Should You Pull?
Only if you need a strong supporter or speedster. Prepare for trouble, and make it double! The Temples of Truth and Love make their return, a long time after the Sisterly Temples of Peace and Plenty, and there are no particular gimmicks here aside from 20 Fortune Dust from any God Crystal Prayers.
That said, the B3 variants of Sagume Kishin and Kaguya Houraisan have their ups and downs, with Sagume having great and versatile supportive capabilities for Ultra Festival standards as well as equally great damage. She doesn’t have any glaring downsides, aside from a lengthy 6 Turn Cooldown on her Skill 2 (her Spirit Power increasing Skill) but as demonstrated recently, she isn’t the only Supporter who has to deal with longer cooldowns on Skills. Kaguya on the other hand, is all about Speed, as her role suggests. Her damage, especially on her Last Word is pretty solid, and her Spirit Power gain for herself is greater than it looks at first, especially with her Passive 3 and her ability allowing her to convert anomalies into Spirit Power. Unfortunately, she is more flawed than her fellow Temple on this Prayer. This is because she is unfortunately lacking CRIT ATK buffs which is a shame, since her Killer range is actually solid, mainly having Youkai Killer. She also struggles to provide support to the team, limited to just Evasion and Agility, while her go-to debuff is Accuracy. But all in all, B3 Kaguya can definitely shine in the right situations, especially if she is able to make sure her CRIT ATK and Yang ATK is all set up.
And with that said, this Prayer does have its merits, but when considering all the current Prayers, it definitely isn’t the most compulsory Prayer there is. This is partly because of the quantity of Prayers to consider which may make decisions a little more difficult, but it’s especially if you already have someone who fills the role of a great, well rounded Supporter outside of B3 Sagume, or if you have another Speed unit who can do similar/better things to B3 Kaguya. Of course, Sagume supporters and Kaguya crusaders will be very much behind this Prayer, and if they don’t have either of them yet, now is the perfect chance to pick one/both of them up!
To those who wish to worship the Temples of Truth and Love, best of luck to those who want to extend their reach to the Temples above in this Ultra Festival Prayer!
Quick Overview
B3 Sagume Kishin is a Support-Class Friend who brings vast and versatile utility, breaking potential and respectable damage output.
Great Breaks via Elements and Anomalies
B3 Sagume's breaking potential is rather insane. All of her spells have good Moon access on them, from the 2 on both Spell Cards to the 3 on her Last Word. Metal is also spread out well on all of her spells, with 2 on Spell Card 1, 4 on Spell Card 2 and 3 on her Last Word. Furthermore, she holds anomaly breaks on some spells: specifically Paralyze breaks on her Spell Card 1, Blind breaks on her Spell Card 1, and both on her Last Word. She can only inflict these anomalies via spells (either in Pre-ATKs or chances during the spell), but the accessibility only makes her easier to synergize well on different teams.
High and Versatile Utility
When it comes to wide utility, B3 Sagume and what she offers might be what you're looking for. Outside of selfish CRIT Accuracy UP on Skill 2, all Skill effects revolve around helping the party. Spirit Power, offensive buffs, defensive buffs, Barriers... she has all of it! Even her Spell Cards join the fun, with Spell Card 1 restoring even more Barriers, Spell Card 2 giving Agility and more Spirit Power, and her Last Word serving as another offensive buff. The vast coverage allows her to work with a variety of other units in the game.
Well-Rounded Damage
B3 Sagume is even capable of dealing very good damage as well. She easily reaches 6 levels of Yang and CRIT ATK UP with due to Skills and her Last Word's Pre-ATK effects, the CRIT buff is also benefited greatly thanks to her Killer coverage, including Human and Youkai.
Slight Issue with Skill 2’s Cooldown Rate
She is very well rounded to the point of not having many glaring flaws, but a grievance to be had is that taking advantage of Skill 2’s 1.00 Spirit Power for the team can only be achieved every 6 turns. This isn’t the worst cooldown rate in the world, but 6 Turns definitely leans toward the longer side of things.
B3 Kaguya Houraisan is a Speed-Class Friend with the potential to inflict great damage, intricately boost her Spirit Power and go as fast as the speed of light.
Potential to Hit Extremely Hard
High Slice Scaling and solid Killers such as Youkai means B3 Kaguya’s Last Word will hit most enemies like a truck. With enough Yang ATK and CRIT ATK, you’ll see those high damage numbers.
Multiple Methods of Spirit Power Gain
Not only does B3 Kaguya gain Spirit Power via Skill 2, she gains 0.20 Spirit Power for every inflicted Paralyze and Blind anomaly onto B3 Kaguya, which can also be achieved via her Spell Card Bullet Lines. On top of that, she also gains 0.25 Spirit Power every turn via her Passive 3.
Kit’s Buffs are Generally Limited
Whether we are accounting for team support, or for selfish buffs, B3 Kaguya is very lacking with sustainability. She uses a lot of team Agility and Evasion buffs as well as reduces the Accuracy of her enemies (outside of Evasion and Yang DEF debuffs here and there), but outside of her Skill 2 and Last Word giving herself Yang ATK, she just doesn’t provide that elsewhere, let alone to this team. She is also desperately missing out on CRIT ATK buffs since they are nowhere to be found.
