Tower of Fantasy has been available since August 11, 2022 and this new game until lets you experience a futuristic open-world adventure with an MMORPG aspect. Your goal is therefore not only to explore the different regions, to complete quests but also to summon characters and improve them. On ToF, the summoning system is a bit special and actually allows you to obtain weapons with various rarity levels: N – R – SR – SRR. Attached to these weapons are characters called Simulacrums only for SR and SSR rarities. Today, we are particularly interested in Tsubasa and his gun Icy Wind Arrow.
Tsubasa: Presentation of the SSR and banners
Tsubasa is part of the permanent banner of the game (obtainable with Golden Nucleus) but you also have a low chance of getting it on the very first temporary banner of the game (Nemesis), which lasts from August 11, 2022 (launch of the game) to August 31, 2022.
- Genre : Feminine
- Cut : 169 cm
- Birthday : March 24 (Aries)

The different skins
If you get Tsubasa’s weapon multiple times, then you can increase his star level. At the end of 3 star level, you get a different skin for the Tsubasa Simulacrum. As a reminder, it is possible to use the weapon without putting on Tsubasa’s appearance.
Favorite gifts to give him
Each SSR character in Tower of Fantasy has a Awakening Level that it is possible to improve by completing the story quest but also by offering him gifts.
- Tsubasa loves Figures, Limited Items and Rare Items
The best gift to give him:

Icy Wind Arrow weapon effect
- Ice Shell : Fully charged weapons freeze the target for 2 seconds and leave them frozen for 6 seconds. Breaking the ice shell deals bonus damage equal to 151.00% ATK. While frozen, the target’s weapon charge rate is reduced by 50%.
How is Tsubasa/Icy Wind Arrow played and with whom/what weapon?
Tsubasa is a DPS which is obviously used from a distance with his bow but which above all allows him to maintain a series of damage buffs over a long period of time. Like Meryl, Tsubasa’s attacks slow and freeze enemies. However, she is much more mobile. With her, you can absolutely create a three-piece team with Nemesis and King, although Nemesis will preferably be played in a duo with another Lightning character.
- Ses points forts : very good ranged damage, buffs and even the ability to heal! However, you will have to summon Tsubasa twice to unlock the Heal.
- Its weak points : only unlocks all its superbness after the second star. Not ideal for beginners.
Progression: How to improve Icy Wind Arrow?
The 6 star levels
Each SR and SSR weapon can progress up to a 6-star level. Initially, your weapon will be at 0 stars and you will therefore have to improve it 6 times to reach the maximum level, but this means that you will have to obtain the same weapon 7 times to improve it.
- 1★: Grants a new stack of Sharp Arrow each time the arrow fired by a dodge attack hits a target. Each stack increases damage by 5% for 15 seconds. Stack up to 3 times.
- 2★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 16%.
- 3★: Launching a dodge attack fires 3 charged arrows.
- 4★: Increases base ATK growth of current weapon by 32%.
- 5★: Doubles the duration of Rain of Arrows and slows targets by 25%.
- 6★: Rain of Arrows stacks up to 5 times. If you hit a target with Charged Arrow you immediately get 3 stacks, and if you headshot you get 5 stacks.
The necessary upgrade materials
In addition to improving the stars of your weapon, you can also strengthen it and increase it up to 4 times. Be careful, this costs materials but also Gold and sometimes requires having the right level of adventure. For Icy Wind Arrow, you will need the following materials:

Recommended matrices
There are only 4 die slots to put on your weapon. A bit like artifacts, the matrices work in sets: the more pieces of the same set you put, the more the set in question grants bonuses. For Tsubasa, it is recommended to put either a 4-piece set of Samir on him in order to complete the DPS and the series of buffs.
To your summons! The great rival of Genshin Impact is released in a global version, and the question of the quality of the heroes or simulacra of ToF is already beginning to arise. If you want to know if your account is cleared and if you have the right characters to advance in the game, it’s here!
