Character Analysis
Yuugi Hoshiguma was released on November 26th, 2021 in "Festival Prayer: Bosses of Strength & Subtlety." She was initially a Festival on release and later added to the general pool. For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Official Discord Server.
The Spoken-of Unexplainable Phenomena, Yuugi Hoshiguma is everything you would expect of when you think ‘oni.’ She loves to fight, loves to drink, loves to party, and loves the brave and the strong. Whilst she spends most of her days in the underground with her fellow oni, from time to time she’ll venture up to the surface looking for a good fight.
For farming, Yuugi is decent, thanks to her Solo targeting Last Word Miss Unchained’s 2-1-2 layout and a solid Youkai & Human Killer, combined with a solid amount of Yin and Yang ATK UP. However, it has some major failings - Yuugi’s kit entirely lacks native Accuracy, and the mixed elements upon it leave Yuugi facing resistances more often than usual. To an extent, her character ability can mitigate this, but her somewhat middle-of-the-road damage can only go so far. Auto Replay at least helps out somewhat in this regard, giving her access to her tremendously powerful fifth and sixth bullets in farming situation, though she will have accuracy woes at that point unless you’re willing to spend three turns.
In harder fights, Yuugi’s role is rather much the same - she punches one person with Miss Unchained really hard, especially if they’re a Youkai or Human. She has a major benefit compared to other CRIT attackers in that she brings 2 Levels of CRIT ATK & Accuracy UP for 2 turns to her whole party with her skills - generally though this is better on Killer attackers, who tend to lack CRIT ATK and thus massively benefit from it. In this regard, you can almost consider her a better Hieda no Akyuu. Otherwise, her Breaks are solid, but nothing too special - One-Horned Lightning gives 0P access to All targeting Star on a Basic Shot, Oni Sign: Anomalies, Strength, Disorder, and Spirits grants 2 All targeting Star and Earth Breaks at 3 Spirit Power, Big Four Arcanum: Knock Out In Three Steps provides 2 Solo targeting Metal and Earth Breaks for 2 Spirit Power, and Miss Unchained if you choose to use it for breaks give 3 Solo targeting Metal and Star Breaks for 3 Spirit Power. As mixed Solo targeting attacks can rarely hit more than one weakness, this effectively means two of her spell cards will only have one element most of the time for the sake of Breaking and thus half the listed total number of breaks, albeit with flexibility in who they can target.
Yuugi also has some notable downsides. Her access to self buffs are somewhat lacking, but that’s not a huge issue when her damage output in two turns is sufficient to take down most targets (if somewhat annoyingly prone to whiffing due to her inability to ensure perfect accuracy on Miss Unchained without being given three turns or external accuracy support). She also somewhat lags behind the competition, as it’s very difficult to practically scale her due to a mixed Last Word.
Story Card Recommendations
Spell Card
Yuugi unfortunately wants too much from her Story Cards, due to her reliance on Power, Accuracy, and having a mixed damage Last Word, so you'll have to compromise. For Tower, look to Spirit Power UP, as it gives her the most bang for her buck turn wise - you can also give her Accuracy UP, if a teammate cannot, as well as CRIT or YIN ATK UP to further boost her damage. For Arena, look to Spirit Power UP and CRIT ATK UP, to best take advantage of her front-loaded Spell Cards. Lastly, if you need stat sticks, look to Yin and Yang ATK, favoring Yin if you can’t get both.
Last Word
As Yuugi has no native Accuracy, she pretty much defaults to a Story Card that can provide it, with more being better - as such, a MLB Valued Tools of the Trade is her cheapest option. If you can provide her Accuracy support, be it by the Story Cards on her Spell Cards or her teammates, you can opt for a Body DMG UP card such as Eating Contest for maximum damage.
Character Skill Level Up Recommendations
As Kabukimono gives both herself and Killer friends the highest degree of bonus damage possible, prioritize maxing it out first. Afterwards, Vengeful Spirit Quelling should be raised, and lastly Hoshiguma Dish is rather lackluster and can be saved for when you’re out of other skill targets to raise (or Yuugi gets a Fantasy Rebirth).
Character Strengths
+High damage on a single target with setup time
+P0 Star on a Basic Shot
+CRIT ATK UP support
Character Weaknesses
-Lackluster farmer, even with December 10 update
-Requires setup time, which isn't ideal for Solo targeting attackers
-Can't hit the damage levels that better Solo targeting attackers can
