Frostbite Slayer： The Supreme Role in the Ultimate Evil Flow Sword Technique

Frostblade’s Edge: Pursuing the Ultimate Expression of a Game Character in the Art of the Evil Flow Swordsmanship
In an era where the digital world has been reconstructed, a figure from ancient times is about to emerge in the familiar game world we know. Her name is Shiku, a 5-star ice element single-handed sword character set to appear in version 5.7 of Genshin Impact. Her story is a legend of ice and swords, as well as the ultimate pursuit of game character design.
On this battlefield shrouded in frost, Shiku wields the Qingyao, showcasing the unique swordsmanship of the Evil Flow. Her arrival is destined to stir up an ice storm in the game. This is not just the addition of a new character, but also the ultimate pursuit of character design by the game’s designers.
Qingyao, her exclusive weapon, carries the gift of the White Mountain. After Shiku uses her elemental skill, Qingyao’s power is revealed: within 12 seconds, her attack power is increased by 24%. If the user’s elemental energy is at 0, the attack power is further increased by 24%, and the critical damage is increased by 40%. This is the power of Qingyao, and it represents the deep integration of weapon and character design.
On this icy tundra, Shiku’s normal attacks are as sharp and clean as the strikes of the Evil Flow. She can perform up to five consecutive attacks, each as piercing as ice. When performing a charged attack, she hurls a spinning ice spear, dealing devastating blows to enemies. Her plunging attack is even more ferocious, striking the ground with icy fury and causing area-of-effect damage. These design details reflect the designers’ ultimate pursuit of the character.
Shiku’s elemental skill, Evil Technique: Flash, truly captures her combat style. When tapped, she gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, switching to the Seven Strikes Flash mode. When held, she gains higher resistance to interruptions while moving quickly, darting across the battlefield like an icy gust of wind, unstoppable by any foe. This design not only showcases the character’s uniqueness but also reflects the designers’ pursuit of combat fluidity.
Shiku’s elemental burst, Evil Technique: Extermination, is her finishing move. She does not require elemental energy but relies on Serpent’s Cunning. When Serpent’s Cunning reaches 50 points, she tears through space, performing rapid consecutive slashes that deal ice elemental area-of-effect damage. In the Seven Strikes Flash mode, her Evil Technique: End becomes even more lethal under the Carve effect. This design reflects the designers’ ultimate pursuit of the character.
On this icy tundra, Shiku’s fixed skills are as unstoppable as ice. The principle of Li Wai allows her to create rifts in the void and, under specific conditions, absorb these rifts to gain the power of Serpent’s Cunning. Wan Liu Gui Jing is her special perception of water and ice elements. When a water or ice element character in the party deals damage, she gains the Dead River Crossing effect, further enhancing her attack power. Zhu Wu Xiang Shou is her special requirement for the party. When there are water and ice element characters in the party, the level of her elemental skill is increased, showcasing the true power of the Evil Flow. These design details reflect the designers’ deep thought process.
Constellations are the path to enhancing Shiku’s power. Yuan Yuan allows her to summon ice blades to attack enemies, dealing 500% ice elemental damage when absorbing rifts. Yue Yan increases her Serpent’s Cunning after using her elemental skill, boosting the damage of her elemental burst and significantly increasing the damage of her normal attacks. Zui Yuan allows her to gain additional Serpent’s Cunning when a water or ice element character is in the party, further enhancing her combat effectiveness. These constellation designs reflect the designers’ meticulous craftsmanship and their pursuit of character perfection.
