Soukaku Skill Priority

Soukaku is a pure support character whose main job is to boost allies’ ATK and provide consistent damage through her Special Attack. Prioritise upgrading her Core Skill and Special Attack first, then her Chain Attack if you have extra resources. Basic Attack, Dodge and Assist are low‑priority because they contribute little to her support role.

SkillPriorityExplanation
core_skillcore skill
Soukaku’s Core Skill, Blade Banner, raises her ATK when she launches Fly the Flag and can pass that buff to teammates. It also boosts squad Ice damage when Vortex is consumed. Since the ATK buff scales with Core Skill level, it should be upgraded before any other talent.
special_attackspecial attack
Special Attack (Cooling Bento, Fanning Mosquitoes, Rally!) is Soukaku’s main damage source and the trigger for her ATK buff. Upgrading it first maximises both damage output and the strength of the ATK buff.
chain_attackchain attack
Chain Attack (Pudding Slash, Jumbo Pudding Slash) delivers high damage and can wipe small enemies. It is useful but secondary to Core Skill and Special Attack, so upgrade it after those.
basic_attackbasic attack
Basic Attack only deals a few physical hits and is rarely used by Soukaku. As a support unit, it offers minimal benefit, so it can be ignored.
dodgedodge
Soukaku spends little time on the field and her Special Attack keeps her safe. The dodge skill provides negligible advantage and can be left unupgraded.
assistassist
Assist only adds a small damage boost and is not essential for Soukaku’s support role. It can be omitted.
