Ice Shard Sword Shadow: Analysis of Silochka’s Ultimate Skills in Genshin Impact Version 5.7
In the vast fantasy land of Genshin Impact, a snowy fantasy is about to unfold. In version 5.7, a long-awaited ice-element female warrior, Silochka, will make her debut. As the inheritor of the God’s Eye bloodline, she boasts a 5-star rarity and an impressive 38.4% critical damage bonus. This battle maiden from the icy lands will ignite the passion of Genshin Impact fans with her unique gameplay. This article provides an in-depth analysis of her abilities to help players better understand this upcoming ice beauty.
Silochka’s core gameplay revolves around the unique resource “Serpent’s Cunning,” which differs from the traditional elemental energy system. Her exquisite ultimate skill mechanics allow her to achieve efficient damage output and control in combat, providing strong support for her team. Her presence is like a meticulously planned ice fantasy, leaving enemies with nowhere to hide under her blade.
Exclusive Weapon: Cangyao
Silochka’s exclusive weapon is called “Cangyao,” a single-handed sword embodying the brilliance of the ice mountain’s peak. With a base attack of 608 and a 33.1% critical rate, it comes with the unique effect “Gifts from Baek Mountain.” This effect grants an immediate 24% attack boost after using an elemental skill, and when elemental energy is at 0, it further enhances attack by 24% and critical damage by 40%. This allows Silochka to maintain strong output without relying on elemental energy cycling. Cangyao shines like a beacon on the battlefield.
Normal Attack: Gokuwatsu: Dan
Silochka’s normal attacks resemble a meticulously choreographed sword dance. Her combo can go up to five strikes, each as fluid as a dragon playing in water. Her charged attack consumes stamina to hurl a spinning ice spear, dealing massive damage like an icy storm sweeping the battlefield. Her plunging attack impacts enemies in her descent and upon landing, adding a dynamic rhythm to combat. Every strike embodies the will of ice.
Elemental Skill: Gokuwatsu: Sen
Silochka’s elemental skill has two forms: tap and hold. Tapping grants 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and switches her to “Seven Phases, One Flash” mode, while holding grants the same points but activates a rapid movement state, which can be ended early by recasting the skill. This design enhances her mobility and flexibility in combat, making her as agile as an ice leaf dancing in the wind.
Elemental Burst: Gokuwatsu: Metsu
Silochka’s elemental burst does not rely on traditional elemental energy but consumes Serpent’s Cunning. When Serpent’s Cunning reaches 50 points, she tears through the space in front of her, delivering rapid slashes that deal ice elemental area damage. Exceeding 50 points further boosts burst damage by up to 12 additional points. Notably, in “Seven Phases, One Flash” mode, her elemental burst is replaced by “Gokuwatsu: Jin,” a special burst that requires no Serpent’s Cunning and deals even greater damage.
