This weapon was specially forged for Silcock, allowing her to fully utilize her swordsmanship style.
Silcock’s Basic Sword Technique: Extreme Skill – Break
Basic Sword Technique:
• Can perform up to five consecutive slashes.
• Heavy Slash: Consumes a certain amount of True Energy, throws a spinning ice-marble, dealing damage to enemies in front.
• Slashing Strike: Descends from the air, striking the ground and dealing damage to enemies in the falling path. Upon landing, it also deals area damage. These slashing methods allow Silcock to switch flexibly on the battlefield, dealing continuous damage.
Silcock’s Internal Martial Art: Extreme Skill – Flash
Internal Martial Art:
• Tap: Silcock gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and switches to the Seven Phases Flash mode.
• Hold: Silcock gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and enters a state of rapid movement, which increases her resistance to interruptions. During this state, Silcock can control the direction of her rapid movement and can end the rapid movement state early by recasting the martial art. This martial art makes Silcock as elusive as a ghost in battle.
Silcock’s Ultimate Skill: Extreme Skill – Annihilate
Ultimate Skill:
Silcock’s ultimate skill does not rely on True Energy but on Serpent’s Cunning. When Silcock has at least 50 points of Serpent’s Cunning, she can consume all Serpent’s Cunning to activate her ultimate skill, tearing through the space in front of her and performing a series of rapid slashes, dealing ice-marble area damage. Additionally, based on the amount of Serpent’s Cunning Silcock has beyond 50 points, each additional point of Serpent’s Cunning will increase the damage dealt by this ultimate skill, with a maximum of 12 points added through this method.
When Silcock is in the Seven Phases Flash mode, her ultimate skill “Extreme Skill – Annihilate” will be replaced by “Extreme Skill – Exhaust.”
Extreme Skill – Exhaust:
A special ultimate skill that can be activated without consuming Serpent’s Cunning. After activation, Silcock gains the “Carved to the Extreme” effect, which lasts until the end of the Seven Phases Flash mode. After unlocking the intrinsic martial art “Reason Beyond,” Silcock will also absorb the Void Rifts within a certain range around her. During the duration of the “Carved to the Extreme” effect, every 0.1 seconds, if Silcock’s basic sword technique hits an enemy, the damage dealt by that basic sword technique will increase. If the “Extreme Skill – Exhaust” is activated while absorbing the Void Rifts, the damage dealt by this basic sword technique will further increase.
