The Absolute Song of Ice: Shikko’s Martial Arts and Destiny
In this vast land of Teyvat, covered in snow and ice, a new figure is about to emerge. She is a warrior formed from the essence of ice, and her name is Shikko. Her story begins with the symphony of icy swordlight and moonlight, akin to the opening of a song known as the “Absolute Song of Ice.”
Shikko, a 5-star ice element character who wields a one-handed sword, is the performer of this “Absolute Song of Ice.” Her arrival will bring a new chapter to this land governed by elemental forces. Her swordlight is as cold and resolute as the tears of the frigid moon.
On this icy battlefield, Shikko wields her signature weapon, the “Sōyō.” This sword, resembling a celestial blade, has a base attack of 608 and a critical hit rate of 33.1%. It is not only a powerful tool for dealing ice element damage but also the medium through which she showcases her martial arts. The sword radiates a sharp, cold light, like the frost of winter, razor-sharp and lethal.
Normal Attack: Kyokkō – Dan
Shikko’s normal attacks are like the shattering of ice crystals in the cold wind. Each swing of her sword is a celebration of ice, her blade tracing beautiful arcs in the air. She can perform up to five consecutive attacks, each one telling a story of ice. Her swordsmanship is fierce and precise, like a howling winter wind that leaves enemies unable to withstand.
Charged Attack
When she performs a charged attack, she consumes stamina to hurl a spinning ice spear at enemies in front of her. This is reminiscent of the explosive power of cracking ice, striking enemies with deadly force. The spear, like a blade of ice, pierces through enemies’ chests with lightning speed, delivering a fatal blow.
Plunge Attack
Her plunge attack is a classic move in her arsenal. Descending from the air, she strikes the ground, dealing damage to enemies in her path and creating an area of effect upon impact. This is akin to the earth-shaking power of a collapsing glacier, leaving enemies helpless. Her figure is like a falling meteor, bringing devastating destruction.
Elemental Skill: Kyokkō – Sen
Shikko’s elemental skill is the essence of her martial arts, inspired by the fighting style of the “Kyouko.” When tapped, she gains 45 points of “Snake’s Cunning” and switches to the “Seven Stances, One Flash” mode. Her figure becomes as elusive as a dragon dancing in the snow, making it difficult for enemies to track her movements. She appears and disappears like a phantom, leaving enemies unable to catch her.
When held, she gains 45 points of “Snake’s Cunning” and enters a state of rapid movement, enhancing her resistance to interruptions. She can control the direction of her movement and end the state early by recasting the skill. Her figure becomes as mysterious as a shadow in a snowstorm, making it impossible for enemies to predict her next move.
Elemental Burst: Kyokkō – Metsu
Shikko’s elemental burst does not rely on elemental energy but on “Snake’s Cunning.” When she has at least 50 points of “Snake’s Cunning,” she can consume all of it to unleash her burst, tearing through space and performing rapid slashes that deal ice element area damage. Additionally, for every point of “Snake’s Cunning” exceeding 50, her damage increases, making this move a testament to her mastery of ice and her destiny.
