B

Mirror Dungeon tier

Bleed potency applier, counter damage dealer

A solid Bleed identity that applies a lot of Bleed Potency and stacks several debuffs on the enemy. His counter is the real damage tool, since it can reuse its coin and gets stronger with Kurokumo Clan Captain Ishmael on the field. He is good on his own but will not outdo the top Bleed units.

Worth pulling?
optional
Uptie
Uptie IV is not needed to make him work. It is a minor upgrade, so spend resources elsewhere first.

How to play

Keep another Kurokumo on the team so Dark Cloud Blade stays active. Use Thundercleave as your main attack for huge Bleed Potency and a strong final coin, and Lenticular Rend or Stormcloud for Defense Power Up and extra debuffs. Rely on Rules of the Backstreets, which also fires as an unopposed counter when an ally is hit. Pair him with Ishmael and the counter's coins become unbreakable.

  • +Huge Bleed Potency from skill 3 and his counter
  • +Counter can reuse its coin and hit very hard
  • +Stacks many debuffs on the enemy, helping allies that care about them
  • −Outperformed by dedicated Bleed identities
  • −Needs another Kurokumo ally for his best effects

FAQ

Is Kurokumo Clan Wakashu Heathcliff good?
He is good, particularly as a Bleed Potency source, but not top tier. Specialized Bleed identities beat him at damage or infliction.
Do I need Kurokumo Ishmael for Wakashu Heathcliff?
She makes him much better. Her Dark Cloud buffs and unbreakable counter coins make his counter a strong damage skill, so the two work best as a pair.
