Icy Devotion: Elfe’s Battlefield Hymn
On this battlefield blanketed by ice and snow, a new Ice element envoy is about to take the stage. Elfe, the upcoming 5-star Ice element character, is like a winter snowflake—pure yet lethal. Though she appears as a sub-DPS, her unique talents can bring an icy, freezing descent upon the battlefield, infusing the team with glacial might.
Elfe’s Profile
This Ice element envoy wields a long-handled weapon, her eyes gleaming with the light of ice and snow. Her Elemental Skill is as precise as a master chef’s knife work, slicing through the battlefield with ease. Meanwhile, her Elemental Burst is like a healing rain of ice, restoring life to the team. Most remarkably, her passive talent makes her an indispensable presence in Ice teams: when the team includes 1/2/3/4 Water or Ice element characters, she reduces enemies’ resistance to Water and Ice elements by 5%/10%/15%/55%.
Martial Path
In this icy battle, Elfe’s talent upgrades should follow a specific priority:
Elemental Skill: Cryo Cooking (★★★★★)
Elemental Burst: Flourishing Blade Technique (★★★★)
Normal Attack: Kitchen Mastery (★)
As a sub-DPS character, her Elemental Skill is her core source of damage and must be prioritized. Her Elemental Burst provides team healing and is also crucial. Her Normal Attack, on the other hand, plays a supporting role in this icy spectacle and requires only moderate investment.
