Summer Sky Growth Story: The Gentleness of a Good Girl and the Ruthlessness of a Damage Queen Parallel
Fellow enthusiasts, today we’re going to talk about a character in the world of Crescendo – a girl who looks obedient and cute but hides a “damage” heart. Her name is Summer Sky. This five-star Anemo (Air) character, who wields a gun in resonance, appears to be a gentle healer but is actually the arch-nemesis of bosses. Don’t let her quiet demeanor fool you; once she enters battle mode, enemies should prepare to be “eroded by the wind to the point of questioning their life choices.”
First, let’s talk about her basic information. Summer Sky is a five-star Anemo character who uses a gun in resonance. Her role is as a sub-DPS and support. Her biggest feature is that she can tag enemies with a label that says “please call me daddy,” meaning she increases the damage enemies take. Simply put, her job is to make enemies easier to hit while making her teammates’ attacks more powerful. Doesn’t she sound like the “best helper for enemies”?
So, what exactly are her combat mechanics like? Her fourth basic attack, resonance skill, and resonance release can all apply a Wind Erosion effect on enemies. Her Encore skill is an “advanced tagging” skill that increases the Wind Erosion effect on enemies by 100%. As for her Resonance Circuit, it’s essentially an “enemy gathering point,” allowing her to group enemies together and let her teammates perform multi-segment attacks easily. This is more than just considerate; it’s a “blessing” for her team.
Now that we know about her abilities, how do we cultivate this “gentle killer”? Let’s dive into the details.
First, let’s talk about skill upgrades. As a character who balances support and damage, Summer Sky’s skill upgrades require attention to the following points:
Resonance Release: Five stars, maxed out. This is her primary damage method and the key skill for tagging enemies. It’s the foundation of her becoming the “Damage Queen.”
Resonance Circuit: Three stars. This skill lets enemies “gather,” making it easier for teammates to perform multi-segment attacks. In short, it makes enemies easier to hit.
Basic Attack: Two stars. While her damage mainly comes from skills, basic attacks are still essential. After all, even for a damage character, basic attacks are a “staple.”
Resonance Skill: Two stars. This skill assists teammates and boosts the team’s overall combat power. It’s a reflection of her “thoughtfulness.”
Encore Skill: One star. While important, its priority can be lower since it’s mainly a support skill. It’s her “babysitting-level” skill.
Next, let’s look at weapon choices. As a damage character, Summer Sky needs weapons with high critical hit stats. Below are some recommended weapons:
Exclusive Weapon – The Lullaby of the Woods (5-star): Base attack of 500 with a 36% critical hit rate. The weapon effect increases attack by 12%, and after applying Wind Erosion, her Anemo damage increases by 24%. This is practically a “divine weapon” tailor-made for her.
Alternative Weapon – Still Smoke (5-star): Base attack of 588 with a 24.3% critical hit rate. The weapon effect increases resonance efficiency by 12.8%, and after using Encore, the attack of incoming characters is boosted by 10%. This is Summer Sky’s “trusted assistant.”
Dance of Death (5-star): Base attack of 500 with 72% critical damage. The weapon effect increases attack by 12%, and when using the Variance skill or Resonance Release, her resonance skill damage is increased by 48%. This is Summer Sky’s “ultimate weapon.”
