The Tale of Shoko, the Listener of the Wind: The Strongest Resonancer on the Mainland
In this land caressed by the sea breeze, it feels as though someone is calling out, and someone is responding. That someone is her—Shoko, the Wind Resonancer! Her Aero Pistol dances like the wind itself; a gentle tap unleashes thunder, and a swift swing stirs a hurricane. While dealing damage from the backline, she also provides powerful support to her teammates. As a 5-star Aero Pistol Resonancer, she can inflict the Wind Erosion effect, further amplifying the damage enemies receive. Her abilities include applying the Wind Erosion effect through basic attacks, Resonance Skills, and Resonance Liberation. Her Encore skill increases the Wind Erosion effect on enemies by 100%, and her Resonance Circuit gathers enemies, making it easier for teammates to land multi-hit attacks.
Oh, the importance of Shoko’s skill upgrade order! When cultivating Shoko, the sequence of skill upgrades is crucial. Follow this priority:
Resonance Liberation: ★★★★★, like a tiger descending the mountain, leading the charge;
Resonance Circuit: ★★★, like a net cast over the heavens and earth, gathering enemies in one place;
Basic Attack: ★★, flowing like water, piercing the enemy’s heart;
Resonance Skill: ★★, like spring rain nourishing the soul;
Encore Skill: ★, the final blow, the anchor that stabilizes all!
Choosing the right weapon is crucial for Shoko, as she relies on high burst damage to deal harm.
