Playstyle and Key Mechanics
Slokai deals mostly Physical damage through [Nero], a [Mech Unit]. Her kit revolves around stacking [Pressure] on all enemies, which increases the Final DMG they take, and applying physical status effects like [Rend], [Slash], [Puncture] and [Energy Devour].
Main Cards:
Her first card is [Rock Breaker], a 2-cost card where [Nero] launches 2 [Rock Breaker Drills]. Each drill hits a random enemy 3 times, dealing Physical DMG and inflicting [Rend], [Energy Devour] and [Ricochet] in sequence. Afterward, it generates 1 [Puncture Drone] in your hand.
Next card is [Pressure], a 3-cost card where [Nero] releases a [Pressure Shockwave] that reduces nearby enemies' [Energy] by 7% and deals Physical DMG. She draws 1 card, prioritizing a Blue or Red one. For each Cost that card requires, she inflicts 1 [Pressure] stack on all enemies, up to 7 stacks for 28 secs. Each stack deals DMG to the target once and increases their Final DMG taken by 3.5%.
Then her Ultimate [Howl of Mechanical God] where [Nero] launches [Hyperaggregate·Spiral Blast Drill], dealing Physical DMG over 7 hits to all enemies and inflicting [Rend], [Slash], [Puncture] and [Energy Devour].
Derivative:
[Puncture Drone] - [Nero] launches 2 [Puncture Drone Drills] that [Penetrate] enemies, each dealing DMG to all enemies over 3 hits and inflicting [Rend], [Ignite] and [Puncture] in sequence.
Investment
Slokai's base copy already has her core kit, so Awakenings mainly scale her damage and add utility. Awakening 1 as main damage boosts, and A2 gives her extra drill damage for every 2+ Cost Red, Blue or Purple card played.
Awakening 1 - Whenever an Ally inflicts [Rend], [Slash], [Pierce], [Corrode] or [Energy Devour], she increases her ATK%
Awakening 2 - For each 2+ Cost Red, Blue or Purple card used, randomly launch 1 [Rock Breaker Drill] or [Puncture Drone Drill].
Awakening 4 - When taking DMG, deploy [Aegis of Mechanical God] that reduces all allies' DMG taken by 49% for 7 secs and can be triggered once every 14 secs.
Awakening 5 - For each [Pressure] stack, deal 7% more Final DMG.
Resonance
Resonance 1 — Her landed hits have a 7% chance to inflict [Etch], excluding hits from status effects.
Resonance 2 — There's always 1 [Pressure] among the first 5 hand cards at the start of battle. Whenever [Energy Devour] is triggered, gain more cost per [Pressure] stack and deal an additional hit.
Resonance 4 — Heal self for 7% of own DMG dealt, and healing received this way can exceed Max HP, up to 390%. When taking DMG, deal Physical DMG to the target for 70% of her own Max HP.
Resonance 5 — When obtaining 7 cards after the deck is reshuffled, immediately activate the [Leader Skill] or [Howl of Mechanical God], and increase her ATK and DEF by 49, which can be activated up to 3 times.
