Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Hinokagutsuchi.jpg Hinokagutsuchi
Purple Red Purple Yellow 4 3 3 5 5
Pros
  • High VIT and 70% HP boost from skills and panels makes him very tanky. Gains Null Mortal on Panel 2. Additionally, he takes 60% less damage unless the enemy hits his weak point.
  • If hit by a physical attack (miss/crit capable, not just Phys element), he retaliates by casting Gloom and a Fire AoE on the enemy team. If panel 1, he also debuffs their DEF.
  • Scarlet Chop is a strong Fire ST attack that hits two separate times with 80% crit rate each. This combined with +20% from innate Epitome of Finesse means he effectively has 100% crit rate.
  • Low AGI but 65% accuracy boost from skills and panels means he can fit well into slow teams, while still being able to hit decently often. Intimidating Stance in Purple synergizes well with this.
  • Works well in fire Democalypse with Rending Fire innate and Hinokagutsuchi (Skill) giving extra damage in boss, or extra ratio in prelim.
Cons
  • Weak to Ice and Dark.
  • Will have accuracy issues if not Panel 2, since 50% of his 65% accuracy boost is in there.
  • Questionable in PvP, since he has major problems when against Zeus or Demeter:
    • Elemental resistance down level 2, combined with Hino not having any NDR (aside from Teal's Null Phys), means he will become Weak to that element - nullifying his 60% damage reduction.
    • The retaliatory AoE can be exploited by Demeter teams to recover their Bulwarks - they can just spam normal attacks on him to recharge bulwarks to full.
