	A highly versatile and mobile **Shikai**, perfect for hit-and-run tactics and crowd control. • **Z:** Manifests ice underfoot, allowing for skating and freezing opponents on contact. • **X:** Unleashes an ice pillar at the cursor's location. • **C:** Summons an ice dragon that crashes down at the cursor's location. • **Ultimate:** Charges energy before unleashing a freeze effect on surrounding enemies.
	A strong offensive **Shikai** best used at a distance. Easy to learn, but mastering it takes skill. • **Z:** Transforms petals into a projectile sword that returns after hitting multiple enemies. • **X:** Unleashes a burst of petals, launching opponents into the air. • **C:** Creates a petal tornado. • **Ultimate:** Summons petals that lift opponents into the air.
