Skill analysis of Silkock, a five-star ice elemental one-handed sword character that will be released in Genshin Impact version 5.7
In Genshin Impact version 5.7, a highly anticipated ice elemental one-handed sword character is about to debut, and she is Silkock. This five-star character with the ice element of God’s Eye has a rarity of five stars and an attribute bonus of +38.4% critical damage. This article will analyze Silkock’s skills, exclusive weapons, and constellation information in detail to help players better understand this upcoming new character.
The core gameplay of Silkock revolves around the special resource “Snake’s Cunning”, which is different from the traditional elemental energy system. Through the carefully designed skill mechanism, she can achieve efficient output and control in battle, providing strong combat support for the team.
Exclusive weapon: Cang Yao
Silkock’s exclusive weapon is called “Cang Yao”, which is a one-handed sword with a basic attack power of 608 and a 33.1% critical rate. Its unique weapon effect “Gift of the White Mountain” allows the wearer to increase the attack power by 24% immediately after casting the elemental combat skill, and further increase the attack power by 24% and the critical damage by 40% when the elemental energy is 0. This effect allows Silkcock to maintain a strong output capacity without relying on the element cycle.
Normal attack: Extremely evil skill·Break
Silkcock’s normal attack is divided into three stages: continuous attack, heavy attack and falling attack. Continuous attack can be performed up to five stages, showing a unique swordsmanship style. Heavy attack consumes physical strength to throw the spinning crystal spear, causing high damage to the enemy. Falling attack is to fall from the air and hit the ground, not only attacking enemies on the falling path, but also causing range damage when landing, bringing an improvement to the rhythm of the battle.
Elemental combat skills: Extremely evil skill·Flash
Silkcock’s elemental combat skills are divided into two forms: tap and long press, corresponding to different combat needs. A tap will grant her 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and switch to “Seven Phases Flash” mode; a long tap will grant her the same Serpent’s Cunning and activate the fast movement state, which can be ended early by casting the skill again. This design greatly improves Silk’s mobility and flexibility in combat.
Elemental Burst: Extreme Skill·Destruction
Silk’s elemental burst does not rely on traditional elemental energy, but consumes Serpent’s Cunning to cast. When Serpent’s Cunning reaches 50 points, she will tear the space in front of her and perform high-speed continuous slashes, causing ice element range damage. The part of Serpent’s Cunning that exceeds 50 points will further increase the burst damage, up to an additional 12 points. It is worth noting that in “Seven Phases Flash” mode, the elemental burst will be replaced by “Extreme Skill·Extreme”, a special elemental burst that does not consume Serpent’s Cunning and has a more powerful effect.
Fixed Skill Analysis
Reasoning outside of reason
This inherent talent allows nearby characters in the team to create virtual rifts near the enemy when freezing, superconducting, ice diffusion or ice crystallization reactions are triggered. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5 seconds, and there can be a maximum of 3 virtual rifts created by Silkock on the field. Silkock can absorb these virtual rifts in a specific way, and each time he absorbs one, he will gain 8 points of Serpent’s Cunning.
All Flows Return to Silence
When a nearby water element or ice element character in the team causes corresponding elemental damage, Silkock will gain the Dead River Crossing lasting 20 seconds
