§ Breakdown [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

Suzu is the core of CD management, and the game isn't simply "breaking" it but forcing it out early to create a window. The rule is to land kill angles like Nano Blade or one-shot combos in the moment Suzu isn't available, so it's used together with a bait. The hardest part is the timing management of not dumping damage into the invuln and instead matching the instant it expires. It's a design that spends one Suzu first to open the window for the next combo or ult; combined with a cleanse bait, the enemy Kiriko loses her function entirely.

When to Use [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

As the bait action before landing Nano Blade or a one-shot combo. When the enemy Kiriko is confirmed to have Suzu up, throwing dummy damage or a light CC first to draw the reaction.

Failure Modes [AI-translated — feedback channel coming soon]

Dumping all your damage into the invuln window and having nothing left once Suzu ends. The bait gets read, Suzu is held, and the real combo is simply answered.
