“Ice and Snow Elegy: Shisui’s Whisper and Swan Song”
In this battlefield shrouded in frost, a figure stands as serene as moonlight, yet as ferocious as a cold tide. She is Shisui, the upcoming ice-element single-handed sword character in Genshin Impact. Her story is an elegy of ice and snow, a swan song of loneliness and destruction.
I. Whispers of Fate
Shisui, a five-star ice-element warrior, wields a single-handed sword with eyes that shimmer with icy determination. Her elemental burst does not rely on ordinary elemental energy but on a mysterious power known as the “Serpent’s Cunning.” This power, like a snake, winds and hides, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, filling her combat style with an air of mystery.
Her combat style has two faces: the first is like a freezing tide—her Normal and Charged Attacks are enhanced in the Shisen Kagero mode, each strike slicing through enemies’ souls like an icy blade; the second is like the collapse of a glacier—her Elemental Burst, “Shi Hai Kōtetsu,” unleashes all her power, delivering devastating blows.
II. Elegy of Ice and Snow
In this symphony of ice and snow, the priority of talents is like the notes of a melody, needing to be just right. The Elemental Burst, “Shi Hai Kōtetsu,” is the climax of the piece and should be prioritized; the Elemental Skill, “Shisen Kagero,” is the main theme and should also be emphasized; while the Talent “Kagiroshi” is the epilogue, unassuming but indispensable.
III. Whispers of the Stars
On this icy battlefield, her weapon is her most loyal companion. “Amenoma Kageuchi,” this five-star weapon, is like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating her path of combat. It not only increases her Critical Hit Rate but also provides enhanced Attack and Critical Damage after she uses her Elemental Skill. This effect is as gentle as moonlight yet as ruthless as a cold tide.
If “Amenoma Kageuchi” is unattainable, “Mujina Nihrito” can be chosen as an alternative weapon. Like a flower in the mist, it brings Elemental Damage Bonus and the “Mujina Satsujin” effect, making her attacks even more formidable.
IV. Finale of Fate
Artifacts are the final chapter of this ice and snow elegy. “Deepwood Memorial” is like the whispers of fate, providing Ice Elemental Damage Bonus and a powerful boost when Elemental Energy is depleted. This effect is like the toll of midnight bells, reminding her of the harsh reality of battle. For beginners, “Gladiator’s Finale” and “Noble Oath” are the prelude and interlude of the piece, not as climactic as “Deepwood Memorial,” but equally essential.
V. Symphony of Ice and Snow
On this icy battlefield, Shisui’s team is like a symphony, requiring the harmony of all instruments. Her Talent “Kagiroshi” needs teammates with Water and Ice elements to accumulate the “Shi Hai Kōtetsu” effect, making her combat even more powerful.
Main DPS teams, Water teams, Ice teams, and low-investment teams—these different lineup configurations are like different musical movements, each with its own characteristics. In a Main DPS team, Akeha, Funnell, and Shato are like her guardian deities, protecting her from all dangers. In a Water team, Yelan, Mona, and Xingqiu are like her water soldiers, helping her accumulate the “Shi Hai Kōtetsu” effect and enhance her combat power. In an Ice team, Zhongli and Rosaria are like her ice warriors, complementing her frozen symphony.
