Whether you're a veteran or just starting out, Yuzuha’s unique abilities can turn your gameplay up a notch, especially if you know how to harness her sweet, sugar-coated potential.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to truly master this A-tier physical support agent from the Spook Shack. From skill breakdowns to team synergies, we’ll cover it all so you can dominate the hollows with Yuzuha’s quirky yet powerful candy-based tactics. Let’s dive in!
Who Is Ukami Yuzuha?
Ukami Yuzuha is a quirky and mischievous S-rank agent with a penchant for causing chaos with her sweet treats and a Tanuki sidekick named Kama. Her physical support role revolves around buffing your team, dealing some solid damage, and amplifying anomaly damage to new heights. Yuzuha isn’t just about hitting hard, though; she shines brightest when you capitalize on her ability to boost anomaly buildup and disrupt enemies with her Sweet Scare debuff.
Yuzuha’s kit is designed to support teams focused on anomaly damage while also being able to dish out some solid damage herself. If you’re looking to optimize your gameplay with a bit of fun and flair, she’s a must-have agent in your arsenal.
Understanding Ukami Yuzuha’s Core Skills
Yuzuha’s skills come with a delightful twist. They’re all about setting up damage, empowering allies, and wreaking havoc with her candy-themed abilities. Let's break them down in detail.
1. Whimsical Wonder (Core Passive)
The foundation of Yuzuha’s kit is her core passive, Whimsical Wonder. Right from the start of a battle, Yuzuha gets three sugar points, which can go up to a cap of six. This passive is key to understanding how Yuzuha supports her team. Here’s what it does:
-
Sugar Points: These points are the lifeblood of her skills. You’ll be stacking them to activate her strongest abilities.
-
Tanuki Wish Effect: When Yuzuha hits an enemy with her EX Special or Ultimate abilities, all of her teammates receive the Tanuki Wish effect, which grants an attack boost equal to 40% of her attack (up to a cap). This lasts for 40 seconds, providing a nice sustained damage buff to the entire squad.
Not stopping there, her passive also gives her the ability to increase the anomaly buildup rate and disorder damage for the entire team. For every point above 100 Anomaly Mastery, both these effects increase by 0.2%, reaching a max of 20%.
2. Tanuki Claws (Basic Attack)
Yuzuha’s basic attack is a fun, fast five-hit combo called Tanuki Claws. It’s quick, efficient, and builds up her sugar points to keep her offensive going. But wait, there’s more:
-
Tanuki Cloak: When you hold the basic attack, Yuzuha enters a parry stance called Tanuki Cloak, where she can deflect enemy attacks. Parrying successfully grants one sugar point. This adds a layer of defensive strategy that can keep you safe while building your offense.
3. Hard Candy Shot (AoE Damage)
When allies attack enemies, Yuzuha automatically performs Hard Candy Shot, an AoE attack targeting the enemy. This skill fires a candy shell that deals damage, and if it lands a heavy attack, she consumes one sugar point. Additionally, if enemies are under the Sweet Scare debuff, this attack will trigger Sugar Burst Sparkles, dealing more damage to the afflicted enemies and significantly boosting anomaly buildup.
4. Sugar Burst Sparkles (Max Variant)
A follow-up to Hard Candy Shot, this ability has an increased anomaly buildup rate, which can make it devastating when paired with other anomaly-focused agents. You trigger Sugar Burst Sparkles by landing a heavy attack from Hard Candy Shot or from her Assist Follow-Up attack, Stuffed Hard Candy Shot, on an enemy affected by Sweet Scare.
This attack is vital for ramping up the anomaly buildup and setting up huge damage windows for your team.
5. Tanuki Kama (Tanuki Helper)
While Tanuki Kama isn’t directly under your control in combat, she’s a big part of Yuzuha’s kit. Kama fights alongside Yuzuha, borrowing her attack power and participating in her basic attack and Tanuki Cloak parry stance. This adds extra damage and consistency to your overall output, especially when Yuzuha is focused on supporting the team.
6. Sugar Rush Assist Skills
Yuzuha’s assist skill comes with multiple layers, giving you some flexibility in battle. Her Defensive Assist grants one sugar point, but it’s her assist follow-ups that make her even more useful. You can trigger two different follow-up attacks:
-
Cookies: A defensive follow-up that enhances her candy-powered moves.
-
Stuffed Hard Candy Shot: This one is triggered when you time her basic attack correctly. It’s all about the timing and syncing your moves with Yuzuha’s rhythm to maximize her assist potential.
7. Gummy Bombardment (EX Special)
Yuzuha’s EX Special, Gummy Bombardment, is a blast of cannon shots that fires ahead. This attack doesn’t just deal damage, though; it also applies the Sweet Scare debuff, grants two sugar points, and sets up for a quick assist from another agent. When Sweet Scare activates, it triggers Flavor Match, matching the damage dealt by Sugar Burst Sparkles and its max variant to the swapping agent’s attribute, further amplifying your team’s damage potential.
8. Cavity Alert (Ultimate)
The ultimate move is where Yuzuha really starts to shine. In Cavity Alert, Yuzuha and her trusty Tanuki helper Kama perform a joint bombardment. Not only does this attack deal great damage, but it also applies the Sweet Scare debuff, restores energy to allies, generates two sugar points, and enables a quick assist. The combination of all these effects makes Yuzuha an invaluable part of any team focused on maximizing damage output.
Optimizing Yuzuha’s Skills: Priority Leveling
When leveling Yuzuha, here’s the priority order for her abilities:
-
Basic Attack (Tanuki Claws) should be the first skill to upgrade. This gives her the most consistent damage output and helps with sugar point generation.
-
EX Special (Gummy Bombardment) is next, as it enables you to activate Sweet Scare and gain sugar points efficiently.
-
Ultimate (Cavity Alert) comes after that for the powerful utility and team synergy.
-
Assist Skills can be upgraded later for additional utility in battle, but don’t prioritize them over her core abilities unless you want extra flexibility.
-
Finally, her dodge is the least important unless you want to focus on parrying.
Best Builds and Equipments for Ukami Yuzuha
To truly make the most of Yuzuha’s abilities, equipping her with the right W Engines and Drives is essential. Here’s what we recommend for optimal performance.
W Engines
-
Metanukorphosis (Signature): This one’s a no-brainer for Yuzuha. It provides base energy regen and boosts her Anomaly Mastery, as well as increasing her allies' Anomaly Proficiency when dealing physical damage via EX Special or Ultimate.
-
Alternative Choices: If you don’t have Metanukorphosis, you can also try Weeping Cradle, Kaboom the Cannon, or Unfettered Gameball for decent stat boosts.
Drive Sets
For Drives, there are a few good combinations that can further enhance Yuzuha’s supporting capabilities:
-
Astral Voice (4-piece): This is a great choice for maximizing her support potential, boosting her anomaly mastery and damage-dealing abilities.
-
Swing Jazz (4-piece): Ideal for Anomaly Mastery and Anomaly Proficiency.
-
Freedom Blues (4-piece): A great secondary option for team synergy.
-
Faith’s Melody (2-piece) is another great option for boosting Anomaly Mastery.
Main Stats:
-
Disc 4: Focus on Attack Percent.
-
Disc 5: Again, Attack Percent.
-
Disc 6: Opt for Anomaly Mastery to increase overall effectiveness.
Sub Stats:
Look for Attack Percent, Anomaly Proficiency, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, or Penetration on your sub-stats. This will help her boost both her damage output and that of her team.
Best Team Compositions for Ukami Yuzuha
Now, let’s talk about team synergy. Yuzuha excels when paired with certain agents that complement her anomaly damage boosting, support role, and damage amplification. Here are a few team setups that will make Yuzuha shine even brighter:
Anomaly-Focused Teams
-
Miyabi (Anomaly DPS): Miyabi is one of the best DPS agents for anomaly-focused teams. Her damage will be significantly boosted by Yuzuha’s buffs, especially when you trigger Sweet Scare and Flavor Match.
-
Vivien (Sub-DPS & Disorder): Vivien brings disorder damage, making her a great partner with Yuzuha. You can swap Vivien out for Yanagi or Lone for even more flexibility.
-
Other Options: Bernice can be swapped in for Vivien if you want to focus on physical damage or disorder-focused teams.
Physical Damage Teams
-
Jane Doe or Piper (Main DPS): These two are perfect physical damage dealers. They benefit greatly from Yuzuha’s attack buffs.
-
Bernice: For sub-DPS or Disorder support.
General Support Teams
-
Soldier 11 (Physical DPS): Paired with a solid stunner like Lighter or Ketta, Yuzuha can boost Soldier 11’s effectiveness.
-
Ellen: A great choice for a more defensive or control-oriented team.
