Thread: Kamihime General Discussion + Q&A

So... dumped a bit hoping for either Sol or Tish, but RNG will always be RNG... ended up with draconic eye and Aether... is Aether any good? Her kit seems nice at first glance, but her +burst gauge seems to be on a rather long CD and a bit slow for wind teams. Crit may seem useful but not sure if its important enough to sacrifice health in exchange for. Lastly her burst damage+cap buff seems a bit redundant seeing as Wind has a lot of exceed weapons and fast burst teams will always be running Shingen who has already has PF. I've barely touched my Wind team and haven't researched much about Wind team so my knowledge is very lacking in that area, any explanation would be welcomed. I just don't want to label her as bad without knowing anything.

Her exceed buff isn't consumed on use. In a fight long enough duration to charge it and with a team that can burst quickly, you can take advantage of the stacks repeatedly.

Hmm, is she fast enough for spamming the buff consistently? I haven't really used any stacking buffs yet, so I assume the 10 turn duration is counted separately for each stack, and since it costs 10 BG per stack... it sort of implies she needs extra burst generated(almost doubled?) to both buff and be able to join the other himes for ~4t bursts.

Aether is very powerful, but will take some investment in order for you to be able to maximize her potential. First off, her passive allows her to generate 15BG instead of 10BG per normal hit. So that means, as long as she DATAs, she will easily catch up in burst despite the constant -10BG drain from abi3. To do that, you have several options to consider:
- Shingen buff, very weak but better than nothing
- Titania
- Acc with DA and preferably TA buff
- After WiCat is released, Tiara set
- Azazel AW, when she gets it
- Also an option, Summon actives such as Fluffy / Aratron

Personally, I've never had any trouble getting Aether to catch up. In fact, she's faster than most Wind SSRs on my team once I got her DATA consistency going, even though everyone's already equipped with Tiara sets. She's currently placed on the 3rd slot of my team, with only Cu in front of her.

P.S. Obviously, accidents can still happen and you should improvise whether you want to use abi3 when you are preparing an FB next turn, or when you don't necessary have to use it because you already have a good number of stacks, or when you are racing for MVP against other players and can't afford to lose time for long buffing animation.

So would it be appropriate to say she's more of a hime requiring heavy investments that comes with a very high rate of return, but at worst is still decent if minimally invested?

Is there anywhere I can go to see the list of upcoming events?

The encyclopedia in Sanahtlig's toolbox gives you a quick peek on all the upcoming events.

Or you can just use the DMM wiki, I guess. We're pretty much exactly one year behind of them.

If she doesn't have ways to support the maintenance of her burst buff, she's either a hime with no abilities or one that's dragging your FB timing down. Her value will always be tied to how fast you can get her to attack.

Not true man. Dragging your FB timing down? You crazy? Her +50% BG rate assist isn't just for show you know. There is no way she would drag you down unless you blindly spam her burst buff every turn. And you are completely ignoring her team 20BG every 7T. While not as awesome as Shingen's MEX, she is at the very least speeding up your team and not the other way around. Also don't forget she easily bursts for more dmg than your other SSRs because of that echo of hers. Saying that she has no useful ability other than her burst buff is complete BS.
