Whiteshadow arts
Whiteshadow has seven arts. Frozen is its base art, Deepening Frost is its Tempering art, and White Shadow’s Frosthowl is a Power Surge art that costs 1 Sha-Chi Essence. The other four unlock as you raise the weapon’s level.
| Art | Unlocks | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Deepening Frost | Tempering art | “Attacks still build the enemy’s Frozen Gauge even when blocked.” |
| Frozen | Base art | “Hits inflict Chill and build the enemy’s Frozen Gauge. When the gauge is full, the enemy becomes Frozen.” |
| White Shadow’s Frosthowl | Power Surge art (costs 1 Sha-Chi Essence) | “[Power Surge] Consumes 1 Sha-Chi Essence to unleash a flurry of long-blade slashes that fills the air with white shadows. When the attack ends, enemies hit are guaranteed to become Frozen.” |
| Frost Strike | Weapon level 5 | “Press [Block]+[Heavy Attack] to quickly strike an enemy with the back of the blade and briefly imbue the weapon with frost. The next attack greatly builds the enemy’s Frozen Gauge.” |
| Piercing Cold | Weapon level 10 | “Lv. 1: Slightly increases Frozen buildup rate. Lv. 2: Moderately increases Frozen buildup rate. Lv. 3: Greatly increases Frozen buildup rate.” |
| Frost Convergence | Weapon level 15 | “Using [Frost Strike] restores Sha-Chi.” |
| Frostspike Finisher | Weapon level 25 | “Press [Heavy Attack] to dash to a nearby Frozen enemy and deal damage.” |
The level-gated arts come online through the forge, and the forge and weapon upgrades breakdown shows how to raise a weapon’s level.
What Whiteshadow is good for
Whiteshadow uses Frost. Its strikes apply Chill and raise an opponent’s Frozen Gauge, while Deepening Frost continues raising the gauge through an enemy’s block. White Shadow’s Frosthowl guarantees that enemies struck are Frozen when the attack finishes.
At weapon level 5, Frost Strike briefly imbues the blade with frost so your next attack greatly builds the Frozen Gauge. At weapon level 25, Frostspike Finisher lets you dash to a nearby Frozen enemy and deal damage.
Freezing Chaos is another weapon with a Frost form. For other options, there are rundowns of the best weapons early on and how to increase damage.
