On the Way of Summer Emptiness: Like a Gentle Breeze Between the Murmuring Waves

On the Path of Xiaokong: The Gentle Breeze Between the Tides

Establishing One’s Role and Mastering Unique Abilities
In the world of Tide’s Song, Xiaokong is akin to a gentle breeze that quietly sweeps across the battlefield. Armed with her trusted handgun, she channels her inner energy into aerodynamic forces, distinguishing herself among many characters. As a five-star Resonator, her versatility shines in various roles: she can operate stealthily from the shadows, dealing damage like a secondary DPS, or step forward to support her team by enhancing their abilities. Thus, her position in the team is indispensable, with her unique contributions setting her apart.

Xiaokong’s combat style revolves around utilizing Wind Erosion to incapacitate enemies and amplify the damage they receive. Her fourth basic attack, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Burst all accumulate Wind Erosion effects on enemies, while her Echoing Tune further intensifies this effect, subjecting foes to greater suffering. Additionally, her Resonance Circuit gathers enemies, making it easier for her teammates to land multi-target attacks. As a result, Xiaokong seamlessly transitions between being a formidable damage dealer and a reliable supporter.

Prioritizing Inner Strength and Strategic Deployment
When it comes to cultivating inner strength, Xiaokong’s priorities should follow this principle:
First and foremost, her Resonance Burst should be maxed out, as it forms the foundation of her damage output. Next, her Resonance Circuit is crucial, not only for gathering enemies but also for creating favorable combat conditions for her team. Her basic attacks and Resonance Skill are also vital, serving as the cornerstone of her damage capabilities. Meanwhile, her Echoing Tune, while slightly less critical, still holds value in specific situations and should not be overlooked.

This strategic approach to inner strength reflects an optimized resource allocation mindset, reminiscent of how ancient military strategists deployed their forces.

Weapon Selection and Thoughtful Consideration
When it comes to weapons, Xiaokong’s optimal choice is her signature weapon, “The Melody Between the Trees.” This handgun boasts high base attack power, and its additional effects align perfectly with her combat style: its 36% critical rate meets her output needs, while its weapon effect further enhances her damage against Wind Erosion-affected enemies and reduces their resistance. The synergy between Xiaokong and this weapon is comparable to that of a legendary general and their trusty blade.

For non-signature options, “The Lingering Smoke” is an excellent five-star alternative. With its impressive base attack of 588 and 24.3% critical rate, it fulfills Xiaokong’s basic output requirements. As for four-star weapons, “The Romance of Farewell,” “Paradox Jet,” and “Penetrating Rifle – Type 26” are top choices, each excelling in different combat scenarios.

Resonance Gear Configuration and Tactical Deployment
The selection of Resonance Gear has a crucial impact on Xiaokong’s performance in battle. Here are the primary configurations:
The first is the “Flowing Clouds, Fading Skies” set, the ideal choice for Aero teams. This set enhances both Xiaokong’s Aero damage and the overall Aero output of the team. Its main Resonance Gear, “Resonance Echo – Freydrei,” summons blades that slash through the air, dealing significant Aero damage while further boosting her Aero damage bonus.

The second is the “Light Clouds and Rising Moon” set, a more versatile option suitable for most team compositions. This set improves Resonance efficiency and enhances the effectiveness of Aero attacks, making it a reliable choice for various combat situations.
