Playstyle
Bunraku first — bind packs, flood statuses for Impetus and Condition Overload, finish with guns or melee. Kumihimo tops unique statuses.
Passive abilities
Koumei rolls dice — lucky triples empower abilities. A rotating weapon-buff passive feeds Omikuji's Fortune cooldown reduction on kills. Status spam from Kumihimo and Bunraku stacks Arcane Impetus hard.
Active abilities
- 1 Kumihimo — Destiny threads that apply many statuses. Kumihimo Loading is the ammo/reload augment.
- 2 Omikuji — Challenge for decrees. Omikuji's Fortune cuts cooldown when you kill with the passive-buffed weapon.
- 3 Omamori — Charm stacks that can negate damage — RNG tanking that fits the dice theme.
- 4 Bunraku — Bind enemies as puppets and flood statuses. High casting-speed comfort.
- Keep Bunraku. Optional Kumihimo Loading. Omikuji's Fortune still pairs well on long runs.
