“I will take you to hell. If that's what it takes to burn and cut through the Nursefathers… Then yes, I will gladly become a bottomless pit for you to cast down every ugly secret you would rather forget and never see surfaced again. So come. There in its depths… await all of me from every path, waiting with our blades drawn to cut down all of you.”

Mirror Dungeon tier

Solo burst damage dealer and raid boss

A seasonal capstone Ryoshu who turns into a berserker by killing her own House of Spiders allies. Every kill gives her Entanglement, a new buff and extra skill slots, and her Phantom Trace passive adds free unopposed hits. Gameplay footage shows her deleting bosses in a single turn, so she reads as one of the strongest picks in the game.

Worth pulling?
must pull
Uptie
Her kit does not hide behind Uptie levels the way most identities do. The footage shows the raw kit already wiping fights, so go for Uptie IV when you can, but do not delay using her.

How to play

Run as many House of Spiders identities as you can so her Entanglement cap rises. Use her defense skill to kill off the allies one by one, since each death grants a buff and a skill slot. Keep Phantom Trace targets in mind: base skills against them trigger Inevitable Termination first. Once Dihui Star's Blade is full, her enhanced skill 3 comes up, and Rend Space - Echoshear is the big finisher that resets Entanglement.

  • +Gains skill slots and buffs by killing House of Spiders allies
  • +Phantom Trace gives free unopposed attacks with unbreakable coins
  • +Survives a lethal hit once per encounter
  • +Mass Burn and Bleed activation on her skill 3
  • −Needs House of Spiders allies in the loadout to reach full power
  • −Complex kit with several enhanced skill conditions

FAQ

Is Blade of the House of Spiders Ryoshu good?
Yes. Reviewers and gameplay footage show her one-turning bosses and clearing the Mirror Dungeon with ease. Her kill-your-allies mechanic gives her extra skill slots and stacking buffs.
Does Blade of the House of Spiders Ryoshu need a full House of Spiders team?
She wants it. Her Entanglement cap goes up for every 3 House of Spiders identities in the loadout, and her ally-kill buffs only work on those identities.
