In the increasingly diversified combat system of “Zero”, the appearance of Hoshimaya is like throwing a frost blade, breaking the single pattern of “one skill to hit” of traditional output characters. She does not rely on instantaneous burst, but by continuously stacking abnormal states and frost points, she guides the battle to a controllable, predictable, and precisely designed “ice and fire progressive cycle”. This system takes into account both burst and endurance, and has strong strategic value.
This development guide aims to deeply analyze the combat logic of Hoshimaya, from mechanism cognition to equipment construction, from operation rhythm to team coordination, and strives to make every player who owns her truly master her cold weapon.

### 1. Skill system: Using abnormality as a blade to create precise rhythm
Hoshimaya’s output system is divided into two dimensions: one is the construction of the “abnormal chain”, that is, creating abnormal pressure through ice and fire states; the other is the output realization of “Frost Accumulation Slash”, that is, converting accumulated points into large-scale damage. These two dimensions are driven alternately, allowing her to continuously create threats on the battlefield.
* **Normal attack**: Not only a basic output tool, but also the main source of frost.
* **Special skill**: A two-stage attack mechanism that quickly triggers ice and fire on the one hand, and creates additional frost points on the other.
* **Sword drawing skill (Frost Moon Stance)**: After the frost is full, you can press and hold the normal attack to enter the sword drawing and charging, which is her highest output source.
* **Final skill**: Adjust the enemy’s abnormal level distribution and strengthen your own attack rhythm; break the balance on the field.
* **Talent mechanism**: Automatically apply abnormalities, increase the probability of sword drawing triggering, and give her powerful abnormal linkage value.
Key point: Hoshimi Ya’s sword drawing is not instant, but “delayed accumulation”, so the control of rhythm and the allocation of resources are the core technical barriers to using her.

### 2. Skill upgrade priority: Focus on key output links
Hoshimi Ya is different from the character who “suppresses the whole field with one skill”. Her skills are intertwined and mutually premised. Therefore, skill upgrades should be constructed based on the dual-core system of “slashing + abnormality”:
1. **Normal attack = special skill**
→ Prioritize upgrades, core construction points and abnormality sources.
2. **Final skill**
→ Secondary upgrade, determines abnormal redistribution and output burst at critical moments.
3. **Linking skill**
→ Used for coordinated attacks, suitable for combo release in high-difficulty dungeons.
4. **Support skill / dodge skill**
→ Improve survival or output continuity, and can be strengthened if resources allow.
Hoshimaya’s skills are not for a single powerful attack, but for building an “output cycle”, and each skill plays a role in the chain.

### 3. Audio Engine Analysis: The Engine Heart of the Output Structure
Audio Engine not only provides panel data, but also determines the output form of Hoshimaya.
#### ★ Preferred Audio Engine: Click on the Falling Star Palace (exclusive)
* Provides extremely high critical hit rate (24%), basic attack 743;
* Special effects add abnormal mastery and multi-stage output enhancement, which is a perfect weapon for Hoshimiya;
* Can accelerate the speed of drawing the sword and charging, and improve the efficiency of abnormal handling.
#### ★ Alternative Audio Engine:
1. **Chimeric Compiler**
* Provides abnormal mastery, suitable for abnormal team linkage;
* Skill release triggers the stacking mechanism, suitable for high-frequency operation players.
2. **Twin Crying Star**
* When the enemy frequently enters the abnormal state, you can quickly stack attribute mastery;
* Suitable for teaming with Yuecheng Liu and Bernice.
3. **Electric Shock Lip Color**
* Aimed at specific dungeons and bosses, more functional.
Matching principle: Exclusive priority; if missing, choose whether to stack critical hit rate or abnormal mastery according to tactical play.

### 4. Drive disk combination: Accumulate power for Frost Moon and create an output gravitational field
According to the construction goals, it can be divided into two categories:
#### [A] Main C single-core construction:
* **Combination: 4 pieces of Broken Branch Sword Song + 2 pieces of Woodpecker Electronic Music**
* Provides high critical strikes and critical damage, suitable for use when Hoshimi Miyabi is the only output core of the team;
* Optimal in the damage dimension, with clear rhythm.
#### [B] Abnormal linkage construction:
* **Combination: 4 pieces of Polar Heavy Metal + 2 pieces of Woodpecker Electronic Music**
* Strengthen abnormal mastery and abnormal trigger frequency;
* Suitable for double abnormal construction, such as coexistence with Yuecheng Liu/Bernice
#### Suggested item pairing:
* **Main item:**
* No. 4: Critical Hit Rate / Abnormal Mastery
* No. 5: Attack Power / Penetration Rate
* No. 6: Attack Power / Abnormal Control
* **Secondary item priority:**
* Main C build: Critical Hit Rate > Critical Damage > Attack Power > Abnormal Mastery
* Abnormal build: Abnormal Mastery > Attack Power > Critical Hit Rate > Critical Damage
Important note: Abnormal Mastery is not the more the better, and its upper limit of return needs to be determined in combination with the actual frequency of combat.

### 5. Team matching suggestion: Build her Frostfire Concert
#### 【1】Main C team:
* Hoshimi Miyabi + Cangjiao + Qingyi
→ Cangjiao provides energy support, Qingyi helps trigger ice and fire and increase the frequency of damage.
* Hoshimiya + Lekaan + Nicole
→ Lekaan can stably hang abnormalities, and Nicole can provide buffs and endurance.
#### 【2】Abnormal linkage team:
* Hoshimiya + Tsukishiro Ryu + Caesar
→ Abnormal frequency is greatly increased, and Caesar provides burst support.
* Hoshimiya + Bernice + Lucy
→ Bernice assists in freezing, and Lucy gathers monsters, which improves the hit rate of drawing swords.
Principle: The closer Hoshimiya is to the main C position, the higher the control/monster gathering/abnormal application ability required of the other two in the team, and the more dependent on teammates to “build momentum” for it.

### VI. Practical cycle logic: Every knife is not accidental
#### Operation suggestions:
1. Initial stage:
* Use normal attacks/special skills to lay ice and fire;
* Quickly accumulate frost points
2. Mid-game:
* Use finishing moves according to energy conditions to reset abnormal distribution;
* Build a rhythm of sword-drawing and slashing.
3. Ending stage:
* Use frostburn + sword-drawing to instantly slash elites;
* Switch to support position and prepare for the next wave of cycles.
Every sword-drawing is the result of construction. A true Hoshimaya player should control the melody of ice, fire and power accumulation like a conductor, making the frost blade the most beautiful movement on the battlefield.

### VII. Summary: The ice blade is silent, but controls all the directions of the battle
The strength of Hoshimaya does not lie in one-hit kill, but in the preparation and accumulation before each of her swords, in the mutual nesting and connection between her skills, and in whether you understand her complete combat language of “construction → realization → reconstruction”. She is not a “stand-and-shoot main C”, she is a tactical core with structure, logic and rhythm.
To control Hoshimiya, one must not only stack up critical hits and mastery, but also have a plan in mind and control of one’s actions – only in this way can each of her swords hit the crucial moment of the battle.
