Hikari Shinomiya [The Valkyrie] is a 5★ dual-attribute Slash/Wind Attacker who excels at high-tempo combat and sustained damage scaling. Her kit revolves around powerful self-buffs, increased action frequency, and efficient SP usage, making her a strong and flexible damage dealer.
With access to both Slash and Wind attributes, Hikari can break Physical and Elemental Plates, allowing her to adapt easily to different enemy formations. This versatility makes her especially effective in content where frequent Core Exposed setups are required.
Before activating her Ultimate, Hikari enters the Acceleration state, gaining SPD and DMG Dealt buffs that let her act more often and hit harder. During Acceleration, using her Combat Skill against a Core-Exposed Kaiju restores 1 SP, allowing her to maintain skill usage without worrying about SP consumption.
Hikari’s damage continues to ramp up through additional self-buffs. She gains stacking ATK increases each time she breaks a Plate, up to five stacks, and receives a CRIT DMG bonus when attacking Core-Exposed enemies. Combined with Acceleration, these effects allow her to maintain strong, consistent damage throughout extended fights.
Thanks to her speed, dual-plate breaking, and Core Exposed synergy, Hikari Shinomiya [The Valkyrie] stands out as an S+ tier Attacker, especially in teams built around fast plate breaking and high action frequency.
