Passive Abilities
To master a Character, it's crucial to study their skills and passives. Now, what's unique about Kukik's abilities and passives?
As a Spec-Ops Character, Kukik's passives are extremely powerful. Once incorporated into a team, a Falcon will be summoned to assist in combat. The Falcon will attack enemies automatically, and when teammates cast multiple skills or unleash their ultimate skills, the Falcon will trigger a brute strike.
Furthermore, both of Kukik's skills revolve around the Tactical Falcon. Skill 1 comes with control effects, while the ultimate skill leaves a damage boost mark—both are excellent support skills. Additionally, in terms of debuff damage, Kukik provides significant bonuses. Both his passive and talent enhance debuff damage; when his talent is activated and he is enraged, his skill casting will substantially increase the team's ATK. Thus, in terms of ATK and damage boosts, Kukik is the expert.
Falcon Forms
Based on the pros' analysis, Kukik's most distinct ability is the Tactical Falcon that follows and aids in combat. Additionally, the Tactical Falcon has several different attack forms.
Observations show that Kukik's Falcon has three forms. The regular form is its initial state, launching only 1 single feather per attack with relatively low damage.
To enhance the Falcon's attack, there are two methods: either Kukik releases his skill 1, or team members use skills multiple times or unleash their ultimate skills. These two methods activate different Falcon forms. Generally, when other Characters in the team release skills 3 times in total or when Kukik releases Skill 1 in a normal state, it will activate the Falcon's second form, which not only has faster RoF, but also launches 2 feathers per attack.
At this time, the Falcon becomes larger, and each attack launches 3 feathers, significantly increasing its damage.
Understanding the three forms of the Tactical Falcon helps us to maximize Falcon damage using skill combinations. For example, both phases of Trevor's Slashing Kick can accumulate the skill counts, and Scarlett's three Perfect Return of Serves can directly activate the Falcon's brute strike. There are many similar skill combinations for you to explore.
Weapons and Lineups
Once fully familiar with Kukik's specialties, it's time to discuss lineups and weapon combinations.
Kukik is very versatile in both weapon and lineup aspects. He can perfectly fill any role. Kukik can be equipped with any weapon to compensate for any Debuffs that your team lacks. Whether it's HMG, sniper rifle, or Freeze Gun; they all perform excellently with Kukik. For Cores, I recommend those that provide Debuff DMG Bonus. Use 4 Conga Cores paired with 2 Joint Operation 2 Cores, allowing Kukik to continually pass Debuff DMG Bonus to the team even when he is off the field.
In terms of team combinations, Kukik can fit with almost all Characters. Since he can summon a Tactical Falcon to join the combat, it's like having an extra DPS Character. Additionally, Kukik's Tearing Mark provides a vulnerability effect, offering a great boost to all Firepower Characters.
As for the third Character, I'll choose Tarma, who provides the Summons DMG Bonus effect. After activating his talent and summoning a mecha with the ultimate skill, Tarma grants Summons DMG Bonus to all Characters in range, perfectly fitting this lineup.
Combat Tips
You must have been inspired by the recommended combinations. Besides, here are some combat tips to share.
Once Kukik is part of the team, using the Tactical Falcon's auto-attacks to clear mobs feels incredibly satisfying. For tougher elite enemies, Kukik can use his ultimate skill to mark them and boost damage, greatly improving efficiency.
In the Hot Pursuit, Kukik also performs well, especially when facing tough stages. Whether it's the Tearing Mark or the Debuff DMG Bonus, they both help take down the powerful bosses faster. Try to deploy Kukik as the first Character to enter the battlefield, releasing skills before switching to a Firepower Character to maximize damage boost.
Of course, Kukik's performance is also commendable in the Prime Showdown. The Falcon's brute strikes are perfect for finishing off opponents, and his Skill 1, Animal Spirit, has control effects. If you mark an opponent with the ultimate skill and then immediately switch to a Burst Character like Trevor, instant kills are entirely possible.
