Character 1: Hiyuki — The Icy Shrine Maiden Main DPS

What makes her design particularly compelling is her dual-form playstyle. As the first Ice main DPS released more than a year after Carlotta — and also an anniversary character — Hiyuki has already generated massive anticipation within the community. Steam Community
