Snowshine can perform well in teams that can utilize her Solidification application, such as Shatter teams. However, her kit relies on enemy behavior to maximize, with her healing and Cryo Infliction tied to enemies attacking the controlled Operator.

Best Gear and Gear Sets for Each Character
Snowshine is a sustain character that can apply Cryo Infliction and Solidification through her Battle Skill and Ultimate, respectively. She is a good support for Shatter teams.
You get the most damage by using her talents in this order:
Snowshine's Battle Skill, Saturated Defense, grants Protection to nearby allies and refunds some SP. Getting attacked while Snowshine's shield is up will apply Cryo Infliction on the enemy. This is great for setting up Solidification.
Snowshine will also regen some Ultimate Energy when she retaliates with her shield, thanks to her SAR Professional Talent.
Snowshine's Ultimate consistently applies Solidification to enemies, so it's good to use as a window to deal massive damage through Shatter.
Lastly, Snowshine's Combo Skill will instantly heal an ally, then continuously heal all allies nearby when the Controlled Operator drops below 60% HP.
| Priority | Skill | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Combo Skill | Upgrade this first to maximize Snowshine's healing |
| 2 | Ultimate | Level this second to boost its damage dealt, but is not a priority as it is primarily used for the Solidification. |
| 3 | Battle Skill | Can be leveled third for the damage, but is not a priority. |
| - | Basic Attack | Upgrade this last, but can be left unupgraded if Snowshine is limited to the Support role. |
| Priority | Talent | Explanation |

Snowshine is a Search and Rescue (SAR) specialist under Rhodes Island and is currently assigned to Endfield Industries. Her specialization in polar and high-altitude regions often leaves her busy as both her expertise and talent are in demand.

Aurora as seen in Arknights
Notably, her appearance shares distinct similarities with the operator Aurora in Arknights. It is currently unknown if they are the same person under a different codename or separate entities entirely.
