Overview

In contrast to Wands’ typical spell-slinging nature, Seimei can be played one of two different ways. The first is shikigami-focused, largely ignoring Skill usage and constantly channeling Force Strikes to sustain a level two shikigami. The second is a more supportive role, leaning more towards burst and utility. Most notably, his shared skill is easy to use and comes loaded with unconditional debuffs. If nothing else, his unique Co-ability is a powerful teambuilding option for those who missed Megaman’s event.

Strengths

Sustained Damage

As a Wand user without a Skill Damage Co-ability, it’s safe to assume that CyGames intended for Seimei’s kit to focus on maintaining shikigami uptime. A combination of Gala Leonidas and Laxi's kits, both Seimei and his bird summon are content to stand in place and consistently chip away at bosses

High Utility

Skill 2 offers a smorgasbord of burst damage, DEF reduction, Scorchrend, and dispel. Additionally, a 20% Max HP shield allows Seimei to shrug off chip damage and continue Force Striking without worry.

Weaknesses

Shikigami Level 2 Stacking

In order to reap the benefits of a leveled up shikigami with either playstyle, the summon must consistently hit the target. This may prove difficult with mobile / disappearing bosses like Volk. This also makes Skill 2 dispel far less accessible.

Low Scorchrend Uptime

Seimei cannot single handedly enable Scorchrent Punisher loadouts, as his Scorchrend is tied to his Skill 2.

Dragon Recommendations

Gozu Tenno

Gala Mars

Arctos

Gozu Tenno pairs perfectly with Seimei’s unique Force Strike

Gala Mars and his raw STR are a close second.

Dreadking Rathalos synergizes with Seimei’s unique Force Strike-heavy playstyle.

Arctos: Shikigami hits can Crit, and its high frequency scales well with Crit loadouts.

Skills

Skill 1

Onmyoji Incantation
Lvl 1	If the user does not have an active flame shikigami: summons a flame shikigami for 40 seconds. If the user has an active flame shikigami: grants the user a one-use shield that nullifies damage up to 10% of the user's maximum HP. This shield does not stack with any other shields of the same type. The flame shikigami will automatically attack foes, but each attack will deplete the user's shikigami gauge. Once the flame shikigami's attacks hit enemies 15 times, it will level up to level two. Upon leveling up, its 40-second timer will reset, and its attacks will deal more damage. In addition, its attacks will reduce enemies' defense by 10% for 10 seconds. This defense reduction will not stack, and the shikigami's automatic damage will not be treated as skill damage.	100
