Check the strategy of Suikyo!

Suikyo was formerly the Crateris Silver Saint at the Sanctuary,as well as Tenma's mentor.

In order to expose Odysseus' conspiracy, he joined Hades' army and became Garuda Aiacos, one of the three Underworld Generals.

For all his life, Suikyo has sacrificed everything he has for others.

No matter where he is, he always lives by his words:

"One can only live on in the warmth and love from others."

He is Athena's Saint and always will be.

Skills

Skill 1: White Lotus Ice Spear

A basic attack skill that deals cosmic damage to a single target.

With each active use, an additional attack will be launched the next time this skill is cast.

It allows up to two additional attacks, and this skill can be leveled up to Level 2 or 4.

Skill 2: Ice Spears Vortex

It deals cosmic damage to a single enemy.

After the attack, additional damage will be dealt multiple times.

The damage of each additional attack will be reduced by a certain percentage.

It can deal extremely high burst damage. Players are recommended to max this skill.

Skill 3: Will of the Ice Spear

Suikyo forgoes the ability to receive HP recovery in exchange for ATK boost.

When his HP is reduced to a specific amount,he can cast the corresponding skill at no cost.

As the skill level increases, the required HP loss to trigger this effect will decrease and the ATK bonus he receives will increase.

Players are recommended to level up this skill to at least Level 4.

Skill 4: Moon Water Reflection

This skill comprises two HP-related elements: [Water] and [Mirror].

In each round, before taking action,Suikyo will convert part of his current HP to [Water].

After taking action, [Water] will transform into [Mirror].

When his HP loss exceeds a certain threshold,he may receive [Mirror] equal to a certain percentage of his Max HP,and [Mirror] will bear the damage instead.

Battle Analysis

Suikyo is an excellent damage dealer.

He actively launches attacks with Skill 1 and 2 and deals additional damage continuously with Skill 3 and 4 to deal swift, fatal blows to the enemies.

If players wish to fully utilize Suikyo's abilities,they ought to know a few things and turn them to their advantage.

1. The additional skills cast under Will of the Ice Spear's effect will not use up any turns.

2. The conversion mechanic of Moon Water Reflection will not be activated the second time.

Skills that are triggered during extra moves can be cast at no cost.

3. [Mirror]'s function is equal to that of a Shield.

It ignores any Shield-breaking attempts,but isn't exempted from Slash.

4. Suikyo cannot receive any healing effect.

Therefore, to prevent the effect of Skill 3 from getting triggered, players should team Suikyo up with control and defense-focused Saints.

This is to ensure Suikyo's survivability.

These details will be helpful to players as they try to master this character.

Attribute Allocation

Recommended Cosmo: Dragon's Chant + The Cross / Spirit Print / Morning Glory + Nether + Black Widow / Water Curtain

Recommended Sub-attributes

Speed, C.DMG, C.ATK, Skill Res, HP

Speed can be adjusted according to the lineup's need.

Suikyo's key attributes concern attack and defense.

But those two aspects will be affected by one attribute,Speed.

Speed determines Suikyo's role and position in the lineup.

If players want to eliminate the opponents as quickly as they can, high Speed is ideal.

If they prefer to focus on the late-game battle and gradually weaken the enemies,they may stick to the low Speed setting.

This will grant Suikyo protection from his allies and prevent the enemies from targeting him at once.

Other important attributes include C.DMG, C.ATK, and Skill Res.

Due to his passive skill mechanic, Life Steal is useless to Suikyo.

Hence, his survivability and attack depend on the lineups he is in.

Recommended Allies

Cain, Underworld Shun

Cain's Another Dimension is able to disrupt the opponents' battle strategies.

Apart from restricting their moves, Cain can revive his allies with Kishikaisei.

It's a great form of protection to Suikyo, who is vulnerable to swift, fatal blows.

Extra moves and other buffs will benefit Suikyo.

With Underworld Shun around,not only can he ensure the lineup's survivability,but he also allows Suikyo's Ice Spears Vortex to find its breakthrough. 

Divine Dohko, Shijima

Divine Dohko's skills are highly compatible with Suikyo's.

His continuous and stacked Bleed effect, attack buffs, and additional Energy will be helpful to Suikyo.

In other words, Divine Dohko can be both a core damage dealer and a great Support Saint.

Shijima can cast Four Doors of Buddha on the enemy's damage dealer frequently.

His Door of Life significantly reduces the target's ATK.

Its target-specific trait works well with Suikyo's high burst damage.

Together, they can target certain enemy Saints and quickly take action.

This is why choosing Speed as Suikyo's sub-attribute is crucial to his lineups.

Suikyo's greatest strength is his outstanding ability to deal damage.

The lower his HP is, the higher the damage he deals.

He can often turn the tide with his powerful attacks,making him a unique and invaluable Saint to players who pursue power and efficiency.

Alright, that is all for today.

See you next time!
