The Unrivaled Pride: The Legend of the Ice Snow Goddess’s Sword Shadow
In a world shrouded by a thousand-year-long harsh winter, a lone figure stands proudly amidst the howling cold winds. She is Cirkon, the upcoming 5-star ice element single-handed sword character in Genshin Impact’s version 5.7. Her story will unfold before us like the first rays of dawn’s cold light at the break of day.
Cirkon’s character profile is akin to an ancient prophecy, chronicling her innate power and destiny. She is the chosen one, the apostle of ice, wielding a single-handed sword with the gleam of the divine eye in her gaze. Her bonus attribute, a 38.4% increase in critical damage, signals her ruthlessness and unwavering resolve in battle.
Exclusive Weapon: Qīngyào
Qīngyào, this exclusive weapon, is as translucent as the morning dew, resembling a celestial object fallen to earth. Its base attack is 608, with a critical rate of 33.1%. In this icy world, Qīngyào will be Cirkon’s most loyal companion. The blessings of Yuelong make this sword even more enigmatic: after Cirkon casts her elemental skill, Qīngyào will grant her a 24% attack boost for 12 seconds. And when her elemental energy is depleted, the sword’s power intensifies further, not only boosting her attack by an additional 24% but also increasing her critical damage by 40%. This is like a ray of winter sunshine, giving her the courage to overcome all challenges.
Normal Attack: Gekido·Dan
Cirkon’s normal attacks are like sword flashes in the cold wind, filled with relentless determination. She can perform up to five consecutive attacks, each strike as crisp and merciless as shattering ice crystals. Her charged attack is like a spinning ice spear, piercing through enemy defenses to deliver frigid damage. Her plunging attack is akin to an icy hammer, shattering all obstacles in her path.
Elemental Skill: Gekido·Sen
Cirkon’s elemental skill is like a dance under the moonlight, a graceful yet deadly performance. When tapped, she gains 45 points of serpent’s stealth, switching to the Seven Strikes Flash mode. When held, her figure moves swiftly like flowing water, with significantly enhanced resistance to interruptions. Her swift movements are like a dragon traversing the ice, unstoppable by any force.
Elemental Burst: Gekido·Metsu
Cirkon’s elemental burst does not rely on elemental energy but on serpent’s stealth. When she accumulates enough cunning intent, her sword tip erupts in a dazzling light, tearing through space to unleash rapid consecutive slashes, dealing ice element area damage. If she is in the Seven Strikes Flash mode, her elemental burst is replaced by Gekido· Jin, requiring no consumption of serpent’s stealth and gaining the Carve effect. Every 0.1 seconds, Cirkon’s normal attacks will increase damage output, and if she absorbs the Rift of Euthenia, the damage will be further enhanced until the trigger count reaches 10 times.
Beyond the Reason
In Cirkon’s team, nearby characters who trigger Freeze, Superconduct, Ice Element Spread, or Ice Element Crystallization reactions will create a Rift of Euthenia near enemies. This can occur once every 2.5 seconds, with up to 3 Rifts existing on the field created by Cirkon herself. She can absorb the Rift of Euthenia through her Seven Strikes Flash mode charged attacks, her special elemental burst Gekido· Jin, or by quickly moving with her held elemental skill Gekido· Sen.
