Absolute Zero! The Blade of Malice, Shico, Unleashes the Ultimate Ice Element Frenzy!
In this battlefield blanketed by ice and snow, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared, and all enemies halted in their tracks, for they knew that another legendary Malicious Knight was about to take the stage! She is Shico! This swordswoman from the path of malice, with her sharp single-handed sword and icy elemental power, will embark on a legendary journey in Genshin Impact version 5.7!
As the inheritor of the Malicious Knight, she wields the legendary weapon “Cangyao.” This single-handed sword boasts a base attack of 608 and a crit rate of 33.1%! Even more exciting is the “Blessing of the White Mountain,” which increases her attack by 24% after casting an elemental skill and further boosts it by 24% when her elemental energy is depleted, while also increasing crit damage by 40%. This makes her a highly efficient killing machine in combat!
Her normal attack, “Malicious Technique: Cut,” is as agile and deadly as the swordsmanship of a Malicious Knight. It can perform up to five consecutive strikes, each as sharp as ice, making one wonder if they are truly facing a real Malicious Knight! Her charged attack hurls spinning ice shards that pierce through enemy defenses, as if to say, “Your defenses are as fragile as paper walls before me!” Her plunging attack is even more terrifying, descending from the air to strike the ground with area damage, like an icy baptism!
Her elemental skill, “Malicious Technique: Flash,” epitomizes her combat style. When tapped, she gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and enters the Seven Strikes Flash mode. When held, she gains the same amount of Serpent’s Cunning and enters a high-speed movement state, during which she can control her direction and even cancel early. This fluid combat style makes her a streak of cold light on the battlefield, unstoppable and seemingly invincible!
Her elemental burst, “Malicious Technique: Annihilation,” is her most powerful weapon. It does not rely on elemental energy but consumes Serpent’s Cunning. With at least 50 points of Serpent’s Cunning, she can tear through space with rapid slashes, dealing ice element area damage. Any excess beyond 50 points increases damage by 1% per point, up to a maximum of 12%. In Seven Strikes Flash mode, her elemental burst is replaced by “Malicious Technique: Extermination,” which requires no Serpent’s Cunning and grants the effect of “Carving Perfection.” Unlocking “Beyond Reason” allows her to absorb Rifts of Euthymia, further enhancing her normal attack damage. This effect ends after being triggered 10 times.
Her inherent talents are equally impressive. “Beyond Reason” creates Rifts of Euthymia when nearby party members trigger ice element reactions. “Flow into Silence” grants the “River of Death Interruption” effect, up to 3 layers, when ice or water element characters in the party deal damage. “All Techniques Flow Together” increases the elemental skill level by 1 when both ice and water element characters are present in the party.
Her constellation is the icing on the cake. The first constellation, “Obscure the Far,” summons ice shards to attack enemies after absorbing Rifts of Euthymia. The second constellation, “Fall into the Abyss,” grants an additional 12 points of Serpent’s Cunning after casting an elemental skill and increases elemental burst damage. The third constellation, “Chain of Sin,” increases the level of her elemental burst by 3. The fourth constellation, “Flow Interruption,” allows each layer of “River of Death Interruption” to further enhance her combat capabilities.
