This article is for reference only, and actual content may be subject to change.
Shikkoku Character Profile
Rarity: 5-star
Vision: Ice
Weapon Type: Sword
Base ATK Bonus: +38.4% Critical Damage
Shikkoku’s Exclusive Weapon: Souyō
Souyō
Base ATK: 608 / +33.1% Critical Rate
Description: After using an Elemental Skill, ATK is increased by 24% for 12 seconds. During this period, if the wearer’s Elemental Energy is 0, ATK is further increased by 24%, and Critical Damage is increased by 40%. This weapon is specifically designed for Shikkoku, allowing her to fully utilize her combat style.
Shikkoku’s Normal Attack: Kyokuwaki: Dan
Normal Attack:
Performs up to 5 consecutive strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes stamina to throw a spinning ice spear forward, dealing damage to enemies in its path.
Plunge Attack: Descends from mid-air to strike the ground below, dealing damage to enemies along the path and within a small radius upon impact. These attack combinations allow Shikkoku to switch fluidly between attacks on the battlefield, dealing consistent damage.
Shikkoku’s Elemental Skill: Kyokuwaki: Sen
Elemental Skill:
Tap: Shikkoku gains 45 points of Hebi no Jutsu (Snake’s Cunning) and switches to the Shichirin Issen mode.
Hold: Shikkoku gains 45 points of Hebi no Jutsu and enters a state of rapid movement, increasing her resistance to interruption. During this state, Shikkoku can control the direction of her movement and end the rapid movement early by recasting the skill. This skill makes Shikkoku as elusive as a phantom in combat.
Shikkoku’s Elemental Burst: Kyokuwaki: Metsu
Elemental Burst:
Shikkoku’s Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy but instead on Hebi no Jutsu. When Shikkoku has at least 50 points of Hebi no Jutsu, she can consume all of it to unleash her Elemental Burst, tearing through space and performing rapid consecutive slashes, dealing Ice element AoE damage. Additionally, for each point of Hebi no Jutsu exceeding 50, the damage of this Elemental Burst is increased, with a maximum of 12 extra points added.
While Shikkoku is in Shichirin Issen mode, her Elemental Burst “Kyokuwaki: Metsu” will be replaced by “Kyokuwaki: Jin.”
Kyokuwaki: Jin
A special Elemental Burst that does not consume Hebi no Jutsu. After casting, Shikkoku gains the “Chōjin” effect, which lasts until Shichirin Issen mode ends. If the inherent talent “Rigeki” is unlocked, Shikkoku will also absorb nearby Kyūrei. During the duration of the Chōjin effect, every 0.1 seconds, Shikkoku’s normal attacks will increase the damage dealt; if Kyokuwaki: Jin is cast after absorbing Kyūrei, the damage increase will be further enhanced based on the number of Kyūrei absorbed. This effect will end after being triggered 10 times.
