Is Heishou Pack Mao Branch Outis good?

Yes. She is one of the best Rupture burst options for single bosses, thanks to Strider Haste and Deathrite Haste. She struggles outside of short boss fights.

Is Mao Branch Outis better than Mao Branch Ryoshu?

Outis is the stronger overall pick. Ryoshu has the better skill 1 but weaker E.G.O synergy, while Outis fuels Sunshower and Ebony Stem well.

Which E.G.O should I use on Mao Branch Outis?

Ebony Stem is the best, turning her count neutral skills positive and applying Gluttony fragility. Sunshower gives her a strong emergency clash and Bind, and Pathos Mathos is a minor extra.

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Rupture burst damage dealer for boss fights

A very fast Rupture identity that gets Haste from her counter and reaches 10 speed on turn two. Her Gluttony counter keeps her Rupture count neutral and gives her Strider, so her speed-based coin reuses and extra damage trigger reliably. She is the weaker of the two Mao Branch identities, but still excellent for bursting down a single boss, and she is free from the event shop.

Worth pulling?: good pull
Uptie: Uptie IV is worth it if she is a staple in your Rupture team, since higher base values help her clash while she is frail. It does not change how the kit works.

How to play

Use her counter whenever you lack Strider and are not planning skill 3, since it gives three Strider, extends the Gluttony chain and is Rupture count neutral. Aim to use skill 3 by turn two once she is at 10 speed, ideally as an unopposed attack, for Deathrite Haste, extra count and the big last-coin roll. Skill 2 is count positive and tops up Haste. Be careful with skill 1, which can ruin your stack in a bad rotation. She is frail, so never let her get hit if you can avoid it.

+Strider gives five Haste, so she hits 10 speed from turn two
+Gluttony counter extends the chain and stays count neutral
+Skill 3 is one of the strongest hits in the game
+Fuels Sunshower and Ebony Stem easily

−Very low HP and defense
−Skill 1 can hurt Rupture count in a bad rotation
−Best only in short single-boss fights
