Meet the Potential Partners In-Depth
When you arrive in Chinju Forest and speak to the Shrine Maiden, you‘ll be given the choice between 3 complex and multi-faceted partners. Let‘s analyze them extensively:
Kamisato Ayaka: Cryo Elemental DPS
As an extremely mobile melee fighter, Ayaka excels at freezing enemies in place and unleashing devastating Cryo-infused dash and attack combos. Her Elemental Burst creates a wide-reaching blizzard that shreds groups of opponents.
