Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Polar Metal (4pc) — Ice DMG Bonus is her core buff stat.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Bashful Demon (Signature) — increases Ice DMG Bonus buff strength significantly. F2P: Kaboom the Cannon or any ATK-boosting A-rank W-Engine — she does not need her signature to buffer effectively.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Best: Soukaku + Hoshimi Miyabi + Burnice (Miyabi main DPS; Burnice off-field Fire Disorder; Soukaku Ice buff)
Budget Ice: Soukaku + Ellen Joe + Anby Demara (fully F2P team — all standard/A-rank)
F2P Verdict
Soukaku is A-rank — available from any A-rank pool banner and signal search. No limited pulls required ever.
Her signature W-Engine adds to her buff output but is not required. Any ATK W-Engine makes her a functional buffer.
She is the single best F2P support pull for any player building an Ice or Disorder team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Soukaku so important for Miyabi?
Miyabi's damage scales heavily with Ice DMG Bonus, and Soukaku provides the largest Ice DMG% buff in the game. The Section 6 faction bonus also activates with Miyabi, granting additional Anomaly Proficiency. Prydwen calls the Miyabi+Soukaku+Piper team the strongest expert team in ZZZ.
Is Soukaku hard to obtain?
No — she is an A-rank available from the standard pull pool at any time. Every player eventually gets multiple copies just from regular pulls.
Can Soukaku work outside Ice teams?
Her Ice DMG Bonus buff only affects Ice DMG, so she is dedicated to Ice and Disorder teams. Outside of Ice, Nicole Demara or Lucy provide more universal buffing.
