How to Play Soukaku
The main mechanic for Soukaku is her Vortex stacks. These have a cap of 3 which are shown under her icon in the top left while on-field. Vortex stacks are consumed before or during Fly the Flag to grant buffs for both Soukaku and also the team. For Soukaku, this grants her the Frosted Banner state to enhance her Basic Attack and Dash Attacks.
You can gain Vortex in the following ways:
- 1 Stack when launching an EX Special Attack.
- 1 Stack from a Chain Attack.
- 3 Stacks from an Ultimate Attack.
- 15% chance of gaining a stack from Basic Attack, Dash Attack, Dodge Counters and Reactive Assists with Experimental Charging Module (B Talent).
For the team, consuming Vortex to activate Fly the Flag increases the Ice DMG of the team by 15%. Consuming Vortex during Fly the Flag grants Soukaku a 12.5% ATK increase which is passed along when switching in via Chain Attacks or Assist Attacks triggered by Fly the Flag. If no stacks are consumed, Fly the Flag just grants a 6.25% ATK increase.
