Release2.0

Goushinnso Memento is Sakura's S-rank MECH-type Ice battlesuit from v2.0: a katana DPS who fills a Kinetic Energy bar with her Basic ATKs and spends it on Zankeki, a combo slash that deals heavy AOE Ice DMG while she ignores interruptions, and whose Ultimate, Frigid Rave, freezes then shatters enemies and refills her energy. She received a PRI-ARM, Frozen Naraka, in v3.4 and still has an Elysian Realm entry with her own signets, where a community guide calls her one of the least gear-dependent battlesuits. With no Astral Ring, she is obsolete in the Superstring Abyss and the Memorial Arena in 9.0.

Ice DPS

Weapons

Frozen Naraka BiS

Her PRI-ARM and the best in slot (BBS, HoYoLAB): +45% Ice DMG, a freezing field with +25% Ice DMG taken, and +200 KE and 4 SP per Glacial Bane hit on her.

Goushinnso Memento's PRI-ARM: a 12s field that freezes enemies and makes them take 25% more Ice DMG, +45% Ice DMG for the wielder, and periodic Glacial Bane hits (on Goushinnso Memento: +200 Kinetic Energy and 4 SP each).

Ice Epiphyllum

Her original signature katana and the base of the PRI-ARM (+200 KE on her). The HoYoLAB guide notes that she makes little use of the weapon active, so any high-ATK katana works in the Elysian Realm.

Goushinnso Memento's original katana: a frigid zone that gives allies inside +40% Ice DMG for 10s, +15% Elemental DMG for the wielder, and periodic Glacial Bane charges (on Goushinnso Memento, +200 Kinetic Energy).

Stat targets

Stigmata affixes: ATK or Ice DMG
Never let KE sit at the cap: turn it into Zankeki ULTRA
Aim for SS rank if you want to play her seriously (Mercy and Iceborn fix her KE flow)

Evasion

Leader

Goushinnso Memento shares part of her skill tree with Shadow Dash. In the Elysian Realm, Blessing of Flourish is the key exclusive signet: it restores KE and Ultimate Evasion attempts and triggers her evasion skill automatically when KE drops below 0 (HoYoLAB, 2022). Owning her also unlocks her Elysian Realm entry and its first-clear Crystal rewards.

Part 1 Ice supports

Goushinnso Memento

Jade Knight

Sugary Starburst

Marisa Impact's Part 1 Ice supports: Jade Knight for Elemental Breach and shield break, Sugary Starburst for buffs and Freeze Trauma. Sugary Starburst is MECH-type, so she also benefits from Goushinnso Memento's leader skill. No Astral Ring: older content only.

Elysian Realm supports

Goushinnso Memento

Vermilion Knight: Eclipse

Azure Empyrea

The HoYoLAB Elysian Realm guide's picks: she is stationary during Zankeki, so Vermilion Knight: Eclipse's gather is very important, and Azure Empyrea adds more gather and Breach. Haxxor Bunny (Ice and Total DMG) or Reverist Calico are alternatives; Lightning Empress only if you lack SP.

Guide

How to play

Kinetic Energy and Zankeki

Her Kinetic Energy (KE) caps at 1,000 and slowly regenerates while she is on the field (from SS rank, 10 KE per second even off the field). Each hit of her 5-sequence Basic ATK (Kansakura) restores 60 KE; SEQ 5 deals 250% ATK of Ice DMG and marks enemies.
Onimusha: +40% Physical and Elemental DMG against marked, stunned, paralyzed, frozen or Time-Slowed enemies.
Hold [ATK] with at least 200 KE for Zankeki ULTRA (Instant Draw): 100% ATK of Physical DMG + 200% ATK of Ice DMG, +300% ATK of Ice DMG with Frost Fang, 1.5 Rime Trauma and 1.5 SP each. Below 200 KE she cannot cast Zankeki ULTRA, and her Combo ATK only deals weak Physical DMG.
Warrior's Pride: Ignore Interrupt and 40% Total DMG Reduction during her Basic and Combo ATKs.

Ultimate

Frigid Rave (125 SP): 900% ATK of Ice DMG with 18 Rime Trauma, then an execute that shatters the ice for 1,200% ATK of Physical DMG. It restores 250 KE at once, then 60 KE every 0.25s for 10s (+600 KE more from SS rank), and Transcendence gives a +30% Total DMG Multiplier for 12s.

Evasion, switch-in and QTE

Her Ultimate Evasion (Clone Step) leaves a White Shadow that explodes for 200% ATK of Ice DMG and restores 120 KE (CD: 12s with Illumination).
Her switch-in triggers an ice explosion, and switch-in and QTE hits restore 205 KE. Her QTE (Freezing Art) triggers on shield break.

Rotation

Cast Frigid Rave as soon as you have 125 SP: Transcendence and a full KE refill.
Spam Zankeki ULTRA while your KE lasts; use Basic ATK SEQ 5 to mark enemies and Ultimate Evasion to recover KE.
Frozen Naraka's active creates a 12s field that freezes enemies and makes them take 25% more Ice DMG; tap the button again once for its Special ATK.

Elysian Realm

Her exclusive signets are Elysia's. The Elysian Realm gives her Iron Body and 80% less damage taken during Combo ATKs, +30% Elemental DMG for 8s after her Ultimate Evasion Skill (one extra attempt, but no White Shadow), and ER-only Deep Freeze stacks (1 per Zankeki, 10 per Ultimate Evasion Skill). A HoYoLAB guide prioritizes Blessing of Flourish and Blessing of Icy Sakura, then Frozen Cloud and Haste, with Sakura's core signets first and Kevin's first core after that.

Leader skill: the team gains 21% Crit Rate above 80% HP, and MECH-type battlesuits gain 36% All Elemental DMG.

Strengths

Zankeki deals big AOE Ice DMG while she ignores interruptions and takes 40% less damage.
Still in the Elysian Realm with exclusive signets and a fluid loop; a HoYoLAB guide calls her one of the least gear-dependent battlesuits there.
Her leader skill gives the team Crit Rate and MECH-type teammates +36% Elemental DMG.
Her best stigmata, Ana Schariac, can be crafted directly in the Foundry (official notes).

Weaknesses

Obsolete in the Superstring Abyss and the Memorial Arena: no Astral Ring, and Marisa Impact considers every War Treasury battlesuit outdated.
She stands still while spamming Zankeki, so she needs a teammate who gathers enemies.
Her smooth KE loop relies on SS rank (Mercy, Iceborn).
Her Ultimate execute deals Physical DMG, so part of her burst does not benefit from her Ice buffs.

Notable dupes · Rank

Solid upgrade

Mercy (10 KE per second even off the field, 30 KE every 0.25s for 10s after her Ultimate), Iceborn (+600 KE on Ultimate) and Energizing Flurry (KE on Basic ATK crits): a much smoother Zankeki loop.

SSS

Optional

Freezing Image: the White Shadow's explosion always inflicts 10 Rime Trauma.
