Is Hoshimi Miyabi good?
A Frost Anomaly agent with huge damage multipliers and wide AoE who reset expectations for damage dealers. She builds toward a fully charged Shimotsuki, her charged Basic Attack, which hits as hard as most Ultimates. She's also the first Anomaly agent built on crit, wanting 80% Crit Rate for her bonus Anomaly buildup, so she's stat-hungry and has few W-Engines beyond her signature.
Her Frost application must land at set points, her rotation changes with the team, and her long animations reward quick-swapping.

It’s Chief Hoshimi Miyabi from Hollow Special Operations Section 6!
As the youngest Void Hunter in history, I wonder if Ms.
Miyabi has any tips on how to get stronger that she'd like to share with everyone?
"As a warrior, only through continuous training can one achieve true mastery, regardless the type of training."

Hoshimi Miyabi
"Simply imitating the swordsmanship of the strong will ultimately not lead to greatness."
"It's like the newly bought photocopier in the office.
It may be energy-efficient and eco-friendly, but its impassionate replications only add meaningless noise and distortion."
"This noise will become your weakness. You must not get careless."
Void Hunter Description
In the Agent menu, in place of the brief name most Agents have, Hoshimi Miyabi has Void Hunter Void Hunter: Isshin Muga, which, if interacted with, gives the following passage.
In the old capital under the gaze of the moon, seven travelers of the World's Void once made a decision:
to allow the king of the mortal realm to bestow honors upon them.
To this day, most of the new capital's seven badges lie forgotten, gathering dust,
a fact known to few, while the joyous city remains confident in her impenetrable protection.
The Ethereal-hunting foxfire has been tamed by the martial artist,
and young fox ears flicker frequently on fluorescent screens,
filling people with boundless confidence.
Yet those seated atop the pinnacle of the new capital are restless, each harboring their own fears.

Impressions
Why in New Eridu does she think Officer Mewmew is a sea otter...?
Sometimes, she enters a semi-conscious meditative state after training.
The purpose of Miyabi's power is to protect, and she's willing to pay the price for it.
Trivia
Miyabi's player name at the Godfinger arcade is "170," possibly in reference to her height.
Her sword style resembles Iaido, a Japanese martial art focused on quick drawing, fast slashes and quick sheathing.
Miyabi affirms to have never had a nightmare in her life.
In the Animated Short "The Path to Becoming a Hero," the scene where an infant Hoshimi Miyabi walks towards the sword is reminiscent of the , a tradition held at a child's first birthday party where parents place various objects in front of the child to see which object the child will choose.
This is believed to predict the child's future aspiration or career, which is later shown with Miyabi later growing up to be a skilled swordswoman.
Etymology
Her family name, 星見, means "fortune teller," whilst her given name, 雅, means "elegance" or "refinement."

Stories
3Agent Profile: Miyabi
Hoshimi Miyabi, the Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6.
Miyabi goes on a lot of field missions and still doesn't know which floor the regular monthly meeting is on.
Even if you see Miyabi in the office, it's unlikely she's dealing with paperwork, and more likely polishing her sword.
Being conferred the title of Void Hunter due to her outstanding contributions, she's an elite amongst elites in Section 6.
She has great prestige amongst the citizens.
Once, Miyabi accidentally wandered into a "Miyabi Fan Club" hosted offline event.
Miyabi was thought to be a fan with godlike impersonation skills, and that event resulted in a precious visual recording.
Hoshimi Miyabi is honest and pragmatic. She is not simply a martial artist obsessed with her art and without care for the world around her.
Anyone who knows her will realize she's always pursued justice in her heart... even if it may eventually cause a revolution.

Fairy! Find that "precious visual recording"! My brother wants to see it!
Wise
There's no need to trouble yourself, Fairy. If Belle wants to see it, she'll ask Miss Miyabi herself...

Core Passive: Searing Cold
Core SkillWhen Hoshimi Miyabi deals Frost DMG, she applies Icefire to the target, lasting 30s. When accumulating Frost Anomaly Buildup against targets with Icefire, increases Frost Anomaly Buildup Rate by 100% of Hoshimi Miyabi's CRIT Rate, up to a maximum increase of 80%. As Hoshimi Miyabi accumulates Frost Anomaly Buildup, it has its own independent Attribute Anomaly Buildup gauge and triggers Freeze, Shatter, and Frostbite that can react with other Attribute Anomalies, including Ice Attribute Anomaly, to trigger Disorder. When Hoshimi Miyabi applies Frostbite to enemies with Icefire, it will consume the Icefire to trigger Frostburn - Break, dealing Frost DMG equal to 750% of Hoshimi Miyabi's ATK and causing the target to enter the Frostburn state. All squad members accumulate 14% more Anomaly Buildup against enemies under the Frostburn state, but Hoshimi Miyabi cannot reapply Icefire to these enemies. The Frostburn state ends when Frostbite expires. While this state remains active, triggering another Attribute Anomaly will overwrite Frostbite and remove Frostburn. Upon triggering Frostburn - Break, Hoshimi Miyabi obtains 1 point of Fallen Frost. This effect can trigger once every 10s. Frostburn - Break ATK Scaling: 1500% Squad Anomaly Buildup Increase Against Frostburn: 20%
