Why Should You Farm This Card?

Mysterious Sword Master

The Mysterious Sword Master (5* Story Card from the end of Main Story Chapter 3 Part 1 on Lunatic) has the pre-attack effect of 50% Slash Bullet UP and 2 ACC UP at Max Limit Break. These effects enable it to typically be the best in slot card for units that have Slash bullet type on their Last Word, such as the four Youmu variants, three Sakuya variants, Suika, Koakuma, and many more. The 50% Slash Bullet UP is powerful due to its incredibly high percentage increase, unmatched by all but a few cards. 2 ACC UP is also very important, as it allows all units mentioned to have perfect accuracy even without any other buffs. In terms of being a stat stick, it has the benefit of giving both YIN and YANG ATK +75, which is universally strong for any damage dealer.

    •
  • During the Boss Wave, one boost is enough to kill both Cirno and Lily, you don’t need to force it to boost twice (you cannot consistently get 2P on the last wave anyway). Do not graze as she will lose out on a considerable amount of damage.
