An A-tier support character with ice-infused slash damage is Soukaku. Her weaponry focuses on providing her teammates with attack bonuses and fast swapping capabilities. She can provide both ice and physical damage.

Which W-Engines from Soukaku are the best?
Bashful Demon, Soukaku's characteristic A-Rank W-Engine, is a fantastic fit for her. because every time you perform an EX special strike, it boosts her ice damage and gives your squad an attack boost.

Which drive discs work best with Soukaku?
We advise giving Soukaku a four-piece Hormone Punk outfit. for a strong attack boost and
a pair of Polar Metal to boost her ability to do ice damage. Another option is

You may offer Soukaku the whole set along with two pieces of Polar Metal if no other agent in your team is running Swing Jazz. to boost her ice damage and get access to the potent team-wide damage bonus.
Of course, as we continue to play with Soukaku and her equipment, this information might alter.
