Character Analysis
Chen (Cherry Blossom) was released on September 1st 2023 on "Festival Prayer: Purrfect Bakeneko.” For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Living in a lost village known as Mayohiga is a bakeneko who just so happens to be the shikigami of a shikigami of a significant gap youkai, although the gap youkai is a rather sleepy one at that. On her own and greatly distanced from her shikigami, this bakeneko isn’t the strongest unfortunately, but when that distance is gone, she can claw away her foes much easier! But how will this version of Chen adapt to this strange world without knowing where to find a fluffy fox or dazzlingly beautiful lady close to her? Hopefully it won’t be a paw time for her, especially when it comes to water!
A7 Chen is a Technical-Class Friend who can gain Spirit Power rather frequently, has great CRIT ATK/CRIT DEF support and can actually hold her own decently well with the help of her low cooldown Skills.
As a Attacker
- Can do 30% more damage if her bullets’ elements are resisted by any target(s). Available elements are Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood.
- All 3 Skills increase her Spirit Power by 0.60. Skill 3 grants it to the team too, as well as Spell Card 1’s Post-ATK granting 0.80 of it also to the team.
- Yin ATK buffs gained via Spell Card 2 and Last Word Pre-ATKs.
- Yin DEF debuffs on enemies via Skill 2 and on a few bullet lines.
- CRIT ATK buffs when Grazing as well as team buffs via Skill 3 and Last Word Pre-ATK.
- CRIT DEF debuffs against enemies through all Spell Card and Last Word Pre-ATKs as well as various bullet lines.
- Some Accuracy buffs gained via bullet lines.
- Takes advantage of Slice Scaling, with 2 Last Word bullet lines having 100% Scaling.
- Killers include Shrine Maiden, Magician, Maid, Incident Resolver, Shikigami, Beast, Beast Youkai, Cat, Human and Youkai Mountain.
As a Utility
- Freeze anomalies are inflicted against either 1 enemy or multiple enemies. Skill 2 inflicts 4 of them to an enemy, whereas Spell Card 1 Pre-ATK inflicts 2-3 of them to all enemies. These are broken via All-Targeting Spell Card 1 (3P), Solo-Targeting Spell Card 2 (2P) and her Last Word (3P).
- Can also break Burn anomalies via Last Word (2P).
- Benefits from Burn and Freeze anomalies inflicted on her by buffing her Agility, Accuracy and Evasion. Can inflict 2 Freeze anomalies to the whole party.
- Can gain 2 Barriers after using her Spell Card 2.
- Takes 30% less damage from humans via Passive 1.
Story Card Recommendations
(Card recommendations last updated on August 31, 2023)
Spell Card
A7 Chen will definitely need more Accuracy and Yin ATK buffs to really ensure her damage stays strong and sharp (as her claws), and on top of that, perhaps a little Spirit Power wouldn’t hurt too. Speaking of Sharp, if A7 Chen’s relevant buffs are covered, you can always look to buff her Spell Card power by putting in some Sharp Bullet boosting Cards. There is actually a perfect fit when it comes to her first Spell Card due to it being completely Wood and Sharp…

Last Word
Incident Shrine
Stand-In Shrine Maiden
Beach Sanshoku Geidontei
Choose an Animal Spirit
Eating Contest
A7 Chen’s Last Word is Body, making a card that boosts the power of Body bullets the purrfect pick for this slot. These cards include Incident Shrine, Stand-In Shrine Maiden, Beach Sanshoku Geidontei and Choose an Animal Spirit. There is also Eating Contest too since that boosts it by 45% if the rest aren’t available to you, but the big four of Body Bullet Boosters mentioned above are the recommended ones.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
All of A7 Chen’s Skills not only have 0.60 Spirit Power to gain but also have their cooldowns reduced by 2 turns when going from Level 1 to Level 10. First up is Memory Cleanup. Despite the Freeze anomalies to the team being uncertain in terms of being a pro or con, the Party CRIT ATK buffs and Party Spirit Power are very much worthwhile here, finishing at a rather short 3 turns. Next up is Overclock, really piling up those Freeze anomalies inflicted on a specific target, while also weakening the Yin DEF of her enemies. Last up is Simple Procedure, which as the name suggests, is a simple skill compared to the rest, only having 0.60 Spirit Power, but can be used every other turn when leveled up!
Character Strengths
Generally Self-Sustainable
Whether it be her low cooldowns in her Skills as well as her consistent supply of Spirit Power as a result of it, or her decent mix of CRIT ATK buffs and CRIT DEF debuffs as well as even able to maintain any anomaly buffs on herself by being able to gain Barriers via a Spell Card, A7 Chen definitely has what it takes to survive and keep piling on both buffs and debuffs.
Surprisingly Decent in some Areas of Suppawt
Not only does A7 Chen have quick ways to gain Spirit Power, but both Skill 3 and Spell Card 1 grant the team 0.60 and 0.80 Spirit Power respectively! In addition, CRIT ATK buffs can even be be gained through Skill 3 as well as on her Last Word’s Pre-ATK, and in some cases, her debuffing potential in the form of Yin DEF and CRIT DEF debuffs, especially the latter, can definitely be taken advantage of rather well!
Character Weaknesses
Somewhat Awkward with Accuracy and Yin ATK Buffs
While technically A7 Chen does have her own Accuracy and Yin ATK buffs appearing in her kit, what makes it awkward is that her Accuracy buffs are either available via various bullet lines, or through her Ability to inflict herself with Freeze anomalies (via Skill 3) thus increasing her Accuracy. In terms of Yin ATK, she has them on Spell Card 2 and Last Word Pre-ATKs which make this a little more manageable, not to mention that additional Yin DEF debuff potential. Conveniently enough, a certain kitsune mistress that this bakeneko looks up Supports her greatly when it comes to making up for these buffs!
