TRIBE NINE – Kazuki Quick Start Guide

Kazuki DPS Guide

Ву Mossey.

Kazuki is a breaker/shielder/subDPS who can be ran with multiple teammates depending on how you want to play.

Kazuki is super flexible in the way you can build him, depending on how comfy you want him to feel and how he suits your play style, and how much tanking, shielding or damage you want.

I personally believe that piloting him is the best way to play as you can spam your secondary attack much more than the AI does, and increasing how quickly you break. Once you break the enemy, you will deploy his shield and enter tension 2 – which you can use to ult and recoup all your lost memory. Rinse and repeat until boss dies! You can use his shield instantly when beginning the battle if you need to but your memory will drain quicker. His shield is very strong and can even keep characters alive like Q – whose AI would previously let him die.

Build

As Kazuki’s shield and ATK (after ulting) scale off of his max HP, I believe the best way to build him currently for bigger shields and tanking are Maximum HP (must) and a mixture of crit damage/ultimate efficiency/atk/crit rate if necessary.

For pure damage, after testing, building ATK and crit is superior. You can still have your 3rd stat be max hp and be completely fine.

He is very good at T0 and dupes are not a must. His T1 will increase his shield resistance by 25% of max HP, making the party more durable. His T3 will make it so you don’t run out of memory so fast and his T5 increases his break damage.

Passives

Regarding his passives, full send into either Survival Instincts for max hp builds – bigger shields and better tanking – or Fighting Instincts for big damage. You can also do a mixture of both depending on your needs and how comfy you need him to feel.

My current sub stats are here, and they’re more important than activating a set bonus. Defender is your go set for tankuki and big shields, with Paladin being an option if you need the shield resistance. ATK set is your choice for big damage, and you can also choose the ultimate damage set if you want to spam his ultimate with tension battery Tsuki build.

Teams

Teams can consist of:

• Q – Tank/Extra Break.
• Jio – Def Shred/Extra Break.
• Semba – Damage.
• Gotanda – Damage.
• Tsuki – Tension Battery/Damage/Break.
• Miu – Damage, but you will lose out on her or Kazuki’s ult.

Kazuki’s shield will not stop Enoki losing heat:

Tension Cards

Regarding tension cards, Kazuki’s is by no means a must pull, but it is very strong, offering 40% crit rate at max level if you have a shielder (Kazuki/Minami/Senju) or run it with Ejection. You do not need to pull for dupes unless you’re a whale. As far as I’m aware, his deflect server’s counter attack is counted as an additional attack for his TC.

Currently testing with Tsuki battery – you do not need to run Full Party if you have Things To Hold On To, I just like the extra crit so I don’t have to waste stats on it.
