Yuki
Expand
Yuki refers to snow, ice crystals that mostly fall in the winter. Apparently, Yuyuko altered this temperament herself. Perhaps she was overlaying her own experience as a ghost and an incident where the snow stayed long past its time... Yuyuko is endowed with Water Phase, the temperament of the dead, and Moon Essence, from her aloof personality.

The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.

The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.

Character Ability

Capable of manipulating death
Expand
A simple yet terrifying ability that allows Yuyuko to unilaterally end the life of her target, be they a human or a youkai. However, she has never been seen using this power. It also does not work on immortals like the people of Hourai. Incidentally, she had a different ability when she was still alive.
Immune to Barrier Status: Poison. When attacked with Poison, Spirit Power 0.20 UP.
When using Boost, own Yang ATK 1 level UP (1 turn).

Character Analysis

Yuyuko Saigyouji was released on May 11th, 2021, at first limited in the game's first 72-Hour Limited Prayer and then later geting her own Prayer via "Festival Prayer: Dance of the Butterfly." 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 Discord Official Discord Server.

The ghostly princess of the Netherworld, Yuyuko Saigyouji is dead and loving it. A carefree, playful glutton who tends to make bizarre statements, it can be easy to mistake her for something of a fool. However, underneath the playful demeanor lies a cunning mind that little can get past. She’s no enemy to make lightly either, possessing the ability to manipulate departed spirits and invite any living being to death, either causing them to fall into slumber or simply perish on the spot. This terrifying ability is reflected in LostWord with her strong offensive potential, being a unquestionably powerful selfish damage dealer.

For farming, Yuyuko is very strong at blitzing through multi-target stages, but suffers a bit when it comes to mono-target stages. You can remedy this to a extent by giving her an extra turn first to set up with Spirit Power UP using either Spell Card, which will nearly double her output. For harder fights, Yuyuko is no slouch either. Her Last Word scales extremely well with additional power, dealing nearly double the damage at 3 Points. Her skill 3 giving her Charge means she can work with just about any debuffer without problem. She even has pretty alright access to Elements, having 1 Wood break on both of her Spell Cards without any boosts - though if you want a second Break in a turn, it'll cost a whopping 3 Power.

Her only weakness is that she brings no team utility to the table, which is hard to complain about when she simply does so much damage. The high recoil on her Last Word may seem like a weakness too, but it’s rather irrelevant - Last Words locking out all spells on use means Yuyuko is functionally dead after using it in the first place, meaning her remaining health value afterwards is irrelevant.

Here are the chances for Yuyuko’s secondary effects, alongside her Hard and Slicing scaling (per bullet):
Saigyouji Parinirvana:
Rebound 15%/15%/0%/15%/15%/0%
Hard 0%/50%/0%/50%/0%/0%
Slicing 50%/0%/0%/0%/50%/0%

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on October 31, 2022)

Spell Card

Yuyuko typically prefers Spirit Power UP on her Story Cards - she already boosts her own Yang ATK, so Spirit Power is useful both for farming (where the extra Bullets can be a huge help), for Arena (for extra damage), and for Tower (for Breaks). Alternatively, Accuracy UP will help her Breaks land. Lastly, for a stat stick, look for Story Cards with Yang ATK.

Last Word

Due to the overwhelming amount of Yang ATK UP already present on Yuyuko’s Last Word, alongside her abundance of Accuracy UP, she would benefit further in story cards which debuffs her enemies' YANG DEF and boost the power of her Wood bullets, Body bullets, or both. This is because Yang ATK UP is worth less the more of it you have, as each stage is additive with the last. Meanwhile, YANG DEF DOWN debuffs and effects which boost the damage of specific types of bullets are effectively multiplicative in relation with YANG ATK UP buffs.

Thus, giving her Myouren Temple Anniversary, Protection of Cerpinus or Sporadically Marget are by far her best options, as they fulfill one of the criteria which ramps up her damage.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

First, get Under the Flowers to level 5 for the 2 levels of accuracy up it provides, and then get Spirit Service up to 9 to ensure that it gives 3 levels of Yang ATK UP. After that, further skill levels are luxury until Yuyuko gets a Fantasy Rebirth.

Character Strengths

+ Powerful Last Word, dealing quite high damage at 1 Power and scaling tremendously at 3.
+ Relatively strong event farmer
+ Self Charge on Skill 3 means she works well with any supporter

Character Weaknesses

- No utility
- Only brings Wood element and lacks many elemental bullets nowadays
- Fell off hard with the introduction of many stronger Friends
