Elemental Burst: Extreme Technique – Oblivion
Shikko’s Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy, but on Serpent’s Cunning. When she accumulates enough Cunning, she tears through space like ice, performing rapid consecutive slashes. If she is in the Seven Strikes mode, the Elemental Burst will be replaced by “Extreme Technique – Finale,” which brings a devastating impact, like the end of a glacier.
Fixed Skills
Shikko’s fixed skills demonstrate her profound understanding of the Ice element and her unique combat style. Through the “Outer Logic,” she can sense the enemy’s weaknesses with her Elemental Burst, adapting her strategy to exploit them. Her abilities are designed to maximize her combat effectiveness, making her a formidable opponent on the battlefield.
