Shinkai/SAOF Arena

"You cannot win, please leave while you can."

- Shinkai Shinkai is a playable character in SAOF Arena.

Background
While exploring a secret dungeon, Shinkai found a portal and activated it. She unintentionally got sucked in and was brought to Paradox's world.

Playstyle
Shinkai is, without a doubt, one of the strongest players in SAOF Arena. As a Machina, she attacks fast, and deals a bunch of damage. Her primary weapons consist of her specially designed bladed assault rifle Iron Maiden and a rotary compactible saw shield with energy spikes and concussive explosion vents, Brazen Bull. Her secondary weapons range from retractable gatling guns to heavy cannons. Her style is fast and flowing, with extremely destructive attacks mixed in. Her character system is the Awakening system. Every time she hits or gets hit, her Awakening bar gets charged. When she gets one level of Awakening charged, she can activate it. Five swords will appear and float close to her back. Awakening overclocks her processors and she gets enhanced analysis of everything happening around her, along with 1.5x damage and 1.5x HP. Her evasion and luck is also increased to almost the max. There are three levels to her Awakening. This mode only lasts for a short while though.
