Profile Update

Reno Ichikawa - The Compatible User is a top-tier Shot / Ice Attacker who can deals bonus damage outside of his own turn by applying Ice Crystals to enemies. His kit rewards team coordination, making him an exceptional damage enabler in both single-target and multi-enemy battles.

Reno’s Combat Skill applies Ice Crystal to enemies, causing them to take additional Ice damage whenever an ally attacks the marked target. This mechanic allows Reno to contribute consistent damage even when it’s not his turn, significantly boosting the team’s overall DPS. As a result, he pairs especially well with fast or multi-hit attackers.

Thanks to his Passive Skill, Reno can spread Ice Crystals to nearby enemies after using a Combat Skill, Follow-Up, or Ultimate on a target already affected. This makes him extremely effective in multi-target encounters, allowing him to blanket the battlefield with Ice Crystals and trigger chain damage across multiple Kaiju.

Reno’s dual damage profile further increases his versatility. He deals both Shot (Physical) and Ice (Elemental) damage, while also being able to reduce both Physical RES and Elemental RES. This flexibility allows him to fit seamlessly into a wide variety of team compositions without being locked into a single damage type.

At higher levels, Reno gains additional value through SP regeneration. Upon reaching Level 40, he has a chance to recover SP after using his Combat Skill, enabling more frequent skill usage for the entire team and reducing overall resource pressure during longer encounters. With powerful off-turn damage, battlefield-wide debuffs, crowd control, and excellent team synergy, he stands out as one of the most reliable and impactful attackers in the game.
