Is Blade Lineage Salsu Yi Sang good?

Yes at Uptie IV. Early on he felt mediocre, but the later boost to coin rolls made him one of the more consistent launch identities. He is best in a Poise or Blade Lineage team.

Is Blade Lineage Yi Sang worth using in Mirror Dungeon?

Yes. A solo hard run with him went through the Dungeon with good clash power, though he has no self heal early and struggles with Pierce skills.

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Poise damage dealer, free starter

The free launch identity looked mediocre at first, but Uptie IV fixed his weak coin rolls. His passive adds up to 3 Coin Power from Poise Count, which makes him roll better than most 3-star identities. He makes just enough Poise to keep that passive running and shines most in a full Blade Lineage team.

Worth pulling?: good pull
Uptie: Yes. Uptie IV is what turns his bad coin rolls into strong ones, mostly through the Coin Power passive.

How to play

Open with Heel Turn to build Poise Count, then spend Flank Thrust and Striker's Stance while your Count stays high. Win clashes to refuel his passive. Use the defense counter when you cannot attack safely.
