Hiyuki Resonator Profile
Hiyuki is a Glacio Sword resonator who functions as a Main DPS, specializing in Resonance Liberation DMG. Her gameplay revolves around cycling between two states, Present Self and Foreclaimed Self, to build up and unleash powerful charged attacks.
In Present Self, Hiyuki builds Dedication through Basic Attacks, Dodge Counters, and Resonance Skills. Once Dedication is full, she can cast Frost Splinter: Present Self followed by Foreclaiming: Inward Vision, transitioning into Foreclaimed Self and setting up her core damage loop.
While in Foreclaimed Self, Hiyuki builds Frostheart and Whiteout Bitterfrost stacks. With enough Frostheart, she can enter Iai Stance and cast Iai repeatedly, each cast granting a stack of Snowforged Blade, up to 3. These stacks are then consumed by Foreclaiming: Blade Liberation, her ultimate nuke, where more stacks spent directly increases the attack's damage multiplier.
Hiyuki also benefits from teammates who apply Glacio Chafe or Havoc Bane, which grant her Snow Rust stacks. At 3 stacks, she unlocks amplified Glacio Bite and Glacio Chafe damage.
