Shinku is a Burst-focused DMG dealer.
While in combat, if Shinku does not initiate attacks for a period of time, she gains Menacing Gaze and continuously builds stacks. Successfully performing a Critical Dodge against enemy attacks grants additional Menacing Gaze stacks.
When Shinku actively launches an attack, she consumes Menacing Gaze to trigger Instant Strike, dealing extra DMG.
Using Basic Attack builds Energy for Crimson Fury.
After casting Ultimate, Shinku enters the enhanced state Surging Crimson, replacing her Basic Attack and Skills with enhanced versions. During Surging Crimson, she can build Skill Energy through Basic Attack, allowing her to unleash more enhanced Skills and her exclusive Ultimate.
