When it comes to Genshin Impact, we have to admit that miHoYo has really pulled out all the stops this time! The upcoming 5.7 version is about to go live, and the arrival of a new character has got everyone hyped! This time, we’re talking about the main character, Sysu, who is not just a pretty face; she’s an accurate Ice element Main DPS! Let’s put aside any talk about support roles and dive straight into her pure damage output!
First, let’s take a look at her basic profile:
Rarity: 5-star
Elemental Attribute: Ice
Weapon Type: Sword
Base Attribute Bonus: +38.4% Critical Damage
This base attribute is quite interesting, as it directly boosts critical damage, indicating that she’s primarily an output-focused character.
If there’s one thing that stands out about Sysu, it’s her “Snake’s Cunning” mechanism! This mechanism isn’t just for show; it completely overturns the traditional way of using elemental energy, placing more emphasis on rhythm in gameplay and is simply designed for pure output!
Exclusive Weapon: Qiongyao
As Sysu’s exclusive weapon, Qiongyao is nothing short of perfect! The data and effects of this weapon are tailor-made for her:
Base Attack: 608 / +33.1% Critical Rate
White Mountain’s Blessing: After casting an Elemental Skill, increases Attack by 24%, and when Elemental Energy is at 0, further increases Attack by 24% and Critical Damage by 40%.
Does this effect sound familiar? Yes, it’s what we often call an “invincible exclusive”! This effect pairs seamlessly with Sysu’s skill mechanics and will undoubtedly take her output to the next level!
Normal Attack: Extreme Technique – Break
Let’s first look at Sysu’s basic attacks:
Normal Attack: Can perform up to five consecutive attacks, serving as the fundamental output tool for a Main DPS character.
Charged Attack: Consumes stamina to throw a spinning ice spear, dealing damage to enemies in front.
Plunge Attack: Descends from the air to strike the ground, dealing damage to enemies along the path and upon landing.
These normal attacks may seem simple, but they play a crucial role in Sysu’s skill set, especially under the Seven Strikes in One Flash mode, where their effects are enhanced to an extraordinary degree!
Elemental Skill: Extreme Technique – Flash
Sysu’s Elemental Skill has two uses:
Tap: Gains 45 points of Snake’s Cunning and switches to Seven Strikes in One Flash mode.
Hold: Gains 45 points of Snake’s Cunning and enters a rapid movement state, increasing resistance to interruptions.
This skill is not just a simple toggle for Seven Strikes in One Flash mode; it’s also Sysu’s key movement and dodging tool! Using the Elemental Skill wisely in combat can effectively enhance her survivability and output efficiency!
Elemental Burst: Extreme Technique – Annihilation
When it comes to Sysu’s Elemental Burst, it’s her most powerful trump card! Her Elemental Burst doesn’t rely on Elemental Energy but instead on Snake’s Cunning. When Snake’s Cunning reaches 50 points, she can cast her Elemental Burst, unleashing rapid consecutive slashes that deal Ice Elemental AoE damage. Notably:
If Snake’s Cunning exceeds 50 points when casting, the damage will be further increased by up to 12 points.
In Seven Strikes in One Flash mode, the Elemental Burst is replaced by “Extreme Technique – Extermination,” a special Elemental Burst that doesn’t consume Snake’s Cunning and brings the effects of carving.
