Snowshine's Skill Priority
Snowshine's Combo Skill is the highest priority, as it is the source of her HP Treatment (Healing) she can provide recover, which scales quite heavily with levels. Following that, her Ultimate Frigid Snowfield takes priority due to its boosts to both explosion damage and the Damage over Time. Following these two skills, you can invest more into her Basic Attack and Skill, which offers the lowest benefit of her abilities, although the multiplier scaling is quite large - but she is typically not played as a DPS.
How to Play Snowshine
Snowshine is a great all round operator that has access to a lot of really good verbs in her kit. She has the ability to act as a battery generating SP through her battle skill while also inflicting Cryo infliction, as well as acting as an emergency sustain and buffer with HP Treatment and damage resist granted through her Combo Skill with the right build. She can even apply solidification Solo with her ultimate. how she’s played changes with what teams she’s used in and which role you want her to fill.
