Glacial Gaze: Sekiro’s Posture and Spirit
In this vast and desolate land covered in ice and snow, a lone figure moves like a phantom. Her sword gleams with a frigid light, each swing telling an ancient tale. This is Sekiro, the upcoming Ice element single-handed sword character. Her story is deeply intertwined with the memories sealed in ice.
Sword’s Chilling Radiance
Sekiro is a 5-star Ice element single-handed sword character, her combat stance as stern as the icy tundras. Similar to the Fire God, her Elemental Burst does not rely on traditional elemental energy but instead draws from a mysterious force called “Serpent’s Cunning.” This unique resource makes her fighting style distinctive, like a blade hidden deep within a glacier.
Her damage output has two forms, akin to the two types of snow in winter. The first comes from her Normal and Charged Attacks. When she uses her Elemental Skill to enter “Seven Blades” mode, each strike consumes “Serpent’s Cunning” to unleash enhanced attacks, relentless like icy particles in the cold wind. The second is her burst damage; by consuming all “Serpent’s Cunning,” she can release her powerful Elemental Burst, “Shinobi’s Resolve – Execution,” whose damage increases with the accumulation of resources, unstoppable like the collapse of an iceberg.
Path of Talents
On this icy path, talent selection is crucial. Everything revolves around finding vitality in the cold. Prioritize upgrading “Shinobi’s Resolve – Execution,” her most powerful burst skill, like the coldest strike of winter. Next is “Shinobi’s Resolve – Flash,” key to her agility on the icy plains, like the swiftest shadow in the north wind. Lastly, “Shinobi’s Resolve – Severance” is less prominent but still vital in critical moments, like the last unyielding ice flower in the harsh winter.
Blade Selection
As an Ice element DPS character reliant on attack power, weapon choice is vital. She needs not just sharp blades but weapons that can awaken her inner icy power. The top choice is her signature weapon, “Frosted Light,” a 5-star sword with a base attack of 674 and a 22.1% critical rate bonus. Its effects perfectly match her combat style: a 24% attack boost after using Elemental Skill and further increases to attack and critical damage by 40% when Elemental Energy is depleted, like gaining the strongest aid on the icy plains.
Other excellent 5-star options include “Moonlit Wayfinder” and “Tidal Abyss Farewell.” For 4-star weapons, “Wolf’s Bane,” “Dark Blade,” and “Ocean’s End Serenade” also provide strong support in different situations. Each weapon is a sharp tool for her icy journey, making her fearless in battle.
Relic Selection
Choosing the right relics is like arming her with the most suitable armor in this icy world. “Deep Corridor Serenade” is the best fit for her. Its 2-piece set provides a 15% Ice element damage bonus, while the 4-piece set enhances Normal and Elemental Burst damage by 60% under specific conditions, like donning her with an invisible ice armor.
