Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Slow Poise and Bleed slash attacker

A decent kit held back by speed. Her Poise gain and Bleed on hit are fine, and her third skill can hit very hard once the target has 6+ Bleed. But with speed 2 to 5 she is often hit before she acts, and she can lose her turn to a Stagger. She shines most next to a Bleed partner in abnormality fights.

Worth pulling?: optional
Uptie: Only worth it if she is a core piece of a Bleed team, since the speed problem stays at every level.

How to play

Build Poise with Sharpened Blade and Scattering Slash while stacking Bleed on the target. Once the target has 6+ Bleed and you hold enough Poise, fire Sky-clearing Cut for the big crit hit. At 5+ Poise your counters turn into the same strong skill, so defending can be a real attack. Protect her from free hits, because she cannot act if she is Staggered first.

+Strong abnormality damage with a Bleed partner
+Her third skill and counter can hit very hard at high Poise and Bleed
+Self-sufficient Poise and Bleed generation

−Very slow, often loses her turn to a Stagger
−Weak in human fights where everyone hits at random
−Fatal to blunt damage
