The Most Ridiculed And Misunderstood Support In Zenless Zone Zero

[@KetteiThe7th_]

Apologies on the audio towards the end, Idk why it got lowered on the export of the video

[@Hasan43453]

Can you fix it and upload it again it's a great vedio 🤔

[@ZicZZ311]

When food is included

[@alfriesmacdonalds5879]

Is food included *

[@suwooshi]

when it's work time

[@Second_Logic]

Thanks for the shoutout Kettei! I recently started making videos to show Soukaku's potential which was not often covered by content creators and I'm glad you're also helping to spread the word. I hope all characters in the game can get similar attention and not just the flavor of the month meta characters.

[@KetteiThe7th_]

heck yea bro! would love to chat with ya sometimes, join the discord homie

[@netherremains]

I didn't know Soukaku's parry could go into her Flag. GOOD TO KNOW! I always thought I had to use her skill for it. This should make my Miyabi, Lycaon, and Soukaku team even smoother. Thanks!

[@horizon-life75]

I have to say this is the first time I've ever heard about the hold BA after def assist for quick assist Tnx man! As a sokaku enjoyer i do appreciate your guide 🙏

[@Tompico]

I love soukaku. Never understood the hate for her. She’s such a solid support that fits into her niche super well. Currently on a freedom blues build for mono ice miyabi cause my Nicole and Lucy took the good crit astral voice pieces 💀

[@GobooBlack]

Soukaku always been ready

[@theSixPathsOfTrains]

Oh yeah. 👉😏👉

[@WouldULose]

We finally got that soukaku guide!!!

[@arturvieira9991]

I didn't even know she was underrated. Thank you for the build info.

[@BlitZKaiZer12]

my dumba*s first thought soukaku was main DPS(because of cool oni girl) so I paired her with Lycaon and Rina team

[@ddd8828]

soukaku IS a maindps :p

[@RAN_52]

I can't emphasize enough how most Tekken BGM suits ZZZ style XD. Great choice on Heihachi dojo theme since Section 6 has that japanese theme.

[@Ateaotoko]

finally that soukaku guide🤣

[@MintPicking]

1:32 best part of the video

[@Bsuperboss]

SOUKAKU READY!

[@naneyezgani]

Yesss! I use Soukaku with my Miyabi since I'm still pretty new to the game and dont have many characters but didnt really know how to optimize her as much as I could. Thanks for the guide!

[@0DeathTheKid15]

I did not know the instant quick swap when you did a defence assist 😮 Thank you ❤

[@LycorisLilyP]

I was always a foodie believer, but when I saw a homie solo the new Engame dancer with Soukaku I became a foodie knower

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

a much needed guide for my most used Support for the past month

[@クリスチャン-s3y]

Thanks for the guide my glorious king! I can now build my soukaku without hesitation

[@zell8957]

I'm one of those who calls her Slowkaku 1. You didn't even address the allegations that She is slow. Like "Why did they call her Slowkaku?" You just ignored it and proceeds to show a disc drive, w-engine and team comp guide. 2. Yes, her buffs are pretty strong, but that only applies to 1 agent. You also need 3 stacks to maximize its effect. To enjoy her buffs, you need to plan the things to address her slowness. Unlike Nicole, Lucy and Rina, you only tap and switch and it's done. I know she has a strong buffs, but she's still slow

[@KetteiThe7th_]

@@zell8957 she can buff 2 carries at a time if u got to the tips and tricks section, also her damage out out is great so it makes up for her being 3-4 seconds slower on buffs, but you also have to apply her buff significantly less than other supports cause of the buff duration, so I don’t see you point here, and yes u can easily keep the 1k attack both on both teammates easily Also if u use her ultimate you get full stacks immediately

[@zell8957]

@KetteiThe7th_ Yeah, You didn't get the point. You simply explaining how the rotation works for her is simply "You need a plan to enjoy her buffs". Yes, her buffs last that long, but applying that is still slow. And again, unlike other support, you only tap. Soukaku just complicate things And yes, I was wrong with the 1 only buff agent take.

[@fooooooooooooooddd]

My cute hungry demon can't be this dangerous

[@spiderbhyd3]

Soukaku supremacy

[@spektacles1927]

I always knew Soukaku had a valued place on Ice teams, this video solidifies that

[@kknighta855]

Hello, I’ve been using Soukaku for a while and this whole time, I had no idea that she could do an instant Quick assist. Thank you for the tip.

[@zephyrderg]

Glad to know my time levelling up and farming mats for Soukaku was well spent

[@kevin-uz7mo]

Surprisingly tekken music kinda fits in zenless

[@caseynawrocki5412]

Ty for this video it gave me a Soukaku build outline to fix some things I had her with Ellen & Lycaon now with Miyabi & Yanagi

[@justmatrix3402]

I love using Soukaku! When utilizing her, I try to defensive assist when gaining stacks or when planting her flag or fan down. In Lost void I her use a lot with Soukaku and Ellen all on one team and she works pretty well as long as you know how to use the parry defensively and dodge or use Miyabi's max stack charged basic attack to stagger the enemy withouth shield to give her time to then quick assist into the next agent. Since all characters have their ultimates now she can deal even more damage and stagger enemies to then quick assist into the next agent. She does take a bit more managing for a support unit and understanding of the mechanics of the game, but that's what I like about her!

[@gps069]

I never thought I'd see the most gentlemanly bangboo in my life in youtube HAHAHAHA great work on the vid

[@pvp_xguy7870]

I have become extremely cautious on chain attacks in the past couple of months because of soukaku giving her buff to the wrong person(example: ellen soukaku and rina/nicole, I'd accidentally throw the 1k attack buff on rina/nicole by mistake), I'm a little surprised if there are people who have played long enough that don't know about it. very very useful though

[@YojimboBlade]

Banger vid. Too many players assume A-ranks are always weaker than S-ranks. Little do they know how good they are, especially in ZZZ where reactions and improv is a huge factor, unlike Honkai where most of the skill is in team planning.

[@edogawamugen8709]

Ever since I touched Soukaku, she has never left my teams. She's just too darn good.

[@Aktzin]

Soukaku was sitting in a corner for the longest time for me. Because I skipped Ellen initially, I had no good teams for either Lycaon or Soukaku. Figured I was better off waiting for another ice DPS since I wasn't really interested in Ellen and I already had teams that worked for me. Glad I waited, because now I have so much team variety that I can just push myself to get better times/scores in Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault with whatever teams I can assemble.

[@LyndiusFEH]

I definitely need to adjust my build for skk after seeing this. And my goodness I did not know that you can hold the attack from parry but man the rotations and all this changes a lot. Great video as usual 😊

[@thomasnguyen4427]

True "Soukaku koku daiyo!" Thanks to this little Munchkin, I was able to, in my own surprise, get full stars on Deadly Assault with just her & Mimi. Her Buffs are that strong, in addition to activating Mimi's busted ass additional core. Alas, due to existing in 1.0 as the meta support for Ellen, I believe many accounts had only had her partially, or not even built at all, stuck at extremely low levels versus Shiyu's then max lvl 60 Elites. So the users felt that her relative "slowness", when compounded by lack of investment, made the prospect of utilizing her for on-field time even more repulsive. oh nice, he also realized it. Now all my level 60s are DPS units ;)

[@deviant315l6]

4:29 I have been spreading the word on this in a lot of comment sections around KZbin since 1.0 but it just gets ignored

[@QuasarDragonD]

Pre built Soukaku for Miyabi. Along with Yanagi, team is complete and only thing left is switching her over to the Astral Voice set

[@bagelswithcheeze7352]

tekkens OST fits well with your video, keep up the great content :D

[@iDroiD-zzz]

GOAT support that deserves a GOAT guide from the GOAT himself!

[@gespy796]

been using Soukaku day one since i got lucky with Ellen and her w-engine the only tech that i haven't known is holding attack after defense assist will definitely build astral voice on her, thanks for the tips

[@JusticeTaskForce]

Realest guide ever, got her to lvl 60 before Ellen

[@RA_Lestari]

finally.... good point on her last long buff (believe me or not, this often get ignored)

[@ThorsShadow]

Yesterday I farmed some enhanced mats for Harumasa's passive skill (not the boss mat, but that purple one). Using Miyabi, Yanagi, Soukaku. Switching to Soukaku to do her buff and then kill the elite with Miyabi. The enemy didn't have a lot of health left but I certainly didn't think Soukaku would straight up smack the guy up. And my Soukaku isn't even built well (basically just got 3k attack but not much else in terms of damage stats).

[@fish5612]

wait wait wait, you can trigger quick assist through her defense assist? I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THAT, WHAT THE HELL!!!!, cheers for this W info ket

[@thorveim1174]

Soukaku's only real issue I feel is thatwhile her EX and fly the flag cant be interrupted, she stil takes damage as normal during them. it means that using these abilities can be REALLY costly against bosses that attack without much pause, especially in high level content where a solid hit will take a third of your health bar away. Stil, the buff is so potent ans lasts so long that it definitely feels worth it, and allows your DPS more uninterrupted field time than other supports (and as pointed while her setup is longer than, say, Rina, she deals decent damage herself since you stack a assive heap of damage on her to maximize her buff anyway). I play ice teams so she is a natural fit, but if she wasnt, I'd likely wish there was a Soukaku of other elements. also with her ult, its an easy wat to gain a ful stack banner buff while skipping her setup, perfect if you need a fresh buff but she has 0 stacks and not enough energy to build them all up

[@FruitJuice1009]

Sokaku was finally ready

[@fiftydashfour]

Ye Soukaku is great. She has decent base anomaly mastery too. So I put anomaly buildup on disk 6 so she can trigger disorder from Miyabi frostburn. Which is a huge disorder since Miyabi frostburn debuff lasts so long. Her disorder buildup is pretty fast if you use EX / dash attack 2nd. Also nice pointing out the buff duration. I didn't realize how much better it was than others. My only other support is Nicole.

[@fooooooooooooooddd]

one time i got her to deal 300k disorder, i was so shocked i don't even know how to trigger that again lol

[@AweDude77]

dude I was using her today in the new deadly assault and was getting crazy disorders with miyabi even without am disc 6, I was caught so off gaurd

[@noah509]

I dont think its actually an ideal thing to do, as taking the quick assist right away is faster, but you can actually trigger Soukaku's follow up attack after her fly the flag buff and still catch the quick assist, and pass the buff. It's a really long attack that does tons of hits, so if you build Soukaku really well, MAYBE it's worth it??? I have no clue but it's very fun to do. You can get a lot of end of fight splash screens with Soukaku and your DPS if you use it often.

[@softcritter7330]

Her follow up attack does little damage compared to just cancel to dash - n3 and this is still within the quick assist window

[@KahlevN]

@@softcritter7330yeah, unfortunately the modifiers on her follow up attacks is so low you even skip it when playing her as DPS.

[@noah509]

@@KahlevN I figured. Thanks

[@stizzo135]

I mostly just use her as a buff machine like other supports. I haven't really done much to get her DPS online, but Miyabi does so much damage it hasn't mattered yet.

[@okMuzzy]

the slowkaku situation is crazy

[@JujuShinobi]

There was hate for her? As slow as she can be to get her buff off, her damage output is pretty respectable especially if you build crit on her once you've reached the ATK threshold for her buff. She also applies a surprising amount of Daze and Ice Anomaly. Honestly seems like a skill issue. Thanks for the vid

[@RurouniHiro]

Yeah, saying this before watching the video. I cannot get the hang of using soukaku. Mechanically she is a bit cumbersome to start up with her. But once I got her up, using her with wolf butler was amazing. Though I do say I need to build her better.

[@nonameguy155]

soukaku was considered OP for 1k atk buff total when ellen first released now she's just soild support, but i understand your point...

[@LCastle-tm8gx]

Iirc, the only other character that can do this is Caesar

[@kkacehstrive]

Nice tekken music buddy. Subs!

[@danialyousaf6456]

I actually built her up first and yeah, she's pretty strong. Though I do wish there was some sort of in game gacha mechanic where if you have already gotten 6 copies of a Character you'd stop getting more of em lol.

[@KingDarkness100]

I'm playing since 1.1 and I have never recharged Energy with Polychromes and still have 11 Characters Lvl. 60 with Lvl. 60 W-Engines and all of them have their Core Skill on F and I still have 4 more Characters on Lvl. 55 with Lvl. 50 Engines and Core Skill E and all of them haev the right Disc Drives. I'm currently building my new Rina, I seriously don't know what people are doing with their daily Energy lmao and yes one of them Lvl. 60 is Soukaku indeed I love using her!

[@luvaanima]

I really like Soukaku and since I got Ellen and Miyabi, she always was on one Team :3 I have to farm the new astral set tho... But even without....I don't know how the game calculate the points at the end of a match, then Soukaku got mvp here and there...And when not, not that far off..Against chars like Jane, Ellen and Miyabi XD And that she gets her own ulti makes her even better. My favorite "tec" is, when you got three stacks in a bossfight (buff did run out or about to) and chain attack and hold special is far off and to risky. You can trigger that with her ult :3

[@shadowstar37]

Funnily enough before miyabi came out i use her to help clear stuff and team i use was anby and Nicole

[@fortex900]

Where were this video 3 weeks ago when I need it 😂

[@AccelBurner]

To me Soukaku is the equivalent on Bennett but for Ice Team Like remember when people started to call him useless in 1.0 for not being a DPS but they knew his true value, he skyrocketed in a lot of teams I guess story repeat itself for Soukaku and her viability will still be lasting as long the game will release Ice Hyper carry like Miyabi until we'll get a S agent that support ice.

[@sirottovonbismarck6776]

Honestly, I didn't build her in the beginning because mechanically, I lack the skill to understand her combos and rotation. Maybe I'll finally build later down the line once my DPS' are maxed out (mostly because my Soukaku is maxed out on dupes)

[@kalfkeith5646]

They see Soukaku crit build then they build support then sees it's not as strong =w=

[@chito2701]

as a F2P soukaku is still one of the better free 2 play support options that you can have in the game.

[@Ben-ly9fg]

I only have ellen as a ice DPS, and since then shokaku never left that team, she may no have the best disk, but is noticible her suport and damage when i tried to replace her.

[@dragonxyzgaming]

When the food included is crack (yall better use her now)

[@bruhat_patra]

2:43 WTF she really shaved chucks of hp bars

[@mayas1643]

Damn my only problem with her was her taking ages to build the vortex stacks and i didn't know abt the quick assist and the buff can be passed through the whole team

[@KrymsonVerse]

Step 1: Randomly get Lycaon. Step 2: Pull for Ellen on first banner. Step 3: Ignore the Soukaku haters and Fly the Flag, baby!

[@thederp9309]

GOATkaku

[@joustingknight2088]

shes ready

[@IsekaiDadGamer]

She is very good to use

[@ObliviousNaga]

This was really helpful info

[@Kakume-sr4kh]

If I'm being honest, Soukaku Is such a great support, even outside of ice. Nicole Is personally the worst support. Her buffs last so little time and you have to plan that at the stun time for effective damage and If your not fast enough, the buff Is gone and you have to take more time applying It again and I know her mindscapes are pretty good but It still stands. Also, Nekomata Is the worst attacker and It sucks to say too. I tried Corin Instead and Corin did significantly more dps. Hail to the chainsaw shredder

[@Dathore324]

YEEEESSSSS! FINALLY I KNOW THE TECH!

[@kezif]

When i played miaybi + soukaku vs bringers my soukaku somehow got 2 fold more points than miyabi

[@DeswaraAssan]

The music could not be louder 😂😂

[@FlamingM]

Soukaku Ready!

[@qae]

peakaku the best support

[@rannydragon]

this video is so well done but i got one thing to say, the music is often too loud and kinda makes your voice harder to hear, keep up the good work!

[@rizqizen4528]

Great guide, but can u lower the bgm? She's my 1st m6w6 alongside with lucy

[@PoyoPoyomfs]

I just came back on 1.3 so my only dps is literally Miyabi m2 and harumasa xd, yanagi is basically a stack generator now.

[@dumbcowboi8803]

Sokaku is 2nd best support imo because she gives 1000 damage which is alot. Reason why she is second is because Caesar also does that and gives shield too

[@KetteiThe7th_]

its more than just her buffing, skk damage output as a support is crazy good

[@BasicallyRat]

4:25 is a very helpful tip didn't know it can QA will do this later thanks so much!

as a soukaku enjoyer i never get why she is a low tier I always favor her on many of my team build 500 atk buff is quite nut

[@Bashbuddies]

Is not worth it for the Tower. Trust me.

[@ecka1628]

Back then, She's the only ice dps agent i have. Oc i build her 😂 idk what shes doing i dont read, she's ice, blue and cute!!! Sorry..i mean, there's ice weakness stage on stable node right? and we need 2 teams. I forgot which one, but i build soukaku for that stage

[@sevadra]

she's just so baller

[@derptothemaxclearly]

You have to lower your music, it makes it super hard to hear you! It got really rough when you had the gameplay going.

[@Ybasd]

[@simplearthling]

good info but background music is too loud and distracting.

[@KetteiThe7th_]

made a pin comment about it

[@mohandxx060]

that defensive into quick assist is really good, i didn't know about that even though i am a day one player. is she the only support who can do this?

[@KetteiThe7th_]

Yes

She’s only slow if you’re slow 🙂‍↕️

[@reckcityyyt5807]

am a new player. started from 1.4 i play miyabi main ( reached 80 crit ) and am not even lvl 60 yet( agent lvl ) . together with haramusa and soukaku. i dont know if this build is good or not. but am absolutely destroying everything without getting dmg. i eat ice buff noodles. and soukaku buff. i agree she is slow. but i only use like 2 attacks with her and get back to miyabi xD

[@60sto80s2]

Bruh before miyabi hit i beat shiyu 7 with crit soukaku 2.9k attack , 56% Cr 112.4% CD 4 ice fang 2 woodpecker electro
