Should You Pull?
If you want to Crit Forever. Before she decided to retire from the whole business of pillaging and terrorizing ordinary citizens and youkai, Ibaraki-Douji(‘s arm) knew how to find weaknesses and push them HARD. While Kasen specializes in pummeling exactly one target into the ground, her leftover limb would rather spread that knowledge among her best friends, encouraging them to join in the fun.
Ditching all the fun metaphors, this Friend can easily max out a party’s Crit ACC, coming pretty close with Crit ATK as well. This means you can stop worrying about Killers, safe with the knowledge that now all your Friends are equal under Ibaraki(‘s arm)’s influence.
But she needs your support as much as she gives it, requiring a good natured Friend to lend her a Yin ATK shoulder so she can also participate in the bloodletting. Otherwise her damage may fall a little short of her teammates. Remember to treat your oni Friends well!
Quick Overview
Ibaraki Douji’s Arm (L1) is a Destroy-class Friend who can rally her party’s Crit while wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
Critically Acclaimed Friend
Ibaraki’s Arm has a knack for singling out enemy weaknesses, with the ability to boost both Crit ACC and Crit ATK for her entire party to dizzying heights. Her own lines feature the powerful Youkai Killer alongside a few others to help her hit broad swathes on Gensokyo’s populace, as well as Explosive bullets that give her a chance of landing crits on enemies with heavy Yin or Yang DEF (bullet line dependant). Keep her stocked with Spirit P and soon you’ll be partying on the smoldering ashes of your enemies’ remains.
Burn Baby Burn
Friends with the ability to both drop and break Anomalies in a single breath are always cherished. Ibaraki’s Arm does this on her Spellcard 1 which also hits ALL enemies, leaving them with much fewer barriers than before.
Needs Yin support
Ibaraki’s Arm is very heavily weighted towards landing Crits, with very minor Yin buffs on her end. You will want to fill this gap with allied supports, or Story Cards to keep her Yin ATK levels healthy.
Odd Element balancing
It can be hard to pinpoint any particular element for her to break, aside from Earth. Even then, she has some awkward choices in her kit, with her Last Word featuring 4 Metal and 2 Earth. She rocks 3 Water/2 Earth/1 Moon on her Spell Card 1, and 4 Earth/2 Star on Spell Card 2. Plan accordingly.
