Genshin Impact 5.7 Version: Five-Star Ice Element Single-Handed Sword Character – Silcock Skill Analysis
In Genshin Impact version 5.7, a highly anticipated ice element single-handed sword character is about to debut, her name is Silcock. As a five-star character equipped with the Divine Eye of Ice, her rarity is five-star, and her attribute enhancement is Critical Damage +38.4%. This article will provide a detailed analysis of Silcock’s skills, exclusive weapon, and constellation information to help players better understand this upcoming new character.
Silcock’s core gameplay revolves around a special resource called “Snake’s Cunning,” which differs from the traditional elemental energy system. Through meticulously designed skill mechanisms, she can achieve efficient output and control in combat, providing strong combat support for the team.
Exclusive Weapon: Azure Light
Silcock’s exclusive weapon is called “Azure Light,” a single-handed sword with a base attack of 608 and a 33.1% critical rate. Its unique weapon effect, “Gifts from White Mountain,” allows the equipping character to immediately increase their attack power by 24% after casting an elemental skill. When the elemental energy is at 0, the attack power and critical damage are further increased by 24% and 40%, respectively. This effect enables Silcock to maintain strong output without relying on elemental cycling.
Normal Attack: Extreme Technique – Sever
Silcock’s normal attack consists of three parts: consecutive attacks, charged attacks, and plunging attacks. The consecutive attacks can go up to five strikes, showcasing her unique swordsmanship style. The charged attack consumes stamina to throw a spinning crystal spear, dealing high damage to enemies. The plunging attack involves descending from the air to strike the ground, damaging enemies along the path and causing additional area damage upon landing, enhancing the combat rhythm.
Elemental Skill: Extreme Technique – Flash
Silcock’s elemental skill has two forms: tap and hold. Tapping grants her 45 points of Snake’s Cunning and switches her to “Seven Phases Flash” mode. Holding the skill also grants the same amount of Snake’s Cunning while activating a rapid movement state, which can be ended early by recasting the skill. This design greatly enhances Silcock’s mobility and flexibility in combat.
Elemental Burst: Extreme Technique – Annihilation
Silcock’s elemental burst does not rely on traditional elemental energy but consumes Snake’s Cunning to activate. When Snake’s Cunning reaches 50 points, she tears through the space in front of her, performing rapid consecutive slashes that deal ice element area damage. Exceeding 50 points of Snake’s Cunning further increases the burst damage by up to an additional 12 points. Notably, in “Seven Phases Flash” mode, the elemental burst is replaced by “Extreme Technique – Exhaust,” a special burst that does not consume Snake’s Cunning and boasts even stronger effects.
Fixed Skill Analysis
Reason Beyond
This innate talent allows nearby characters in the party to create virtual realm fissures near enemies when triggering Freeze, Superconduct, Ice Element Spread, or Ice Element Crystallization reactions. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5 seconds, with a maximum of three fissures created by Silcock on the field. Silcock can absorb these virtual realm fissures through specific methods, gaining 8 points of Snake’s Cunning for each fissure absorbed.
Flow to Serenity
When nearby Water or Ice element characters in the party deal corresponding elemental damage, Silcock gains a lasting “River Crossing” effect for 20 seconds.
Silcock’s skills and exclusive weapon are deeply integrated with her unique resource system, making her a powerful and versatile character on the battlefield.
