• Capitalizing on the benefits given by Azure Lance, this Shigure build can go a couple of different routes depending on whether the player wishes to focus on a bit more of a supportive lean versus capitalizing on the offensive boosts that Shigure gets from his weapon while leaving the support to the innate effect of his refined weapon. Regardless of which way the build leans towards, an Atk or Spd asset should be taken to boost Shigure’s offensive stats further. A Res flaw is recommended as realistically Shigure will be using his low Res stat the least of all his stats.
• The choice between a positional Assist Skill such as Reposition, or a Rally Skill is up to player preference as both Assist Skill types can be used to proc the supportive effects of refined Azure Lance. As Azure Lance already gives Attack and Speed boosts, if a Rally is chosen then Rally Def/Res+ is recommended to give Shigure the ability to buff Def and Res as well.
• Moonbow and Luna are good Special options that can give Shigure a boost to his damage output, with Moonbow being an option with a short cooldown for good consistency of activation, while Luna can be saved when some extra power is needed.
• While an Atk and Spd boosting A Passive is a no brainer, there is a bit more thought required when it comes to the B Passive of choice. On a budget, Spd/Def Snag and Atk/Def Snag make good options that synergize with Shigure’s Azure Lance, being able to add debuffs to his repertoire of support. These Skills are available cheaply through the Heroic Grail units Hatari Deen and Spring Luthier respectively. Dive-Bomb is a Skill option that gives Shigure the ability to attack twice in a row before his opponent can strike, which can be excellent for preserving Shigure’s HP and not having to worry about his relatively mediocre defensive stats compared to his offensive stats. Shigure even packs a bit of healing via Azure Lance, so he can potentially heal himself back to Dive-Bomb’s effective range. S/D Near Trace is another option worth considering, giving not only an in combat debuff on the opponent but also allowing Shigure the chance to reposition himself after combat or using an Assist Skill.
• For the C Passive, Def or Res Tactic are recommended to use in order to give Shigure extra buffing potential if a movement Assist Skill is taken over a Rally Skill. Otherwise, Rein Skills such as Atk/Spd Rein or Spd/Def Rein are good options as well, with the former giving Shigure a little more effective bulk while the latter gives him some more damage output.
• If a Tactic is chosen as the C Passive, then the opposite Tactic can be utilized in the Sacred Seal Slot to round out Shigure’s stat buffing potential. The Blade Session Sacred Seal is another option worth considering with its ability to give a significant Atk and Spd boost with a relatively easy to activate condition.
