Should You Pull?
Recommended. Speedsters will get an absolute kick out of Rin. She racks up buffs quickly and efficiently for herself and her team, while providing them with an almost endless source of Spirit P that can be refired every other turn. Her Blind anomaly breaks are fun to play with, and paired up with the right Friends (such as Utsuho (S5) running alongside her), she’s an absolute masterclass in her role as a speedy Yin attack and support. As a bonus, she can dispel Debuffs or Seals applied on her every so often, a trait that is ever useful in challenge content.
Quick Overview
S5 Rin Kaenbyou is a Speed-class Friend who hits fast and heavy, Blinding her opponents while supporting Yin Friends and keeping them safe from harm.
Powerful Yin attacker with Water/Earth, Blind setting and breaking
Rin’s ability to ramp up her Yin ATK and Agility means she can very quickly build up the momentum she needs to wreak havoc on enemy teams, especially when taking into account the Slicing scaling on her Last Word. Healthy element breaks coupled with sources of Blind breaks on almost all her attacks will result in enemy teams very quickly being full broken under her assault.
Good Yin support means her teammates can follow suit while staying guarded
Rin doesn’t have to be the period at the end of your attacking sentence. Feel free to continue the attack with your teammates after providing them with the Yin ATK and Agility they need to crush the enemy. Should battles stretch longer, Rin has several sources of Barrier recovery for her team as well.
Low cooldown on Skill 1 means easy chaining of buffs and constant supply of Spirit P
Rin’s Skill 1 can be refired every 2 Turns, meaning she can reapply Agility and Accuracy buffs to her team constantly, while fuelling them with Spirit P for harder hitting attacks.
Can remove Debuffs or Seals on herself.
Rin’s second Skill doubles up as purification for any pesky Seals or Debuffs landed on her. Especially useful when looking to solo challenging content without needing to also cleanse fellow team mates.
Lacks powerful Killers
Rin’s spread of Killers are fairly specific, allowing her to perform well on certain groups of enemies but not on others, limiting her damage output.
Watch out for friendly Burn
Rin’s 3rd Skill has the unfortunate side effect of also inflicting Burn on her allies. Consider pairing her with Friends who appreciate this anomaly, such as Utsuho (S5), Reimu (F1) or Megumu.
