Ice Shard Blade, Lone Vigilante: The Frosty Legend of Akephi
In this vast and boundless world, the arrival of every figure carries endless legends. Now, a female knight from the icy domain is about to step onto this stage. Her name is Akephi, wielding a long-handled weapon, with an icy heart and a proud demeanor. Though she stands as a deputy general, her unique martial insights and cooperative strategies will bring new tactical ideas to many teams. Despite being in the deputy position, her ice-elemental support abilities make her an indispensable core auxiliary for any team. This article will delve into the characteristics of this icy female knight and provide a detailed growth guide for enthusiasts.
I. Positioning and Martial Philosophy of the Ice Shard Knight
Akephi is an ice-elemental long-handled weapon user, with her greatest feature being her powerful team support capabilities. When she is in play, her “Low-Temperature Cooking” technique allows her to coordinate attacks from off-field, while her “Floral Blade Technique” burst can heal nearby teammates based on her attack power. Additionally, her passive talent makes her one of the key auxiliary roles in the current martial world: when the team has 1/2/3/4 water or ice elemental characters, Akephi will reduce the water and ice elemental resistance of any enemy hit by her elemental skills or burst by 5%/10%/15%/55%.
II. The Path to Martial Mastery: Priority Analysis
Elemental Skill: Low-Temperature Cooking (★★★★★)
As a deputy character, Akephi’s main damage output comes from her elemental skill, making this the top priority for mastery. Prioritizing this skill will significantly enhance her ability to coordinate attacks.
Elemental Burst: Floral Blade Technique (★★★★)
Her burst not only provides a healing effect for the entire team but also further enhances the team’s survivability. It is recommended to allocate appropriate resources to this skill in martial mastery.
Normal Attack: Kitchen Skills (★)
Compared to her elemental skill and burst, her normal attack contributes the least to overall performance, so it can be mastered last.
