Mastered Onslaught
After activating Normal Attack or Combat Skill, deals Slash Additional DMG equal to 30% of this unit's ATK to the target.
Kikoru Shinomiya [Evolving Talent] is a dual-attribute Slash/Blunt Attacker who specializes in Additional Damage and explosive DPS scaling. With access to Extra Attacks and self-buffing mechanics, she steadily ramps up her damage as battles progress, making her especially strong in sustained and multi-target encounters.
Her Combat Skill delivers a Blast attack, while her Ultimate provides AoE damage, allowing Kikoru to perform well against multiple enemies. She also gains access to Extra Attacks through the Wrath mechanic, earning stacks whenever she uses skills or when allies take damage. With three or more Wrath stacks, she triggers a Blast-type Extra Attack after attacking.
Kikoru’s kit is built around amplifying her own Additional Damage. While the Bold buff is active—applied at the start of battle or through her Ultimate—she can inflict Slash Additional Damage after using her Combat Skill or Extra Attack. Her Extra Attacks further increase her Additional Damage Multiplier, enabling her DPS to scale rapidly over time.
Beyond offense, Kikoru also provides team utility. Her Combat Skill grants Damage Taken Reduction to all allies, improving overall survivability without sacrificing damage output.
Her power spikes significantly with Ascensions. At A1, she triggers Additional Damage after Normal Attacks and skills, A2 increases CRIT DMG during her Bold state, and at A6, defeating a Kaiju grants Wrath while further boosting the base damage and CRIT DMG of her Additional Damage.
