Is Shoki Ikenami good?

A buffer whose support shifts with his Improv state. He opens with Followspot for a damage buff and two stacks of Blessing (a small passive heal), then uses Improvise for party Attack buffs plus a bonus tied to the state he's in. Wind is the usual state: Followspot then leaves enemies Windswept with lower defense, and the team gets extra pierce.

At awareness 6 he can run Wind and Electric together for pierce and crit damage at once, and his HIGHLIGHT adds more Attack and ailment resistance.

Pairs well with: Bless Single-Target Team; Bless AoE Team; Budget Wonder Team.

Strengths

  • Party Attack buffs every rotation
  • Wind state adds pierce and a defense-lowering ailment
  • Blessing stacks give light passive healing

Weaknesses

  • Needs awareness 6 to hold two Improv states at once
