Character Analysis
Yatsuhashi Tsukumo was released on October 12th, 2021 in "Prayer: Sister String Duet." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
Yatsuhashi Tsukumo, the Tsukumogami of an Aged Koto, is a pretty simple youkai. She’s what’s known as a tsukumogami youkai - they’re sentient objects, born when an item manages to survive for a hundred years. Typically, at least - she and her sister were born when a magical storm overtook Gensokyo (play Double Dealing Character if you want to learn more!), resulting in the birth of new tsukumogami. At first, she wanted to overthrow society, but now she and her sister simply pass their days playing their instruments.
For farming purposes, Yatsuhashi isn’t really ideal. Her Last Word deals little damage in a one turn environment due to her lack of buffs and a 1-3-1 layout. You’ll want to look elsewhere.
For harder fights, Yatsuhashi has some useful support, but it’s all undermined by various detriments. Her second skill, Kumiuta: Ogi no Kyoku, gives some Yin & Yang ATK UP - but only 1 level (with a 50% chance for 1 more) of each, and only for 2 turns. Her All targeting Last Word, Koto Tree Hill, does the same, only with a 80% chance for another level - and with not much damage either unless you give her some time to set up (there’s some slicing on it, but not much). It also unfortunately doesn’t do a lot of damage, and it’s somewhat mixed to boot making it harder than normal to scale. And lastly, her Breaks are generally poor, with both Spell Cards having 1/1/2 Wood Breaks for 0/1/2 Spirit Power - she at least gets 4 Wood and 2 Sun All targeting breaks at 3 Power on her Last Word, which is decent though not quite as good as a layout as you'd want. Koto Sign: Sounds of Anicca's Koto at least provides some Spirit Power on use, though that’s of limited use with her poor break potential.
Overall, Yatsuhashi can give some ATK UP to your team, and it’s not like she’s a detriment, but she just isn’t all that great. She’s merely a koto, after-all!
Her Slice values on Koto Tree Hill are 0%/0%/0%/0%/50%/50%.
Story Card Recommendations
Spell Card
If for some reason you need to squeeze out extra Breaks no matter what, Spirit Power UP is a reasonable option on Yatsuhashi. Otherwise, her best option is Yang ATK UP. For stat sticks, look to Yang & Yin ATK, favoring Yang ATK if you can’t get both.
Last Word
Yatsuhashi's best option is The Secret God of the Sky, which provides her a massive amount of Heavy DMG UP. If for some reason you’re trying to farm with her, you can use Accuracy UP if she can knock out the enemy without ATK UP support.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
Kumiuta: Ogi no Kyoku is her only real skill of note - it’s only a 50% chance for another level of ATK UP at skill level 10, but that’s better than nothing. Her other two skills are rather lackluster, though you can at least get some Barrier Breaks with Kumiuta: Kumoi no Kyoku if you have a Friend who can Break Blind Barriers (though it’s arguable if this is even worth bringing Yatsuhashi for, as it’s only 2 layers on a single target).
Character Strengths
+Decent teamwide ATK UP
Character Weaknesses
-Below average Breaks
-Low damage
