• Preferred IV: +ATK / -RES

• Weapon: Brave Bow+

• Assist: Draw Back / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Glimmer

• Passive A: Death Blow

• Passive B: Chill Def / Swordbreaker

• Passive C: Even Atk Wave / Odd Atk Wave / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Attack +3

The Brave Bow is a strong offensive weapon and Takumi can make very nice use of it.

With his middling Speed, going for a quad setup can be tricky without relying on breaker skills, so instead, it is advised to maximize his Attack instead to defeat the opponent in his first volley. For this, an Attack asset is definitely advised. Any asset can work well, with Resistance being the typical best option, though anything other than an Attack flaw will be fine. His Assist is completely open for whatever one wants. Draw Back is a nice choice for ranged units in general, but anything such as Reposition or a Dual Rally will work fine. As for his Special, either Moonbow or Glimmer can work here thanks to their low 2 charge cooldown which will synergize well with the Sacred Seal choice.

Takumi’s passives are all about maximizing his damage output. Death Blow is the easy choice for an A slot, giving Takumi a massive Attack boost when initiating combat. It is not necessary to have Death Blow 4 for this build to work, Death Blow 3 will suffice. Chill Def will help Takumi against high Defense targets by giving the enemy with the highest Defense a substantial Defense debuff. Swordbreaker is a good cheap alternative that will help him against faster Sword units such as Ayra and Legendary Marth. Having either of the Atk Wave skills will help Takumi to increase his Attack without team support. This is absolutely not a necessity though, the C slot remains a flexible slot choice overall. Finally, Heavy Blade in the Sacred Seal slot allows Takumi to utilize either Moonbow or Glimmer every round of combat should he have higher Attack than his opponent, giving him a substantial increase in effectiveness. A simple Attack Seal also works well if the Heavy Blade Seal is unavailable.

• Preferred IV: +SPD or +ATK / -HP or -DEF or -RES

• Weapon: Firesweep Bow+

• Assist: Draw Back / Flexible

• Special: Moonbow / Luna  

• Passive A: Life and Death

• Passive B: Chill Spd / Chill Def / Swordbreaker

• Passive C: Even Spd Wave / Even Atk Wave / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Flashing Blade / Heavy Blade / Speed +3

Even with his middling offenses, Takumi can run a Firesweep Bow fairly well.

The Firesweep Bow is a powerful weapon that blocks enemy counterattacks, though at the cost of the user not being able to counterattack either. Takumi will want either an Attack or Speed asset to help boost his offensive capabilities. Since Firesweep blocks enemy attacks, a flaw in any of the defensive stats will be fine. The Assist slot is completely open, with Draw Back being a safe general option for ranged units. Moonbow works great as a Special thanks to its low cooldown which gives it synergy with the Flashing Blade Sacred Seal, but Luna is also a good choice.

For the A slot, Life and Death is a solid choice which provides a large offensive boost with the drawback of a large defensive boost. As the Firesweep Bow blocks counterattacks regardless, the defensive loss is hardly an issue. Chill skills work great with the Firesweep Bow where skills like Desperation are not needed. Chill Spd, in particular, helps Takumi to secure follow-up attacks against faster foes while Chill Def helps Takumi against tankier enemies. Swordbreaker is a decent budget alternative that guarantees double attacks against fast sword users such as Ayra and Legendary Marth.

A Wave skill such as Even Spd Wave or Even Atk Wave will help Takumi to increase his own offensive potential without any need for support. These skills are not necessary but are beneficial. Outside of this, the C slot is open to whatever your team needs the most. There’s no definitive right option here. Flashing Blade as the Sacred Seal grants additional Special charge whenever Takumi outspeeds his opponent. This is great with Moonbow as it’ll allow Takumi to use it every round of combat so long as he keeps outspeeding his opponents. Heavy Blade has the same effect but activates based off of if Takumi has more Attack than his opponent. A simple Speed Seal is also a nice option to help Takumi secure follow-up attacks.

• Preferred Nature: +SPD or +ATK / -RES

• Weapon: Fujin Yumi (+Eff)

• Assist: Draw Back / Flexible

• Special: Luna / Moonbow

• Passive A: Atk/Spd Bond / Swift Sparrow / Close Counter

• Passive B: Escape Route / Wings of Mercy

• Passive C: Drive Spd / Threaten Spd / Flexible

• Sacred Seal: Speed +3 / Attack +3

A rather gimmicky set designed to make the most of the Fujin Yumi’s new Grimoire effect, making Takumi into a very mobile unit.

The Fujin Yumi’s special forge allows him to teleport next to any unit within 2 spaces if he is above 50% HP, the same effect as Halloween Nowi’s Grimoire Tome. This also comes with the ability to pass through forests as if they were open tiles when above 50% HP. When used in combination with Escape Route, Takumi will be able to teleport next to units within 2 spaces when above 50% HP and then able to teleport next to any unit regardless of distance when below 50% HP, giving him extreme mobility.

Takumi will benefit the most from either an Attack or Speed asset, helping with his offensive capabilities. A Resistance flaw is recommended as it’ll not have a large impact on his performance. Any Assist can work fine, with Draw Back being a nice choice for most ranged units. As for his Special, Luna is a solid option that helps Takumi to deal with high Defense opponents. Moonbow is another strong option thanks to its low cooldown.

Atk/Spd bond will boost Takumi’s offensive capabilities. Since he will most likely be teleporting adjacent to an ally to attack, he makes great use of this skill. Swift Sparrow provides a similar power boost on Player Phase but also doesn't require an adjacent ally. His default Close Counter also works as a budget option, allowing him to retaliate at melee range. Wings of Mercy could also be used as an alternative to Escape Route, but this skill does rely on Takumi’s allies being damaged. The C slot is incredibly flexible. Since he'll likely be always near his allies, he can make great use of Drive skills such as Drive Spd in order to boost his allies. Threaten Spd is his default C slot, but it is only a possible option because of that. To top everything off, a simple Speed or Attack Sacred Seal helps with Takumi's offensive potential.
