• Split-Second Victory: This is the critical counterattack. Inflicts a single instance of damage, reduces the Break bar and grants Defiant Spirit.

The best card for the Neverness to Everness Shinku build is Lost Radiance:

• Epic version: Cosmos DMG +10%.
• Legendary version: Ignores 25% of enemies’ DEF for 20 seconds after her Ultimate.

Shinku’s cycle reactions

For the NTE Shinku build to be truly effective, it must be paired with characters that enable a cycle reaction. Here are the various reactions compatible with Shinku:

• Remora (Lakshana + Cosmos): reduces the enemy’s attack and movement speed.
• Blossom (Cosmos + Anima): generates a life bud near the target. This bud sprouts 5 life pistils. These then fly towards enemies within range, exploding every two seconds. The pistils deal AoE damage.
• Charge (Lakshana + Cosmo + Anima): Combines with Blossom and grants the active character 10 ultimate energy when the pistils deal damage.
